While most indoor home remodeling projects can generally be done at various times throughout the year, homeowners tend to prioritize certain areas in certain seasons. Whether due to convenience, preference or other factors, certain home remodels seem to take place more often in summer while others are more common during the cool season.

At Uintah Fireplace and Design, we’re proud to offer a wide range of home remodeling services throughout the year, from kitchen remodeling to bathrooms, basement finishing and several outdoor areas depending on your needs. As we’re currently in the dead of the Utah winter, let’s look at a few remodeling projects that are often good ideas during this cold season, including some that homeowners prioritize as we begin heading toward spring.

Painting or Wallpaper Upgrades

The winter is a period where we spend more time indoors than outdoors to begin with, so it’s often a great time for those stuck inside to think about new color schemes or upgraded wallpaper in certain home areas. This kind of project can range from minor areas, like a single wall of new paper or paint, up to a major undertaking like re-painting an entire area of the home.

Another area some choose during this period of the year is installing crown molding to finish edges or other wall and cabinet areas. These kinds of aesthetic upgrades are perfect for this time of year.

Lighting Needs

Winter is often a darker time of year, with shorter days and that awful Salt Lake Valley inversion, so many homeowners take this opportunity to lighten things up with some lighting upgrades. This doesn’t even have to be a full-on remodel in every case – you can start by simply picking up replacement bulbs and ensuring all your fixtures are properly lit.

If you so desire, this is also a great time of year for upgrading lighting fixtures, which may be on sale from certain providers. Consider eco-friendly solutions that may lower your energy bill, while you’re at it.

Kitchen Backsplash

If your kitchen has gotten a bit dull, particularly if you plan to host gatherings in the upcoming spring or summer where guests will be in the kitchen, consider spicing up your sink backsplash in the kitchen. New tile and grout can go a long way toward making this space more appealing.

Pre-Sale Areas

Finally, those familiar with the real estate world will know that spring and early summer are often the peak period of the year for home sales. If you’re prepping your property for a potential listing on the market when the weather warms up, there are numerous remodels you might consider, from upgrading appliances to major kitchen or bathroom remodeling themes that are known to come with a high ROI.
