October renovations? What a great idea!

If summer is made for relaxing, and settling into a new school year takes up much of September, October is the ideal month to undertake some renovations. If you’re still unsure about fall renovations, here are a few arguments to convince you.

If dark and cloudy fall days give you the blues, the best remedy is to get busy. Take advantage of the fall to repaint walls and ceilings in warm, energizing colours. Has your family been asking for a second bathroom for ages? Give them this luxury as a Christmas gift. By starting the work in October, it will be ready by the time youknow-who climbs down your chimney.

October is also an ideal month to do any necessary outdoor work, such as repairs to the roof or the siding. The weather is perfectly comfortable for working outside without being inconvenienced by the heat of summer or the cold of winter. If you realize that the work is urgent, do it now instead of putting if off until the spring. The best thing is to take the bull by the horns and replace everything as soon as possible. You never know what Mother Nature has in store for you!

Another advantage of October renovations is that construction workers in the various trades are not nearly as busy at this time of year as they are in the spring and summer. They will likely be in a position to help you carry out the project you’re ready to undertake.

Convinced? Just make a plan, get your tools, and get to work!
