FAQ: When is the Right Time to Remodel?

Somehow the calendar has turned over again and you have lived another precious year in your cozy home. The year was full of accomplishments, disappointments, and promises that you would once and for all start sprucing up the place. Seasons change, but one thing always remains: the remodeling process gets pushed away.

You always say that you will remodel your kitchen or renovate your home’s exterior, but you can never find the “right” time to get started. It is no question that the hardest part of any home improvement project is getting started, but when do you know the time has arrived?

You Need To

If you have cabinets that are falling apart or tile that is chipping away, chances are your time for a remodel passed a long while ago. Never fear, this just means that you are ready to jump in now! You and your family spend a lot of time in your home, so invest some energy into making it the best it can possibly be. If you are embarrassed to invite friends over for a game night or barbeque because your house is a warzone, you better get started with remodeling plans this instant.

You Want To

Not every renovation project begins because something is broken, just like how not every new car is purchased just because the old one suffered a wreck. Sometimes, you simply crave change. Whether it is to keep up with the latest minimalistic style, or if you are just feeling like a change of color, the simple desire to make a change in your house is reason enough to get the remodeling process started.

You Can Afford To

Sometimes we want or even need a remodel, but can’t afford one. In these cases, it is in your best interest to make due until your wallet can sustain a renovation investment. However, this doesn’t mean that you should cash in on your 401k or wait ten years to have the house of your dreams. A wise choice when it comes to remodeling is to take the process in steps. Can you afford to just replace your kitchen cabinets? Do that! Are you getting a nice bonus at work next holiday season? Use some of that cash to get your home new windows. Before you know it, these little steps will result in big changes.

It can seem daunting to begin any remodeling process, but find comfort in knowing that the time is right whenever you really need to make a change, want a new look, and can afford the investment. Start to plan your home’s remodel today, and your future self will thank you!
