4 Reasons Why You Should Remodel Your Home in the Winter

Thinking about remodeling your kitchen or master bath? Or maybe you finally want to install that xeriscape (read: drought tolerant!) landscaping you’ve heard so much about? Did you know that winter is the perfect time to get started? Most contractors’ schedules will pick up drastically in the spring, but in the winter they tend to be pretty slow. This makes it the perfect time to start a big project, even if it is outdoors. Here are a few perks to home remodeling in the winter:

1. Project scheduling is more convenient. During the spring and summer months, contractors tend to be very busy with outdoor projects. This makes winter the primetime for remodels, even if they are outdoors. Given that California winters are so mild, this is especially true. Beat other homeowners to the punch and get your remodel started now.
2. Materials are cheaper. Most homeowners aren’t looking to remodel in the winter, and home improvement stores know it. Because of this, they have lower prices and more sales. Take advantage!
3. Permits are quickly approved. Because less people tend to remodel in the winter, the department that approves building permits also tends to be less busy in the winter, thus making it easier to get yours pulled.
4. El Nino’s got nothing on us. Just because it’s winter and the forecast is calling for a lot of rain, we can still get outdoor projects done. With careful planning and a little bit of patience, you can have a beautiful outdoor area by spring.
