Do you have a basement remodeling project that you have been putting off for years?

What would you like to do with that basement? Create a home theater? Build a play room for the kids? Make the space into your own personal sports bar? No matter what you have in mind, winter is a great time to get started.

You might not think of winter as the right time for basement remodeling and other home projects, but when you look at the benefits, you’ll see there is no better season for restorations, especially in the basement…

Contractors Are More Likely to Be Available
Finding a contractor during theBUSY construction season of spring and summer can be difficult. High-quality crews are often booked from the moment that ground thaws (or sooner) through the end of fall. During the winter, however, you are more likely to find a contractor who can help on a short notice. Also, because the contractor’s staff isn’t tied up with other priorities, you may be able to get a larger project completed in a shorter timeframe.

Get Your Permit and Inspections Quicker
Depending on the nature of your basement remodeling project, you may need to get a permit before a contractor can get started; you may also need to have an inspector look at the project during different phases. Like contractors, the permit and inspection offices have more availability in winter, meaning you can get started much sooner and wrap things up swiftly.

Perfect Time to Work Inside
When the weather is warm and inviting, it seems like a waste of time to be inside. However, when the winter winds are blowing and snow is piling up, it just makes sense to be inside. The same goes for your remodeling projects. You can’t work on landscaping, roofing, or a new patio during a blizzard, so you might as well use this time for interior improvements, including basement remodeling.

Custom Materials Available
Do you love custom molding, cabinets, tiles, or countertops? Have you ever tried to order custom materials during the height of construction season? If you have, you know that the best manufacturers have a long waiting list. Get a jump start by ordering custom materials for your basement in the winter.

Avoid Spring Price Jumps
It’s pretty simple: if demand goes up, prices go up too. Construction materials are fairly consistent in pricing, but they will fluctuate as demand comes and goes. Therefore, it is more affordable to purchase materials in the winter, when the demand for sheetrock, carpet, lumber, and other products is low.

Working On an Area You Wouldn’t Use During Holidays
It might seem like a great idea to start renovations on your bathroom and kitchen during the winter, but if you are planning holiday get-togethers, you’re going to need those rooms. An unfinished basement, however, won’t be used, whether it’s being renovated or not. It’s just another reason why the winter is the perfect time for renovating your basement.
