When it comes to various home improvements and remodeling needs, each season of the year may come with its own benefits and drawbacks. For those in need of a kitchen or bathroom remodel, the winter is often considered a prime season to consider such an upgrade.
At Ideal Kitchen & Bath, we’re proud to offer the very best bathroom and kitchen remodeling services to clients throughout Orem and other parts of Utah, plus recommendations on ideal timing for any such remodel. Why is winter often considered ideal for such home upgrades, and why might you consider sometime in the next couple months for your project? This two-part blog series will go over several reasons.
All the Work is Indoors
Unlike certain other remodeling or upgrade projects around the home, kitchen and bathroom remodels are primarily indoors projects. And since there are several chunks of the winter where exterior work really isn’t realistic in a place like Utah due to snow and ice, using this time of year to get your home’s kitchen or bathroom back up to speed can often make sense.
Energy Efficiency Improvements
Winter is also a period where some homeowners most easily notice gaps in their energy efficiency efforts; we all tend to keep the thermostat a little higher and make use of more home heating sources during the winter months. That’s especially true if your exterior living spaces like patio and deck areas aren’t extremely useful for this time of year.
As such, making your home as energy efficient as possible beforehand can be wise. The work you’ll undertake for your kitchen or bathroom remodel will include several themes that speak to energy efficiency, from re-insulation and insulation to new, modern fixtures and appliances that use less energy than the ones in your home now. By tackling this in wintertime when you’re already making use of more heating technologies, you’ll be keeping the costs associated with such upgrades lower.
Give it as a Gift
While we’ve just passed holiday season for this year, another common reason why a bathroom or kitchen remodel is selected for this period is when it’s being given by one member of a household to another, most commonly by one spouse to another. Has your husband or wife been pining for a new bathroom space for years, for example? If so, why not use the holiday season as a perfect excuse to gift them with one?
There are even some situations where we can arrange to handle your entire remodel as a surprise, such as when you take your significant other on a short pre-holiday trip while we work our magic in your home.
