Why May Is the Perfect Time to Get Started
May isn’t just the gateway to summer – it’s also one of the smartest times to start planning your next home remodel. Whether you’re dreaming of a more functional kitchen or a refreshed bathroom, beginning the process now means you’ll be ahead of the game before peak remodeling season hits.
Let’s look at why planning your kitchen or bathroom remodel in May sets you up for success – and a smoother experience overall.
1. Summer Schedules Are More Flexible
One of the biggest advantages of remodeling during the summer is flexibility.
School is winding down, families are taking vacations, and routines shift. All of this gives you more room – literally and logistically – to take on a home project without disrupting daily life.
Don’t need your kitchen every night for school lunches or busy weeknight dinners? That’s a window of opportunity.
2. More Comfortable Construction Conditions
Summer construction comes with natural benefits:
- Open Windows = better ventilation for paints and adhesives
- Outdoor cooking = easy workaround when the kitchen is under construction
- Longer daylight hours = more efficient build days for crews
All of these things make summer remodeling smoother for both homeowners and professionals.
3. You’ll Be Done Before the Holiday Rush
Starting your remodel in late spring or early summer means you can likely wrap up before fall.
No one wants a bathroom demo or missing countertops when guests are arriving for Thanksgiving.
Plan now, and you’ll enter the fall season with one less thing to worry about – and more time to actually enjoy your upgraded space.
4. Better Access to Materials and Scheduling
Contractors book up quickly for late summer and fall jobs. Starting your design and planning process in May gives you more control over scheduling – and more choice when it comes to materials and finishes.
Many lead times on cabinets, vanities, and tile can stretch 6-12 weeks. Get ahead of the rush now, and avoid costly delays later.
5. It All Starts with a Smart Plan
A successful remodel doesn’t begin with demolition—it starts with a plan.
