Can I remodel in the winter?

Yes, but it requires some planning. It involves additional time. There are the holidays and deer hunting to consider. People are gone and companies  allow vacation time.

These things will affect your time schedule, like it or not, it is a reality. It may cost more to remodel in the winter as we need heat and the affected area may not be as energy efficient “in the process” as it will be in the end. If the furnace is down, the contractor may heat with portable propane heaters. We also have to pay someone to shovel snow or plow the driveway if you aren’t there to take care of it.
