The weather is better. The cooler months will offer you and your contractor better weather now that the scorching heat of summer is behind you. You could save money on electricity by not having to use your air conditioner to cool the house.

Nobody’s home. Contractors will have more free time now that school has started again. They won’t be distracted or hampered by so many people. Vacations are also popular in the fall and winter. Contractors can get more done per day in the winter than they could in the summer.

You can take it at your own pace. You might have fewer people in your house, but the sunlight hours are also fewer. You can also space out the renovations to allow your contractor time to work on your project. This will give him a chance to pay more attention to details.

Concentrate on the interior. Renovations to your bathroom or kitchen can increase the value of your house. The kitchen is where people spend most of their time, and they care if the bathroom is clean and up-to-date. These two areas are what buyers want to see. The colder weather allows you to concentrate on these two spaces rather than worrying about the exterior.

Spend less money. Contractors are less busy in the fall and winter. They may offer discounts for their services because they are in need of work. You can also save money by using cheaper materials during the off-season. Renovations in the fall are a great way to save money.

• Lumber and construction materials are cheaper.
• Home Improvement Stores offer discounts on a variety of remodeling projects in the off-season.
• The homeowner can negotiate better remodeling rates with the builder when there is less demand.
• To save money, you can buy items at reduced rates to use during slow seasons.
• You are less likely to make mistakes that could cost you more money in labor or materials.
• Contractors prefer to do indoor remodeling during the winter months as opposed to outdoor renovations and remodels.

It is possible to receive a tax deduction or rebate for some energy-efficient upgrades that are part of your remodeling project.

Impress your guests during the holidays. A new entertaining space can leave a lasting impression as the holidays approach. Everyone wants to impress their friends and family when they invite them into their home. A “big reveal” can be a great way to add some sparkle during the holiday season.
