What time of year is best for a kitchen remodel?

There is no correct answer for the perfect time to remodel, however, there are some factors that you may want to consider when considering a kitchen remodeling project.

1. Have you got an important event coming up that you want the kitchen remodeled for? 

Many families plan home improvement projects around important events, such as the holiday season or family gatherings. It is recommended that you begin your kitchen remodeling project plans 6 months in advance to ensure that the remodel will be completed in time for your event, and so that the work can be completed around your already busy schedule.

2. Do you have children?

If you have young children, you may want to wait until they are a bit older before doing a kitchen renovation. This is because the construction process for most remodeling projects can be disruptive and noisy, which may not be ideal for young children. You may wish to wait until the children are at day care or school as there are tools and materials that could present a safety hazard.

3. Special offer periods

Some companies entice homeowners to undertake a home improvement project to update an outdated space by offering seasonal discounts or deals. Therefore it may be beneficial to wait for one of these good deals before starting your kitchen remodel. For example, you may be able to get a discount if you book your kitchen remodel at the end of the financial year, during a season sale or in the slow season.

4. Consider the weather

When planning your kitchen remodel project, you will need to consider the weather. If you live in an area that experiences extreme weather conditions, it may be best to wait for a time of year when the weather is milder. For example, if you live in an area that gets very hot in summer, you may want to avoid a remodel if you need to replace windows as your air conditioning may not work efficiently. Windows are an important part of a kitchen reno as they provide many benefits including plentiful natural light.

5. Know your remodeling budget

Of course, one of the most important factors to consider when planning a kitchen remodel is your budget. You will need to factor in the cost of the kitchen layout including the kitchen cabinets, kitchen island and new appliances. It is recommended that you speak to a professional kitchen remodeling company for an accurate quote. Another budget consideration that many homeowners do not consider is the cost of either eating takeout or organizing another small kitchen for meal preparation during the remodel.
