Are you thinking about taking on home renovations? Whether you’re looking to simply give your home a facelift, or your windows and doors are long overdue an update, it’s important not to rush into a decision when making a significant investment in your home.
The time of year that you take on home renovations is something that all homeowners should factor, particularly for exterior home improvements. In general, the time of which you should opt to make home renovations is varied depending on your intentions, yet by choosing optimal months of the year, you can benefit from greater efficiency, convenient completion times, and minimal disruptions.
If you’re looking to replace your windows and doors, or even bring a bespoke outdoor living structure to your home, we’re here to help you choose your start time! Keep reading to learn about the best time for home renovations.
If you’re reading this article shortly after its release, in March, now is the time to act! Home renovations are generally most ideal in spring time, with many proud homeowners looking to show off their new improvements in time for summer!
With the mild temperatures, better weather, and comfortable working conditions, spring makes for more efficient installations as a result of having fewer disruptions. Not only this, but the lighter nights provide for more work to be completed!
While we personally recommend spring for home renovations, both summer and early autumn are also excellent options for home renovations. However, the time of which you choose to renovate your home may depend on the scale of your project, and the work you want to do.
If you’re looking to complete your home improvements at a certain time, it’s worth planning early in order to ensure you finish at your desired time. Contact us here to discuss your project.
If you’re looking to give the entrance of your home a refresh with a new timber door, you should consider opting for the warmer months of the year. It’s best to avoid the harsher weather conditions, making winter an unpopular choice for homeowners.
We’d personally recommend acting early when it comes to changing your timber door. It’s important not to leave your door replacements too late, as you may find that the colder weather is already upon you by the time it comes to installation. Making your inquiry at the beginning of March gives you the best chance of completing in time for summer, allowing your home to shine in the natural light!

In terms of installing modern windows, many homeowners are opting for energy efficiency, an excellent way to save on your bills, particularly in the colder months. However, what many people don’t realise is that energy efficiency is something that you benefit from all year round, regulating your home’s temperature by keeping it cool in the summer, and warm in the winter.
As a result, we would also recommend that for window installation, you choose either spring, or summer, due to the pleasant working conditions. However, autumnal months still remain a popular choice for homeowners looking to make pre-Christmas installations.
When it comes to selecting your choice of window, you can make your investment worthwhile when you choose our timber windows. The outstanding insulation properties, and beauty of our timber windows make them the perfect addition to homes both old and new. If you’re looking to find out more, click here.
Listed properties often face the challenge of planning permission, restricting structural renovations. When it comes to replacing, or repairing windows, vacuum glazing provides the perfect solution to overcome this challenge, bringing outstanding thermal efficiency to heritage homes. When it comes to installing vacuum glazing, we’d recommend enquiring far in advance, due to the longer installation lead times.
Despite being as thin as a single pane of glass, vacuum glazing brings nearly twice the energy efficiency performance as triple glazing, ensuring comfortable living, and significantly reduced energy bills. Accompanying thermal efficiency is vacuum glazing’s excellent acoustic performance, high durability, and reduced double reflection – bringing the future into period homes with a vintage appeal.

As we’re writing this, summer is right around the corner! There’s no way to get your home summer ready quite like investing in a bespoke outdoor living structure. When implementing outdoor living structures into your home, we’d definitely recommend getting started in spring, or even late February, so that you can ensure that your garden living space is ready in time to enjoy the warm weather!
The ultimate outdoor living experience, crafted with elegance to match your home. Installing a pergola into your garden can provide you with an entirely new living space, completely transforming your outdoor living experience.
When it comes to choosing the perfect outdoor living space for your home, the glass veranda is crafted in a range of three different structures, built to complement any surrounding.
While there is no set date or time that fits all property owners, we’d always recommend spring time as the most beneficial time to make home renovations. Regardless of the time you decide to take on home improvements, it’s important to ensure the quality of your new timber windows, doors, or outdoor living structures.

There’s a common belief among heritage homeowners that you can’t improve your heritage home – let us introduce you to vacuum glazing. Whether it’s the tight constraints of planning permission, or a reluctance to hinder the visual appearance of listed buildings, heritage homeowners are often reluctant to attempt to renovate their home in any regard, […]
If you’ve ever renovated, or are looking to renovate your home, you’ve likely asked yourself “What is U Value?”. U Value is a term that is becoming harder and harder to avoid in the modern day, likely because it’s closely related to topics you’re more familiar with, such as: energy efficiency, sustainability, and Net Zero.

Whilst not the cheapest quote, the presentation and professional approach persuaded me to use ERW. Standard of work and communication to let us know when the works will be conducted were excellent. Stain glass windows are perfect match and look excellent.

Many thanks to ERW Joinery Ltd, our home has been transformed. The quality and installation has exceeded our expectations. The work of your installers has been exemplary, nothing has been a problem and their care and attention to detail is first class. We would recommend you to anyone.
Dr & Mrs M, Ponteland
ERW has been a major contributor in improving the physical appearance and energy conservation in our property which sits in the middle of Stokesley’s conservation area. In four phases of design and installation since early 2018 you have helped transform our property with complete distinction.
From assistance given to lodging planning applications with Hambleton District Council through advice on window design and final installation, I can give no higher praise than commending ERW on every aspect of installation.
I first visited your showroom and workshop in the Autumn of 2017 and was impressed with the factory tour afforded me by Kirsty Semark (Customer Service Supervisor). I was convinced that ERW could provide the solution to upgrading our ageing timber windows and appreciate the help and courtesy extended from you and all your staff – many of whom I have met during our four phases of installation.
The very recent installation of a new ‘Eton’ front door enhances the front elevation with perfection.
Please convey our sincere thanks to everyone involved with the workmanship, installation and administration.
Mr U, Stokesley
ERW have recently replaced my windows. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I would certainly recommend them.
