Some might think that home renovations in Calgary are typically done in the spring and summertime. Albertans know, all-too-well, just how little warm weather we experience making it challenging to squeeze every home renovation project into such a small timeframe. That leaves many Albertans wondering if renovation projects can be tackled in the winter months.
Fortunately, the answer is yes! Let’s take a look at some of the reasons why completing home renovations in Calgary during the winter can be advantageous.
H2: Benefits of Winter Renovations in Calgary
Lower Demand & Great Sales
Since the spring & summer months are peak times for home renovations in Calgary, it can be more expensive to secure materials, especially at competitive prices. By renovating through the winter you’re avoiding the seasonal rush on many popular building materials. You’re also able to take advantage of great sales during Black Friday, Boxing Day, and end-of-year sales by large manufacturers and distributors, making the furnishing process more affordable.
More In Touch With Our Homes
Naturally, we’re also spending more time indoors during the winter months. This can give us a better sense of what’s working well in our home, as well as what pinch points or design flaws have us dreaming of a new space. This makes it a great time to start in the planning phase of your renovation so you’re ready to go out the gate in springtime, rather than just beginning. Depending on the scale of your renovation, the design and selections phase can be lengthy, making now the perfect time to get started!
Renovate While You Vacation
The winter months might also be a great time to schedule your home renovations in Calgary if you head south to escape the cold. Most renovations can be completed whilst you live at home, but for more extensive projects you might be more comfortable elsewhere. Renovating during your snow-bird months can be a great way to avoid displacement, and, make coming home that much sweeter. Can’t head south? No worries, Ultimate Renovations even has homes you can stay in while they renovate yours.
A Time of Reflection & Predictions
During the winter months we also see a recap of highlights from the current year, and, a host of new ideas in the renovation and design industry with predictions for new trends, colours, and furnishings in the year ahead. This makes it a great time to execute on proven concepts and stay ahead of the game by capitalizing on the latest and greatest styles.
Minimize Disruption to Your Family
Last but not least, if you have kids, renovating during the winter months can be much easier than in the summer when they’re off school and constantly looking to be entertained. Minimize disruption to their routine, and keep fewer balls in the air at once by tackling your renovation in winter.
