One of the questions we get a lot here at Watters Plumbing is “when is the best time to remodel my bathroom?” Well, there’s no right or wrong answer here and you’ll probably get a different answer depending on what plumbing professional you ask. If you’re planning a bathroom remodeling project, let’s take a look at a few of the pros and cons of remodeling in each season.
Spring
Pros:
- With the nicer weather, we see fewer project delays due to snow, ice, and the holiday season.
- You may have extra wiggle room in the budget thanks to tax returns, gifts, and holiday bonuses. What better way to spend it than on a beautiful new bathroom?
Cons:
- The busy season is starting to pick up for remodelers and contractors, so a company’s availability may be more limited.
Summer
Pros
- Kids are home from school, which means family schedules are often less hectic. Less running and commitments may indicate that it’s a good time to tackle a bathroom remodeling project.
Cons
- Since kids are off of school, you’ll have to occupy them while construction is going on and work around any summer activities, jobs, etc.
- Bathroom remodels can delay summer vacation plans due to scheduling and finances.
- You may prefer to spend your time and money on outdoor home projects before the winter snow hits.
Fall
Pros
- Mild temperatures make for good working and travel conditions for the crew, which means minimal project delays due to weather conditions.
- Generally, fall is somewhat of a pre-hibernation period, so it’s a great time to make your home feel cozier before the winter months.
Cons
- Everyone is in a rush to finish projects before the holiday season, which can cause delays and stress. Backordered products and scheduling issues can be more common this time of year.
Winter
Pros
- A new bathroom is a great mood booster during the dreary Wisconsin winter months.
- Business can be slower for plumbing companies and contractors, so you may get more one-on-one attention and more competitive pricing.
- New trends and design ideas are popping up to give you plenty of bathroom remodeling inspiration.
Cons
- Bad weather, road conditions, and winter plumbing issues can lead to project delays.
- Though most plumbing professionals are conscientious and respectful, you still have to deal with snow and salt tracked into your home.
- Your budget may be limited due to parties, presents, and other holiday expenses.
- You may be overly booked with stressful end-of-year work deadlines and holiday obligations.
