This article was published on March 4, 2025

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.

When Should You Get Started With 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.

Door Renovations

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!

If you’re looking to bring beauty, and performance to your home, choose industry-leading craftsmanship. When you implement our doors into your home, you’ll not only be bringing head-turning kerb appeal, but outstanding performance. With exceptional energy efficiency properties, high-end locking features, and an abundance of customisation options available, we craft doors of true quality.

Window Restoration and Replacement

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.

Vacuum Glazing

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.

Outdoor Living

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 Aluminium Pergola

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.

The Glass Veranda

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. 

Summary

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.
