Les avantages de la rénovation de votre maison l’hiver
The home improvement world revolves around two seasons: spring and summer. After being confined for the winter, we’re craving a change. It’s true that spring brings a wave of renewal, inspiring people to tackle projects for their homes. However, what we don’t always realize is that there are even better times for major renovation projects. You can get exceptional service and experience by choosing the right time.
The Benefits of Doing Your Home Renovations in Winter
Planning
For a renovation project to be successful, it must be well planned. The best time to start planning is in the fall and early winter, when summer construction slows down. There’s no rush and you can take the time to make careful choices to avoid mistakes.
Choosing Materials
In winter, the construction world is quieter, and finishing material stores take advantage of this opportunity to hold big sales. It’s the perfect time to save money or treat yourself to items you didn’t think you could afford.
Enjoying Summer
Undertaking a renovation project in the summer means saying goodbye to evenings spent outdoors. You’ll have to wait until next year to enjoy your yard. During the winter, the children are in school and the routine is well established, which makes the work less disruptive for the whole family.
Renovation Contractors
Delivery times are also shorter, meaning special-order materials can arrive in 6 weeks instead of 8 or more.
Renovation Permits
In Montreal, the summer rush is felt when it comes to permits. In summer, a permit can take 30 business days to be delivered. In winter, it can only take a few days! It’s also easier to talk to an urban planning officer. That’s one less hassle for the renovation project.
Construction Delays
In the summer, contractors have to juggle a multitude of projects, so an emergency can cause a snowball effect. In winter, the workload is lighter. They can more easily manage unforeseen events and, in some cases, can even complete the project ahead of schedule. The renovation experience is therefore more than positive.
