Winter home improvement ideas

It might seem like the best time to remodel is in the summer, but there are plenty of ways to start sprucing up your home before warm weather hits. Winter weather usually means less activity, which can mean more availability from contractors and faster inspection and permit turnaround. From finishing your basement to adding on a deck, here are a few home improvements that are perfect to tackle during the colder months.

1. Build a deck

You should be relaxing on your deck during the spring and summer, not inside waiting for it to be built. It’s common to think that outdoor projects, like backyard work, can only be done when it’s warm out, but the lack of humidity in the winter helps wood dry and stabilize more evenly. By tackling this at the end of winter, your deck will be ready and waiting by the time the sun comes back out.


2. Finish your basement

If you can’t warm up what’s outside your home, work on making the inside cozy instead. Finishing or updating your basement is a perfect way to make staying inside for the winter a little more enjoyable. From hosting parties to movie nights, a finished basement is something the whole family can enjoy, especially when it’s too cold to go outside.

3. Give your bathroom a face lift

If your bathroom is desperately needing a new look, this is the perfect project to take off your to-do list before it gets warm. Updating flooring, lighting or your vanity are easy ways to make updates that don’t totally disrupt your home when you’re stuck indoors.

Don’t let the cold weather stop you from getting a jump start on your home renovations. If you’ve been considering giving your home a makeover, call a professional to see what you can conquer before springtime hits.
