When is the right time to start your renovation? At The Place for Kitchens and Baths, we hear this question often—and the answer might surprise you. In South Florida, our unique climate creates opportunities for home updates year-round. The best time to renovate depends not just on the weather, but on your lifestyle, goals, and schedule.
Summer: Get Away While the Work Gets Done
Planning a summer escape? Why not return to a completely transformed space? Summer is an ideal time to renovate your kitchen or bath—especially if you’re traveling. While you’re off enjoying a vacation, your space can be undergoing a major makeover: new cabinets, fresh flooring, sparkling countertops—everything clean and showroom-ready when you return.
Fall: Cooler Temps, Greater Availability
As our seasonal residents return and the heat starts to ease up, fall becomes an ideal window for renovation. Contractor availability typically increases between the summer rush and the winter holidays, making it a smart time to begin projects. This is especially great if you prefer to be hands-on and involved during the process. However, the downside for condo residents is there are restrictions between October and May for when renovations can take place. Be sure to check with your community’s HOA for specific guidelines and local laws before planning.
Winter: A Season of Transformation
Winter offers the best working temperatures for renovations, but it’s also one of the busiest seasons. If you’re planning a winter renovation, book early! While holiday festivities may be impacted, what better gift to yourself than a beautifully transformed kitchen or bathroom?
Spring: Peak Time for Exteriors and Efficiency
Spring in South Florida is cooler, drier, and often one of our busiest seasons. It’s the perfect time to tackle exterior updates or large-scale remodels that benefit from minimal weather disruptions. If you’re looking to hit the ground running in the new year, this is the season to schedule your project.
So… When Is the Best Time?
Ultimately, the best time to renovate is when it works for you. Whether you want to step away and return to a dream kitchen or be present for every decision, our team at The Place for Kitchens and Baths is here to guide you every step of the way.
