Chase Away the Winter Doldrums by Planning Your Spring Remodel

BOWA’s experts weigh in on the benefits of planning your remodel now in time for warmer months ahead

Winter is an ideal time to consider future plans for your home and lay the groundwork for renovations that can transform your property. Whether you want to refresh the interior, increase the size of your home, add new functionality, or maximize your outdoor space for the warm weather, thoughtful planning during the colder months ensures your spring remodel will be smooth and successful.

As you dream about warmer weather, consider how your home could better suit you during the spring and summer months. Could your kitchen use more windows to maximize natural lighting? Do you want to enjoy your morning coffee and newspaper in an outdoor space? Or maybe you’ve been wanting to revamp your bedroom and bathroom layouts to give you more space and better lighting.

Winter also offers an opportunity to evaluate your home and identify areas for improvement. Are there structural concerns or maintenance issues that need to be addressed? Taking the time to assess your property with a professional team can identify challenges early and integrate solutions seamlessly into your renovation plan. For instance, if you want to add a new room or expand a basement, winter is a good time to speak with experts to determine whether and/or how your current structure can support these types of large scale changes. 

For an outdoor spring remodel, winter planning is especially advantageous. While your pool area, patio, or garden may be dormant during colder months, this downtime allows for detailed design discussions and coordination. Whether you’re envisioning an elevated poolside retreat, a new firepit, or a covered outdoor dining area, starting the design process in the winter could allow for enjoying these spaces when spring and summer come.

Another benefit of winter planning for your spring remodel is securing your spot in a contractor’s schedule. Spring is often a busy season for remodelers, and by starting the conversation early, you’ll have a better chance of locking in timelines that work for you. Early planning also allows your team the time to gather all necessary information, obtain permits, and create a roadmap that fits your needs and timeline.

We encourage clients to reach out early to get expert insights and guidance from the very beginning of a project. The earlier you involve your remodeler, the better they can tailor a plan that anticipates your home’s unique demands and prevents delays. Whether it’s a comprehensive remodel or reimagined kitchen layout, bringing in your team upfront gives you access to their expertise and ensures the most efficient process so you can enjoy your spring remodel when the warmer weather arrives.

The winter months are the perfect time to set your spring remodel in motion. With careful planning, early decision-making, and the support of experienced professionals, you can ensure a successful transformation that brings your vision to life. Start the conversation now to turn your dreams into reality!
