You’ll want to consider several things before moving forward with a kitchen remodel. While the excitement of what your new space will look like may cause you to spend your weekends eyeing cabinetry colors, flooring samples, and shiny appliances, it’s best to start slow and be strategic, especially if you want to save money. Keep reading to discover 3 important factors that can help you get more bang for your buck when looking to transform your kitchen.
Consider the Weather
The weather can play a significant role in your kitchen remodel and how much you can expect it to cost. If the majority of the work is to be completed indoors, you may find that winter is an ideal time to start this kind of project. Why? There are a few reasons:
- Contractors are likely to have greater availability during the colder months
- The cost of hiring a contractor may be cheaper because of their availability
- It’s more attractive for contractors and workers to perform work indoors as opposed to being outside in the cold winter chill
You will need to make sure, however, that if you start your kitchen remodel during the wintertime, you’ll need to have ample dry space to store any pieces that will become part of your new space.
Pay Attention to Seasonal Discounts
If you want to save some money, wait until some of your favorite home improvement stores are offering special discounts on supplies that might be helpful for a kitchen remodel.
Spring can be an ideal time to find deals on appliances and other similar products; however, it can also be difficult trying to secure a contractor, as most people are starting their annual “spring cleaning” and home improvement projects this time of year.
Even if you can’t get started right away, taking advantage of some of the discounts available in stores can help you save more money in the long run.
Fall Renovations Can Be a Great Time to Save
There’s nothing better than having a fully refreshed, new and improved kitchen to show off to friends and family over the holidays. However, to get to this point, you’ll need to start early in the fall.
While you may not find that the savings are as spectacular as they are in the spring, you can still get some great deals on appliances, furniture, and other supplies. Many home improvement stores and retailers are preparing to move old stock out in preparation for new inventory at the start of the year. This means you can save some of your hard-earned dollars on different components you’ll need to make your kitchen look its best.
Also, hiring a contractor may be easier and slightly cheaper this time of year, as many homeowners are often too busy with back-to-school and holiday preparations to start this kind of project.
It’s worth it to do your research to determine the best time of year to start your kitchen remodel. Not only will you appreciate the level of savings but also the beautiful results you’ll achieve.
