Why Summer is the Best Time For Remodels

Summer in Bend just might be our favorite season! With beautiful mountains, rivers, and sunshine, it’s the perfect place to enjoy the warmer months. Not only is summertime the best for relaxing and spending time outdoors as much as possible, but it’s also a great time to tackle any home improvement projects you put off during the cold and snowy winter. This includes home renovations and remodels. Keep on reading to learn why.

The weather is better

Having consistently good weather can help speed up the time it takes to work on exterior projects like painting or deck repair, cement paving, or window replacement. It’s also a great time to work on landscaping or backyard design. Another perk of the nicer weather is that it’s more predictable and you won’t have to worry as much about delays.

Longer days

More daylight allows for more time to work on projects! Getting up early before the heat sets in and taking advantage of the longer evenings are huge perks of renovating during the summer. The more hands on deck, the faster your projects will be completed and you’ll be able to start checking things off your list. 

Better ventilation

Because you won’t be worried about rainy or cold weather, keeping your windows open can provide easier ventilation for indoor projects that give off fumes or need drying. You’ll also have less stress about disturbing your neighbors with sound as most of them will have their windows closed in an attempt to keep the cool air in their homes.

Easier scheduling

As most people schedule travel and vacations during the summer months, contractors often have more flexibility and availability in their schedules. This allows us to take on new projects, making summer the best time to get on their calendars. 

Move activities outside

If you’re remodeling your kitchen, summer is the perfect excuse to cook and grill outside. Improving your home office? Try working from a patio or from your own deck. Summer weather is meant to be enjoyed so if there are rooms in your home that are temporarily inaccessible, move activities outside.

Trust the professionals

If you’re getting professional help with your home projects, plan a fun vacation to take while workers are busy in your home. This is the perfect time to leave it to the professionals and enjoy some relaxation outside of your own home. We provide quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer service while maintaining the highest level of dependability and professionalism in the relationships we cultivate with our clients, vendors, and employees. You can trust that we will get your project done efficiently and accurately.

Increase your home value

Renovating the exterior of your home during the summer can help show it off with a higher value if selling your home is on the horizon. Consider tackling landscaping projects, patios, or decks to catch potential buyers’ eyes. More people are out and about during the summer, making it more likely that they will notice your home. Plus, with so many people moving to Bend, you’ll want to stand out among other houses on the market.

Improved comfort

Plan for comfort. While you’re working on home improvement projects during the summer, consider improving your insulation or heating and cooling systems to keep you and your family comfortable throughout the entire year. This can also help you save money on energy bills. This is a great way to stay ahead of the curve!

Our team has multiple decades of knowledge and hands-on experience that we put to work for our valued clients in order to help make their dreams a reality. There is no job too large or too small. In addition, we find it very important to have long-term relationships with our clients, providing exceptional services they can count on year after year.
