If you’ve been putting off a remodel, 2026 is the year to do it—and the best time to start is now. Planning early helps you lock in your preferred timeline, avoid seasonal backlogs, and make smart design choices without rushing.
2026 Is the Year to Remodel — Here’s Why
1) The Best Contractors Book Up Early
Remodel schedules fill quickly—especially for kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and exterior upgrades. Starting your planning now means you can secure design time, permitting, and materials before peak demand.
2) Remodels Take Longer Than Most People Expect
Even “simple” projects have phases:
-
Design + selections
-
Permits (when needed)
-
Ordering materials
-
Demo + build
-
Finishes + punch list
Getting ahead in 2026 keeps your project moving smoothly and helps prevent that “we should’ve started sooner” feeling.
3) You’ll Enjoy the Upgrade Longer
A remodel isn’t just about resale value. It’s about everyday quality of life—better flow, more storage, improved lighting, updated finishes, and a home that finally functions the way you need it to.
