Best Construction Projects to Tackle when it’s Cold

Contrary to popular belief, winter is a great time to get some home construction projects checked off of your list. Many contractors are more available in the winter months and have more time to invest into your project. Check out our top 3 picks to tackle when the snow starts to fly – which it actually did today!

Insulate your attic - When the temperatures start to take a dive into the single digits, insulating issues can really impact the temperature in your home, as well as, your utility bills. Not only does insulation help with your overall indoor comfort, it also mitigates the effects of condensation, preventing water vapor from seeping in and eroding your walls. The best part? Insulation can easily be done in the winter months.

Basement Remodel – While we’re talking about energy efficiency, let’s talk about basement remodels. Besides adding more livable space, which ultimately increases your home value, basement remodels also include insulating and waterproofing the walls, thus improving upon the energy efficiency of your home. Transform your basement into a living area, family room, playroom, office, gym, bedrooms or even a home theater. Basement remodels can be very affordable and winter is a great time to get started!

Kitchen Remodel – Being without a kitchen for any amount of time can be a little on the stressful side, however, doing a kitchen remodel during the winter months can be very beneficial long term. Kitchen remodels are all about improving the look of your kitchen, as well as, improving its functionality. A good kitchen remodel will accomplish both of these. If done right, it should also increase your home’s value. Adding new appliances to the project is also a great way to save even more on your energy bills.
