During winter, when the weather is quite cold. This is the reason it has always been a season where most activities are reduced. People slow down and spend a lot of time resting. Most people think summer is the best time for home remodeling projects because obviously there are more hours of daylight and the weather is less severe. The good news is that there is one project that is easily possible during winter, and that is basement finishing.
As most of the basement finishing happens indoors, outdoor weather is not a big concern. In fact, if you are planning to remodel your basement, winter may simply be the best time to start. Here are some reasons why you should consider scheduling your basement finishing during the winter season:
Greater Contractor Availability
It’s a mistaken belief that spring and summer are best for renovation. Spring and summer are busy seasons for home improvement contractors. The odds are high that expert contractors who aren’t available during these months are usually available during the winter season.
Although as far as exterior work is concerned, it is generally better to get it done during summer, a lot of interior remodeling work can easily be done during the colder months. Whether it’s basement finishing or room addition, wintertime can be perfect to get things started.
Discounts on materials
During peak busy months, the majority of manufacturers raise prices on all the important remodeling materials like windows, cabinetry, lumber and other materials needed for construction. Getting your basement finishing done during slower winter months allows you to purchase all the key basement renovation materials at the lowest prices of the year. Besides that, many home décor items including furniture are on sale during holidays. This will eventually help you get things done at a lower price tag and let you upgrade some of the amenities for your basement.
Faster permits and inspections
As mentioned above, warmer months are way too busy for construction projects. During winter season, your project will reach the right authorities on time as the staff has more time available to review and approve it. So, the shortened wait time will let you start your project quickly.
A cool finished basement for spring and summer
When you do the entire basement finishing in winter, you have a fresh new living space all set to welcome you during warmer months. When outside temperatures are going all crazy, you will definitely appreciate a cool space in your home.
More convenient scheduling
Working during winter is much more effortless, especially if the project involves work like flooring, painting, and lighting. When renovators are not juggling between multiple projects, the odds of getting the project done on time are high.
