Winter may seem like an odd time for home remodeling, but it can be the best time to spruce up your interior since you’ll be spending more time inside. There are also a few benefits of completing projects in winter that you should take advantage of. Below are some of the top home improvement projects to tackle this season.

What Home Remodeling Projects Can Be Done In Winter?

1. Paint

Painting your walls can breathe new life into your home, revamping the interior theme and making rooms seem brighter and cozier. The dry air of winter can help paint dry faster, minimizing the risk of it being scuffed or bumped while wet, and your local painting store may have better deals as business slows down during the winter.

2. Counters

Outdated kitchen counters can be dull and covered in scratches that harbor bacteria. Replacing them doesn’t require much time spent outdoors, and new counters will provide a more welcoming, sanitary, and appealing space when you’re doing your holiday cooking. 

3. Windows

If your home is drafty, or your energy bills skyrocket in winter, the culprit could be inefficient windows. Older windows have lower insulation values, and the seals around them may have aged, letting in cold air gusts that make your heating system work harder. Having new, energy-efficient windows installed will help keep your home cozy and reduce your energy bills. Plus, contractors are usually slower during the winter months, so you may get a better deal or faster installation than if you wait for spring or summer.

4. Lights

It may also not fit in with your aesthetic. New lighting could rejuvenate your spaces and give you the chance to go for upgrades you’ve wanted. This could include new fixtures, the opportunity to install a dimmer switch, or smart technology that lets you control the lights with your phone. 

5. Hardwood Floors 

Winter has low humidity levels, which makes it ideal for replacing hardwood flooring. Installing hardwood in warm months leads to issues like trapped moisture turning into mildew or large gaps appearing when the boards shrink more than expected in cooler weather. Putting in new hardwood flooring during the winter means there’s little to no moisture to worry about, and while there will be room for the boards to expand in summer, they will have a more snug, precise installation that’s free of large gaps.
