Let’s face it — there’s no such thing as a perfect time to tear apart your kitchen. But if you ask any contractor worth their sawdust, they’ll tell you fall is pretty darn close. Here in Montana, where the seasons aren’t just suggestions, timing your remodel right can make all the difference.
So, if you’ve been kicking around the idea of custom cabinets — whether for a new build in Bozeman or a long-overdue kitchen upgrade in Gallatin Valley — let’s talk about why fall is your window of opportunity. And yes, there’s more to it than pumpkin spice and football season.
1. The Summer Rush Is Over (And That’s a Good Thing)
Summer’s great for backyard barbecues and road trips, but it’s also when builders, contractors, and homeowners hit the gas on projects. That means schedules are tight, suppliers are stretched thin, and lead times get longer than a Montana highway.
Come fall, things start to open up. Your local cabinet maker — like us here at Wilson — can give your project the attention it deserves without competing with ten other builds.
2. Better Weather Means Better Installs
Fall’s moderate temps are ideal for cabinet installs. Not too humid, not too dry — just right. That matters when you’re working with real wood, which, like a lot of us, tends to swell and shrink with the seasons.
Installing custom cabinets in the fall helps ensure a smoother fit and finish, especially in homes that experience Montana’s full four seasons (and then some).
3. You’ll Be Ready for the Holidays
Imagine hosting Thanksgiving in a kitchen that actually works for your family. Or decorating your brand-new custom cabinetry for the holidays. Starting your cabinet project in the fall means you’re set up to enjoy the heart of your home when it matters most.
And if entertaining isn’t your thing? You’ll still enjoy having a beautiful, functional space for winter hibernation season.
4. Avoid the Spring Stampede
Spring is when everyone and their neighbor starts calling their contractor. Beat the rush by getting your design, materials, and build schedule locked in now. Trust us — your future self will thank you when the snow starts to melt and your cabinets are already installed.
