If you have been considering a kitchen remodel, summer is the best time to get started. Remodeling your kitchen can transform the appearance of your home, give you an open concept floorplan and make entertaining more delightful. We can incorporate every fun, practical and glamorous feature that you can think of while adding in beautiful countertops and high-end appliances. There is nothing too extravagant when creating your remodeling plan.
The reason that we encourage people to remodel their kitchen during the summer is all about practicality. While we do a thorough job and are conscientious about the noise and mess, there is no way to prevent a disruption to your home and your family life. The kitchen is a room that is used so frequently that not having daily access to it poses challenges. During the summer months, there are ways to get around this. For example, many of our clients will plan their kitchen remodel to start right before they go on their family vacation. This way, when they come back, the remodel is either done or close to it. While you are dining out or visiting grandma, we can work on replacing your floors, cabinets, appliances, etc.
Another benefit of a summertime kitchen remodel is that you can cook outdoors. This is the season where most people are grilling on the barbecue anyway. If you are grilling one or two days a week, you might want to use this time to buy a smoker or look up new recipes so that you can continue to cook outdoors for the duration of your remodeling project. Sure, you may need to eat cereal for breakfast and sandwiches for lunch but at night, you can pull out the grill, throw on your favorite meat and veggies and have a delicious meal without the need for your kitchen. This is opposed to a winter remodel where you may become highly reliant on your microwave. Thanks to the grill, most homeowners we work with, find that a remodel is less disruptive than they initially thought it would be.
If your kitchen remodel involves an extension, there is the added benefit of being less worried about inclement weather when the roof or walls are exposed. Our crew can get more work done since the weather is nicer, and we will not be as concerned with the potential for a rain delay. Additionally, the summer means that we have more light to work with. This is helpful when completing an extension because natural light is essential for laying the new foundation, putting up new walls and a new roof. It even helps our electricians to be able to work longer. The summer months provide us with the opportunity to finish a remodeling project faster so that you can get your kitchen and home back.
Regardless of when you decide to start your kitchen remodel, we will ensure that it is a positive experience for you. However, if you are looking for the least amount of disruption, we encourage you to start today.
