When we think of home construction and remodeling projects, we tend to picture warm, sunny days, and in truth, the majority of home construction and remodeling projects do take place during the spring and summer months. However, scheduling your Chicago home remodeling projects during the winter months can have its advantages. It may be cold outside, and daylight may be at a premium, but we think the following reasons will warm you up to the idea of winter home remodeling projects.
Chicago Home Remodeling Costs
Certainly the most attractive incentive is saving money. During the winter months, when business is slow, many contractors are offering specials, and discounted rates on Chicago home remodeling projects. It’s a supply and demand economy, and like all markets, when demand is down, supply is high, costs are dropping. Hire a contractor to complete a remodeling project for you this winter, and we think you might find yourself negotiating a pretty amazing deal.
Material Costs
Again, supply and demand is helping us save some bucks. With home construction and home remodeling projects tapering off in the winter months, naturally the demand for materials will be dropping. Everything from flooring, faucets, and fixtures to construction supplies to major appliances can be had a discount. Additional discounts offered around the holidays, and inventory overstock sales often seen during the notoriously slow winter retail season, can really help you save dramatically on material costs.
Scheduling
When contractors are in the middle of the slow season, naturally their availability opens up. You’ll have more flexibility with scheduling, making it far easier to accommodate your work and home schedules.
Quality Work
With less projects occupying their time, your project will be front and center with the contractor you hire. You’ll have the opportunity to spend more time with them one-on-one, and they’ll be more accessible to you over the course of the project. It’s also quite likely that due to increased availability, your Chicago home remodeling project will be completed on a faster timeline.
Ready for Spring
Why not spend the warm days relaxing in the sun? When you take on home remodeling projects during the winter months, and have them out of the way, you’ll have the long spring and summer days to enjoy the home improvements and new spaces you have created.
