Why a winter renovation could be your best decision
Whilst most people choose to renovate their homes during the warm summer months, surprisingly, a considerable number take the opportunity of doing so in winter.
A summer renovation means you’ll be less likely to suffer from bad weather. But there are benefits to a winter renovation too. Let’s take a look.
Easier booking and faster completion
Compared to the summer period builders and renovation companies are not as busy during winter, meaning they are more readily available to complete a project in a shorter time.
All of the necessary trades will have a much lighter workload in their schedules so you are likely to be able to book with your renovator of choice for a more immediate start. This greater capacity means they are more likely to be able to lock in and finish your project in a faster time than if they undertook the project during summer.
Save money
There’s also the financial benefit to booking a renovation during winter. Renovation companies may also offer discounts to ensure they maintain a reasonable pipeline of projects during the quieter months. No company wants to be employing trades to sit around doing nothing, so they may be more than willing to offer discounts and deals to keep them busy.
Holiday timing
If you’re planning a winter getaway to warmer climates in the northern hemisphere, this is also a great chance to kill two birds with one stone and undertake your renovation whilst you’re away.
You’ll be out of the way of your renovators, as well as avoiding the disruption. So, you’ll come back after a relaxing break to a house that’s equally renewed and refreshed.
The storage solution
One of the smartest ways to minimise the impact of a renovation is to move your possessions into storage for the duration. Our friendly staff at your local Wilson Storage will be happy to talk you through the process of selecting the right sized storage unit for your needs. We’ll even lend you a van to help you move your items. And with month-by-month contracts, you’re never locked in for longer than you need to be.
