When is the best time to remodel

Remodeling is very much like investing in the stock market....most of us do it at the wrong time.  We wait; we wait until something minor becomes major and we're forced to accept a price that could have been avoided.

Take roof replacement as a very good example.  Your roof is 25 or 30 years old, you've had repairs done in the past and you HOPE it will make it through the next Spring.  But, the heavy rains come and you get a leak.  This time not a small one, but one that now  rushes in ...damages your ceiling.  You call one roofing company after another and find out it will be weeks before they can even look at it, in the mean time it rains some more.  You finally get an estimate or two and you are staggered by the cost.

You could have save all those head aches and gotten your roof replaced for probably thousands less in December or January...this is the slow season for roofers and they want to keep crews busy and will make deals...you save money.

Interior remodeling, say a new kitchen...buy it in December and have it installed in January or February.  Everyone's thinking about the gift giving season and December is the Kitchen and Bath industries slowest month.  Again, you will get your best deal by helping the remodeler fill his back log.  You may even give that special someone the absolute perfect gift for the holidays.

So don't "buy high and sell low" like so many of us do with our stocks...invest in your property now, increase it's value and give yourself the comfort of knowing you are getting the most for your buck.
