Which is the Best Time of Year to do Home Renovation?

As a renovator, I can advise you on the best time for home renovation. As per my experience, I will say Spring is the ideal month for home remodelling. This is because the construction may proceed smoothly and there are few interruptions during the mild springtime weather. Moreover, it depends on multiple variables, including your timetable, budget, and project scope.

What is the Best Month to Renovate a House?

In India, the spring season arrives in March and April, so these two months are ideal for having your home renovated and getting some fresh looks. However, if you ask me to pick only one of these two months, I will suggest you select March. This is because of the following reasons:

• In March the weather is quite pleasant and offers longer daylight hours. 

• March is the best month to buy furniture and home improvement supplies. As you must have an idea that many showrooms have End of Year Sales in March and they offer great discounts.

• Renovators like me may work more productively and finish projects on schedule without worrying about delays caused by bad weather.

In addition, you can also go for the fall season. September through November are favourable months for renovators due to the milder temperatures. I hope you get an idea of the best month for house renovation.

We wanted to renovate our house, as the plaster on most of the walls was coming off. Last year, in August, we decided to start the renovation work and hired an expert. After scrutinising the issues, he suggested we wait two more months and start from October onwards. The post-monsoon season, from October to March, is considered to be the best time of year to do home renovation and that is why the renovator wanted to wait.

When is the Best Time to Renovate Your House?

Since I was unaware of the best time to renovate house, I asked him to help me understand the reason behind it. Here is what I learned from him:

• The weather is generally mild and dry during these months (October to March), providing preferred conditions for construction work without the challenges posed by heavy rains or extreme temperatures.

• Post-monsoon months experience lower humidity levels, ensuring better adhesion of paints and faster drying times for various construction materials.

• Many festivals, such as Diwali, fall during this period, making it culturally significant for renovations. Families often prefer to complete renovations before or during these festivals to showcase their homes at their best.

• Skilled labour is more readily available during this season as the construction industry experiences higher demand.

I myself also found the explanation quite convincing. Heavy rain or extreme weather conditions hamper the labour and transportation of goods so we waited till October and started house renovation after that.
