Although Winter hasn't even arrived to California, it is never too early to start planning for some great home remodeling projects in the early to mid Spring. Spring offers some choice conditions for remodeling due, largely, to California's (Especially Southern California) great spring time weather. A lot of home remodeling projects go by faster during this period due to warm, but not hot, air, and calm breezes that airate the home.

Paint

Painting an exterior or an interior of your home is a great remodeling project to do during the Spring because the warm air will allow the paint to dry faster. Inside the home, opening up all the windows will allow the paint to dry rapidly, while not letting the interior of the house get too hot like it would have been if it was done in the Summer. Outdoors, the spring conditions allow for paint to dry at optimal conditions, allowing for as little as discoloration as possible, since the sun isn't as direct as it would be during the Summer.

Deck Installation

Building a deck is an ideal project to take during the Spring. Deck construction and installation can be time consuming, so it's best to prepare that before the summer so the deck can be fully enjoyed by your family during the summer months. In Southern California, the sweltering summer heat tends to slow down workers who have to commit a lot of physical exertion in their construction. An ideal temperature keeps everyone working at their fullest!

 Backyard Remodeling

If you're looking to do a remodeling job to your backyard, aim for doing it in the Spring. New plants and grasses need time to grow, and the summer hot temperatures can stunt or dry out young plants. Besides you want to have that garden looking at it's best when the summer months roll around. Extensive backyard projects can take many months, and you want to maximize the daylight and the hours the workers will put in. Starting in Spring, even on a large project will guarantee that it will be finished on time.

Home Addition

Home additions take a lot of time to put together. Getting a project like this ready for the summer months, you'd have to start very early in the Spring. Home additions can involve everything from new roofs, cements, walling, and paint jobs. As mentioned above, the warm and breezy spring time weather we get in California creates an idea drying conditions, and also provides optimal temperatures to do strenuous physical labor.


Remember, any large remodeling job that you do, always work with a professional contractor. Small, do-it-yourself projects, can become massive headaches if not properly done.
