Although it might seem like the sunny days of summer make the most sense for home remodeling projects, there is more to consider than the weather. If you are doing a major renovation inside and out, you can plan each project for the best time of year to begin.

Decks

When it comes to decks, you want to get some use out of your new remodel the same year the project is completed. Therefore, April is the best time to get started. You can be ready to relax by the time June rolls around. This is also the time of year the ground can be worked as it has thawed after the winter months. However, it is also the busiest time for builders. So, it is best to schedule this project ahead of time. That can often mean booking as far in advance as January or February, depending on the contractor.

Roofing

Roofing is another spring project. It allows you to have an inspection of your roof. Your local professional Missouri or Kansas City roofing contractors can determine if you just need new shingles, or if there is damage beneath the shingles that needs to be addressed. You can also do your roof in the summer or early fall. The key here is to avoid challenges with the weather. It can’t be too cold as many roofing materials require heat to cure. Roofers also want to avoid the dead heat of the blistering summer.

Kitchen and Bathrooms

When summer arrives in Kansas City, indoor projects such as kitchen and bathrooms make good sense. That is because you can plan to be away for vacation while these high-demand rooms are out of service. As well, for kitchen renovations, you can always prepare meals on your barbecue during the renovation when the weather is warm.

Outdoor Construction Work

Outdoor construction work is often a good job left to the fall. Some things such as painting will require a specific temperature, so keep this in mind. Often, contractors prefer to do many types of outdoor projects at this time of year as it is cooler.

Hardwood Flooring

Flooring is an excellent choice for the fall months. First, the kids are back at school, making it easier for the contractors to work without disturbance. Also, flooring is messy and noisy, which can be unpleasant for kids. It also allows you to get beautiful new floors just in time for the holidays. The fall has ideal temperature and humidity for hardwood installation. When the humidity is high or low, newly installed flooring can crack, warp, and cup. As well, your home temperature tends to sit between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the perfect temperature for flooring adhesives to set.

The Busiest Times

One last thing to consider is how busy contractors will be at certain times of the year. Scheduling off-season home remodeling projects might get you better deals if contractors are sitting idle. It will also make it easier to schedule your work. Plus, you will get excellent service because contractors won’t be as busy.
