A Small Upgrade That Delivers Big Results
Most homeowners wait until something breaks before tackling a remodel. That’s a mistake. Fall and early winter are the best months to remodel your bathroom, especially here in Roanoke, Franklin County, and around Smith Mountain Lake. Contractors have more flexibility, supply chains stabilize, and you can finish the job before the holidays hit full speed.
Here’s why acting now pays off.
1. Contractor Availability Is at Its Best
By November, the rush of summer projects is wrapping up. Crews have open slots before year-end. That means:
- Faster start times
- More focused attention on your project
- Less waiting for subcontractors and materials
At Wohlford Contracting, we book our winter work early to keep top crews active. Clients who plan ahead lock in better scheduling and smoother timelines.
2. Avoid the Spring Price Surge
Material prices often jump between January and March. Lumber, tile, and fixtures all creep up as national demand spikes.
When you remodel now, you:
- Buy before those price increases hit
- Avoid spring labor shortages
- Finish before your neighbors even get a quote
That’s smart money and less chaos later.
3. Energy Efficiency Starts in the Bathroom
It’s not just about looks. Bathroom remodels are prime spots to add energy and water-saving upgrades:
- Low-flow toilets and showerheads
- Better ventilation to cut heating costs
- Proper insulation behind walls and tubs
Updating now means lower winter utility bills and a more comfortable home when it’s cold outside.
4. Your Home’s Value Rises Fast
Bathrooms sell homes. Period.
Even modest updates like new tile, lighting, or fixtures create immediate equity. According to national averages, bathroom remodels return 60–70% of their cost in added home value.
If you plan to refinance or sell in 2026, remodeling this season sets you up to profit when the market rebounds in spring.
5. Make Holidays Comfortable for Family and Guests
Hosting guests this year? Don’t wait for the embarrassment of an outdated or leaky bathroom.
We’ve seen it a hundred times: a quick November renovation turns into the highlight of the holiday home.
Your visitors notice the small details like clean lines, fresh tile, modern lighting. A refreshed bathroom gives a strong first impression.
6. Winter Is Ideal for Indoor Work
Cold weather slows outdoor builds, but it’s perfect for indoor remodels.
Our teams specialize in dust-controlled, low-disruption renovations so your home stays functional during construction.
Less humidity means faster paint and grout curing, cleaner finishes, and fewer weather delays.
7. The Wohlford Way: Done Right, Done Local
When you hire Wohlford Contracting, you’re not hiring a national chain. You’re hiring neighbors who’ve built and remodeled homes across Roanoke, Salem, Franklin County, and Smith Mountain Lake.
Our promise is simple:
“A job well done is a job worth doing.”
That means real craftsmanship, honest pricing, and local accountability with no surprises.
