Winter in New England isn’t just a great time of year to enjoy cozy mornings by the fireside or outdoor activities like skiing; it’s also a great time to tackle remodeling jobs in your home. Winter is an ideal time to take on those projects you’ve put off during the year. With increased availability for contractors, a chance for boosting home value to prep your home for the spring market, and ideal indoor conditions, now’s the time to get things done.
Winter may not seem like the best time to start a home improvement project, but in reality, it is a perfect time to complete the project you’ve been putting off all spring, summer and fall. Let’s explore the benefits of using Liberty Painting & Siding for your next kitchen or bathroom remodel this winter.
Increased Contractor Availability
Here at Liberty Painting & Siding, our busiest season for home improvement projects and painting is usually from May through October, as many clients need outdoor work completed on their homes. That means the winter months offer greater scheduling flexibility for homeowners who are looking to renovate an aging kitchen or bathroom.
Spring is typically one of the busiest seasons for painting and home renovations, making your decision to start in winter a smart one that puts you ahead of the crowd. With more flexible scheduling, our team can dedicate the time and attention your project deserves and make sure every detail is perfect.
Increased Home Value
According to the National Association of Realtors, kitchen and bathroom renovations recoup around 71% of their cost. Kitchen renovations are consistently ranked among the top home improvements for value. A minor kitchen remodel can often yield an impressive ROI of 70%–80%. This typically involves updating appliances, refacing cabinets, and installing new countertops.
The Journal of Light Construction reports in their 2024 Cost vs. Value Report that not only is the ROI high for a kitchen or bathroom remodel, but also that the changes increase the home’s value by thousands of dollars when it comes time to list the house.
Smart Planning for Spring Home Sale
If putting your house on the real estate market in the spring is your plan, a wintertime renovation is ideal timing for homeowners hoping to get multiple offers and above-asking prices.
A modern, updated kitchen and bathroom are a top priority for many potential home buyers. An updated look and functionality, along with new appliances, can set your home apart in a competitive market. By completing the remodel now, you’ll be ready to showcase a stunning kitchen or bathroom when the peak real estate season arrives.
Winter Is Ideal for Indoor Work
The winter months offer an excellent opportunity to focus on interior renovations when outdoor activities are limited by inclement weather. Commonly considered the “off-season” in construction, renovations indoors are entirely possible and easier to schedule. Additionally, since other industries along the supply chain consider this period downtime, the prices of materials needed to update your kitchen and bath are often lower than during the busiest seasons.
