While many homeowners may think that spring and summer are the perfect time to kick-off home improvement tasks, when it comes to hardwood floor installation, winter can be the perfect time to get started. If you’ve been putting off installing hardwood floors or refinishing your current ones, hiring a hardwood floor installer and refinisher during the winter can have unexpected advantages.
Here’s why hiring a hardwood floor installer and refinisher in the winter is a great opportunity:
Flexible Scheduling Makes Your Project Move Faster
Since it’s the slower season, getting your project scheduled can be easier. During peak seasons, you may have to book weeks-to-months in advance, but during the slower season, your wood flooring installer may be available a lot sooner and can work on your schedule to install or refinish your hardwood floors. There’s also less pressure to rush decisions and hurry through completion.
Great Indoor Conditions for Hardwood Floors
Despite the cold weather outside, winter conditions can be beneficial to the wood floor installation process, especially when it’s being handled by a seasoned professional. Indoor heating helps keep the humidity levels in the home stable, allowing the wood to better acclimate. This helps reduce the risk of moisture fluctuations, which can warp the wood and make it difficult to install.
Preparing Your Floors for Spring & Summer
When you have hardwood floors installed or refinished in the winter, it clears the way for the warmer seasons. These seasons are often filled with occasions to entertain, so having new floors or updated floors to show off makes it easier when the process was completed months ago during the quiet season.
Less Disruption with Winter Services
Winter is a season that offers a lot of down time for many people. There’s less vacations, visiting guests outside of holidays, and patterns and routines are more predictable. It makes it the perfect time to plan your installation and refinishing project without having to disrupt your lifestyle. It’s considered to be a less stressful time to complete indoor remodeling and renovation projects.
Making Time for Warmer Weather
Getting this much needed project done during the more dormant winter months frees up your spring and summer. This allows you to focus on other home-based projects that may not be as involved as wood floor installation.
