Summertime: The Perfect Season to Remodel Your Kitchen

Kitchen-Remodeling-1.jpg
Is your kitchen in desperate need of major repairs or remodeling? Well, take heart, because now is the perfect time to plan and schedule your kitchen remodeling project with Fred Oakley Construction! A kitchen remodel will not only enhance your enjoyment of your home, but also add to its resale value. Never thought about summer as being ideal for kitchen remodeling? Summer just happens to be a super time to tackle a kitchen renovation project. Here are our top 3 reasons why:


1. Summer schedules are more convenient.
You do more cooking and entertaining outside in the summer, and warm weather activities lead to more dining away from home. You can cook over a grill and open windows and doors to ventilate any dust stirred up from the team busy in your kitchen. The interruption from the work is easier to deal with in the summer! Also, it's common for family members to head off for camp, sports events, the pool or the golf course, so there is even less opportunity for disruption. The inconvenience is simply easier to handle during summer. In other seasons little things like a van parked in the driveway or the noise of power tools can create a major disruption. Another added perk: most people are also likely to have more free time during summer to watch the work going on and to make any decisions or changes on the spot.


2. The best crews and materials tend to be most available in summer.
Many contractors who do not specialize in kitchen work want to schedule your remodel for the spring or fall, which is the traditional time for interior work when they’re not busy with larger outdoor framing and construction jobs. But spring and fall may not be the time when they have the best people available, or when they can always get what they need in supplies and materials. Of course, Fred Oakley Construction will always have the best staff available at your service all year round.


3.  Strong natural light is better for making product selections.
In summer you clearly see how everything looks in the brightest conditions, and you can cover the windows to see it exactly as it will appear in later months. You can view cabinet, door, and countertop samples in the natural light of your own kitchen, not in the artificial light of a home center showroom. Samples can be brought to your home and examined right in your current kitchen, but the muted light of a winter day may lead you to choose something that looks quite different when bright sunlight is streaming through the window.

Middle Tennessee Backyard Deck Experts

Spring is winding it’s way into summer, and that means more and more reasons to celebrate outdoors on beautiful sunny days with friends, neighbors, and family. But do you face the same problems so many deck owners do? Over the years, wind and rain, sleet and snow, kids and pets take their toll on a backyard deck. How great would it be to take care of those repairs, and bring it back to life? Even better, what about finally transforming it into the outdoor entertainment oasis you’ve always dreamed of?

Now you’re talking! But just what does that look like? Well, at the Fred Oakley Construction Company, we recommend taking your family’s lifestyle into consideration. What kinds of activities do you love - and love to share together? Maybe you are thinking of a basic deck build out; something that looks nice, expands your home’s functionality, and boosts your property value. Or maybe you’re thinking of something more specific. Does your family love sports and tailgating? How about designing a backyard deck with a built-in outdoor kitchen, and wall-mounted large screen television so you can all enjoy your favorite games without leaving the comfort of your own backyard? Or maybe you enjoy gardening? Built-in planters and raised beds can be a unique thing of beauty. Say you live on a hill, and love looking out over the scenic vista together, watching the activities of the squirrels, the birds, and the bees as the seasons wind their way from one to another? An observation deck would be a stunning addition to your home - and your family’s enjoyment of it!
