Reasons Why Fall is the Perfect Time for Your Home Renovation in Vancouver
September 21, 2023With the arrival of Fall, many homeowners have finished up summer projects around the exterior of their homes and are setting remaining renovations aside for next season. As cooler weather approaches, you might think the window for renovations has passed, but here at Dreamville Homes, we recommend you don’t pack away the tools just yet! Here are a few reasons why Fall is a great season for a home renovation in Vancouver.
Mild Weather
While summer may be the ideal time for certain projects like exterior painting or replacing gutters, it can also be incredibly hot. Conducting renovations in the heat of summer can be taxing for all involved. It can also pose unique challenges for renovations involving substances that need to be set at a certain temperature over a certain amount of time (think concrete or epoxy). Fall presents homeowners and their renovation contractors with an opportunity to complete projects when the weather is much milder without the threat of excessive rain or snow. This is particularly helpful if you are planning a condo renovation in Vancouver in a building without sufficient air conditioning.
In Metro Vancouver, Fall can be a real sweet spot for getting things done around the house at a reasonable temperature for everyone. Before the leaves pile up and we start to transition into colder wetter days, is a great time to assess and carry out any renovations that are necessary before winter’s extreme conditions bare down on us. It’s also still possible to tackle exterior projects that may even help your home better withstand winter weather like replacing your siding or installing updated windows.
Prepare for the Holidays
Around the Lower Mainland, we have an abundance of culturally diverse celebrations carried out throughout the winter season. Holidays abound when the cold weather rolls in and we find ourselves surrounded by family and friends as we celebrate the closing of the year. If you have projects in mind to make the holiday season more manageable and enjoyable, perhaps a guest bedroom installation or a kitchen upgrade, then Fall is the perfect time for a condo renovation in Vancouver. Holidays can be hectic, but bringing in a professional contractor like our experienced Dreamville team can help you visualize ways to make your homework for you this Winter. Whether that means the open floor plan you’ve always dreamed of or a place to host out-of-town guests, scheduling your home renovation in Vancouver ahead of the holidays is the perfect early gift for yourself and a wonderful way to wow your visitors this festive season.
Simple Scheduling
Summer is hands down the busiest season for most renovation contractors. It can be difficult to schedule a project on short notice during the high season months of May to August. As things settle toward September and families return to their usual routines, construction projects start to quiet down, and contractors’ schedules open. This is a great time to schedule your long-awaited renovation with our experienced and creative crew. Moreover, with kids back in school and parents back to work, many families find it easier to bring in contractors to work in their homes without so much foot traffic in the way.
As you look forward to picking pumpkins and settling in to watch the leaves drift down, don’t forget to reach out to our expert renovation team at Dreamville Homes to discuss your vision for your condo renovation in Vancouver this Fall.
