Spring and fall are the traditional seasons for kitchen remodeling work, but there are at least three good reasons to consider having a kitchen project done in summer.
1. Enjoy More Time Outdoors
You do more cooking and entertaining outside in the summer, and warm weather activities lead to more dining away from home. The interruption from the work is easier to deal with when you can cook over a grill and open windows and doors to ventilate any dust stirred up from the team busy in your kitchen.
In the summer some members of the family may be off at camp, sports events or the golf course, so there is even less opportunity for disruption. Any inconvenience is easier to handle during summer, where in other seasons small things like a van parked in the driveway or the noise of power tools can build into a major issue.
2. Get the Best Team All Year Long
Many contractors who do not specialize in kitchen work want to schedule your remodel for the spring or fall, which is the traditional time for interior work when they’re not busy with larger outdoor framing and construction jobs. But spring and fall may not be the time when they have the best people available, or when they can always get what they need in supplies and materials. Of course, a kitchen specialist like Kitchen Magic will always have the best staff available all year.
See Samples in the Strong Summer Sunlight
You can view cabinet, door, and countertop samples in the strong natural light of your own kitchen, not in the artificial light of a home center showroom. A contractor specializing in kitchens will bring samples to your home and show them to you right in your current kitchen, but the muted light of a winter day may lead you to choose something that looks quite different when bright sunlight is streaming through the window.In summer you clearly see how everything looks in the brightest conditions, and you can cover the windows to see it exactly as it will appear in later months. Most people are likely to have more free time during summer to watch the work going on and to make any decisions or changes on the spot.
A kitchen remodel is a serious project that makes your home more pleasant and adds to its resale value. You want to stack the deck in your favor. Consider a summer remodeling.
