The holidays are a whirlwind of activity. Decorating, shopping, cooking, entertaining… it’s a wonder we have any energy left by the time the new year rolls around! But amidst the festivities, you might have noticed a few things about your home that could use some attention. Maybe the kitchen feels cramped when hosting family dinners, or the bathroom is begging for an update. If you’re dreaming of a home refresh, consider this: starting your remodeling project after the holidays could be a savvy move.

Here at Apex Homeworks, we see a surge in remodeling projects in the new year, and for good reason. Here are ten compelling reasons why post-holiday is the prime time to transform your Michigan home:

1. Contractor Availability: The holidays are often a busy time for contractors, with many projects wrapping up before the year’s end. Once the dust settles, contractors often experience a lull, meaning they may have more availability to take on your project. This can translate to faster scheduling, quicker project starts, and potentially even faster completion times.

2. Post-Holiday Sales: Retailers know that homeowners are often looking to spruce up their spaces after the holidays. To entice buyers, many offer discounts on home improvement materials, appliances, and fixtures in January and February. This is a fantastic opportunity to snag deals on everything from flooring and countertops to cabinets and lighting.

3. Refreshed Perspective: The holidays often involve hosting guests and spending more time at home. This can give you a fresh perspective on your living space. You might notice areas that feel cramped, outdated, or simply not functional for your needs. This renewed awareness can help you prioritize your remodeling goals and create a home that truly suits your lifestyle.

4. New Year, New Home: The new year is a time for fresh starts and new beginnings. Starting a home remodeling project can be a symbolic way to kick off the year and create a more comfortable, functional, and enjoyable living space.

5. Avoid Holiday Stress: Let’s face it, the holidays are stressful enough without adding a major remodeling project to the mix. Undertaking a renovation during the holidays can add unnecessary pressure and disrupt your celebrations. Waiting until after the holidays allows you to focus on your project without the added burden of holiday preparations and gatherings.

6. Milder Michigan Winters (Sometimes!): While Michigan winters can be unpredictable, January and February sometimes offer milder weather compared to the harsh conditions of December. This can be advantageous for certain types of remodeling projects, especially those involving exterior work like roofing, siding, or painting.

7. Time for Planning: The period after the holidays can provide a valuable opportunity to thoroughly plan your project. You can take your time researching contractors, comparing quotes, and selecting materials without feeling rushed. This thoughtful planning can help ensure a smoother and more successful remodeling experience.

8. Motivation and Energy: The new year often brings renewed motivation and energy. This can be a great time to tackle those home improvement projects you’ve been putting off. With the holidays behind you, you can channel your energy into creating the home of your dreams.

9. Tax Refunds: For some homeowners, receiving a tax refund in the new year can provide extra funds to invest in home remodeling projects. This unexpected financial boost can help you get your project off the ground or even allow you to tackle a larger-scale renovation.

10. Enjoy Your Home More: By tackling those remodeling projects after the holidays, you can create a more comfortable, functional, and enjoyable living space to enjoy throughout the year. Whether it’s a cozy updated kitchen, a spa-like bathroom, or a finished basement for family fun, your remodeled space will enhance your everyday life.
