Ah… the smell of spring flowers popping up from their winter runoff nourishment pales in comparison to the smell of a home remodel! We might be biased, but we definitely love the smell of spring in Colorado, too. It’s also the perfect time to begin planning your very own home remodeling project. So, grab a cup of coffee, snuggle up in your favorite comfy chair and dive into planning mode!
First up, let’s talk about timelines. The reason spring is a great time to start planning your home remodeling project is that it allows you to have enough time (3-6 months) to prepare for your remodel. Back in 2021, we did a blog on realistic construction timelines so our clients could understand the impact COVID has made on our industry. Much of this blog remains true this year. Timelines are still impacted by the availability of building materials, supply chain issues (especially for appliances), and the backlog of building permits by local municipalities. While timelines may be stretched, it’s still the perfect time to remodel your home.
Next, let’s address budgets. Oftentimes what you see on TV is not entirely accurate, particularly when it comes to the cost of a home remodel. Understanding the financial commitment upfront will save you in the end. Whether you support your home remodel through savings or through financing, our Ken Caryl community is lucky to have a local credit union, Colorado Credit Union, right in our neighborhood. If you’re interested in financing your home remodel and would like to talk to an expert, please visit our “Financing Your Home Remodel” blog to begin your journey. With that, it’s always smart to maintain a buffer in your budget for the unexpected. Once demolition begins and walls are opened up, some issues can arise. Another thing to be aware of is your ideas and what you want may shift during the progress of your remodel. Perhaps you were intending laminate countertops at first, but as your remodel progressed you changed your mind to granite. Having a buffer will allow for both the unexpected and any upgrades you desire.
Finally, who doesn’t love spring, especially in Colorado? It’s the perfect time to meet with us to begin your pre-construction services and discuss all things design and inspiration.
