Why Now Is the Time to Start Planning Your Spring Remodel
August 25th, 2025
It might still feel like summer outside, but if you’re thinking about remodeling your home next spring, the best time to start planning is right now.
We see it every year at Munz Construction. As soon as the first warm day hits in March or April, our phones start ringing. The problem? By that point, spring calendars are already packed, and for homeowners hoping to start (or finish) a renovation by early summer, that delay can be frustrating.
The good news? You don’t have to wait. In fact, if you’re reading this in September, you’re already ahead of the game.
Remodeling Isn’t Just About Construction — It’s About Timing
A significant home renovation doesn’t start with a hammer; it starts with a plan. Before any construction begins, there’s a lot that happens behind the scenes:
- Finalizing your layout and design
- Choosing finishes, materials, and fixtures
- Getting township permits approved
- Booking a time with your contractor and project manager
All of that takes time. Starting the process now means you won’t be rushed, and you’ll have more control over every decision. It also gives you the flexibility to make changes, compare ideas, and avoid the stress that comes with last-minute choices.
Beat the Spring Rush (And the Stress That Comes With It)
Spring is one of the busiest seasons in home remodeling. Contractors book up fast, materials take longer to ship, and timelines get tight. If you wait until March to start making calls, you’ll likely be waiting weeks or even months before the work can actually begin.
Planning gives you options. It lets you choose your start date, secure your place on the schedule, and take your time finalizing all the details that matter.
More Time Means Better Results
Homeowners who plan early don’t just get their projects done faster; they often get better results. Why? Because they aren’t rushing. They’re thinking things through. They’re exploring design ideas and asking questions.
At Munz Construction, we love working with homeowners who start early because we can really take our time with the design process. We get to collaborate more closely, suggest better solutions, and fine-tune the layout so it fits your life — not just the season.
You’ll Be Ready When the Weather Is
If you plan now, you can break ground when the weather turns in your favor, not weeks or months later. That means your kitchen, bathroom, or home addition can be ready in time for summer hosting, outdoor gatherings, or just relaxing in a space that finally works the way you want it to.
It’s a great feeling to enjoy the warmer months in a space you helped shape, and even better knowing you were prepared well ahead of time.
Let’s Start the Conversation Now — So You’re Ready Later
If you want to improve your home but are not ready for a full remodel or addition, a portico is a great option. It delivers high visual and practical impact without changing the footprint of your home or disrupting your daily life.
You will not need to move out, alter interior spaces, or deal with a long construction timeline. Most portico projects wrap up quickly, and the transformation feels immediate. Once it is complete, it feels like it has always belonged there.
Late Summer Is the Right Time for Lasting Impact
Whether you’re thinking about a complete home addition, a new kitchen, or finally remodeling that outdated bathroom, September is the perfect time to start the conversation.
We’ll sit down, talk through your goals, and map out a plan that works for your budget, your timeline, and your home.
At Munz Construction, we guide Bucks County homeowners through every phase of their renovation, from design and permits to construction and finishing touches. The earlier you start, the better your project will be.
When should I start planning a spring renovation?
The best time to start planning is in early fall — ideally September or October — so there’s enough time for design, permitting, and scheduling.
Why do renovations take so long to get started?
Before construction begins, your contractor needs to complete design work, help you choose materials, submit permits, and organize labor and equipment. Each step takes time — especially for larger remodels.
What happens if I wait until spring to call?
Contractors book up quickly. You may have to wait several months before construction begins, which could push your project into summer or even fall.
How do I start the process now?
