Because of the long, sunny days, summer is typically the most popular season for home remodeling projects. However, there are many benefits to completing some of your renovations in the winter. You will have less competition since most other households will schedule work in the warmer seasons. Because contractors are generally slower in the winter, they may complete the work at lower prices.
Though the endeavors a general contractor can take on depend on the location of your home and the current winter climate you are encountering, the ideas below are commonly the best construction projects to tackle:
Repainting
Repainting the interior of your home is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to improve the appearance, protect your walls, and boost the overall value. The winter atmosphere creates excellent conditions for painting since there is less humidity, and the paint can dry much faster and better.
Many paint manufacturers offer reduced prices during wintertime, which allows you to save even more. If you choose a VOC paint containing volatile organic compounds, you will not need to open your doors and windows after the paint application. Heavy-duty fans are a suitable way to air your home.
Replace Kitchen Countertops
Your kitchen is one of the busiest areas within your home and yields a high return on any money you invest. When replacing your kitchen countertops, you can get increased space, improved function, cleaner surroundings, and more. This replacement has a considerable impact, yet it is more economical and less time consuming than renovating the entire room.
Replacing your old countertops is an undertaking that does not demand any time outside. You will not have to worry about workers tracking ice or mud into your home. If the weather takes a turn for the worse, your remodeling can continue without any delays.
Renovate the Basement
The basement is a significant part of your home that can bring tremendous benefits. Remodeling corrects any problems that you have, like replacing insulation, addressing cracks in the walls, and preventing leaks. It also allows you to change the room into a more usable area, such as an office, gym, or family room. This space is prone to mold, but the reduced humidity in the winter lowers that risk.
You may have plans to travel, attend festivals, or lounge by the pool in the summer. By remodeling during the winter, you will have your schedule free during the warmer months. Basements are typically fully or partially underground and have a door to close off the area. You will remain comfortable and warm if the contractor has to open a window or generates a ton of dust.
