Spring Remodeling Checklist: How BDS Sets Your Project Up for Success

Spring is one of the best times of year to start a home renovation. Warmer weather, longer daylight hours, and the natural motivation to refresh your space make it ideal for a kitchen, bathroom, basement remodel, or even time for the whole home to be remodeled. But the real key to a successful spring renovation isn’t just timing — it’s having the right process and team in place. Here is a spring remodeling checklist, combined with how the BDS team process ensures your project runs smoothly from concept to completion.

Why Spring Is the Perfect Time to Remodel

Spring offers several advantages:

Construction conditions
Easier scheduling before peak summer demand
Completion before holiday entertaining season
Increased home value during prime real estate months if you are looking to sell

According to the National Association of Home Builders, remodeling activity typically rises in spring and early summer — meaning early planning is essential to secure your preferred timeline. This is where a structured design-build approach makes all the difference.

What frustrations you want solved
