Thinking about redoing your kitchen, transforming your bathroom, or opening up your home’s layout? A big renovation or remodel is an exciting investment — but timing is everything. At TGA Renovated, we’ve guided hundreds of Charlotte-area clients through the planning and execution of dream remodels, and we know one thing for sure: the earlier you plan, the better.
So whenisthe right time to start planning your big project? Here’s our advice:
1. Start Planning 3–6 Months Before You Want the Work to Begin
Most homeowners underestimate how much goes into the pre-construction phase.
Design, budgeting, selecting materials, finalizing layouts, permitting — it all takes time.
If you want work to start inspring, for example,start planning in the fall or winter.This gives you time to get everything just right before hammers hit the wall.
2. Plan Ahead to Align With Your Schedule
Have a new baby coming? Hosting family for the holidays? Planning a vacation?
Make sure your renovation timeline workswithyour life, not against it. Major renovations often mean parts of your home will be temporarily unusable — plan for it and communicate with your contractor about your lifestyle needs.
3. The Best Time to Renovate Might Be When Demand Is Lower
Spring and summer are traditionally busy seasons for remodels. If you can be flexible, you might find shorter wait times and even better material availability by starting during “off-peak” times, like late fall or early winter.
4. Start Now If You Want to Be Move-In Ready by a Key Date
Whether it’sback-to-school,the holidays, orlisting your home for sale, working backward from your goal date helps clarify when you need to start. Big renovations can take 2–6 months (or more!) from start to finish depending on complexity — starting early is your best insurance policy.
5. You’re Ready to Renovate If You’re Seeing These Signs:
-You’ve outgrown your space or layout
-You’ve been “making it work” for too long
-You’re noticing recurring repairs or outdated systems
-You want to increase your home’s resale value
-You’re financially ready or have a clear vision
