Why the Week Between Christmas and New Year’s Is the Best Time to Plan Exterior Home Improvements
The week between Christmas and New Year’s is usually reserved for leftovers, naps, and pretending you still remember what day it is. But it’s also one of the smartest — and most overlooked — times to plan exterior home improvement projects. With the holiday rush over and winter settling in, this quiet stretch gives homeowners a perfect window to evaluate their roofing, siding, windows, doors, and gutters.
At AMDG Exterior Contracting, we help homeowners start the new year with strong, energy-efficient, great-looking homes. And yes, we do it with the same care your grandma puts into her Christmas cookies.
Why Homeowners Should Plan Exterior Projects Before the New Year
1. More Time to Evaluate Your Home’s Exterior
This week is calmer for most families, making it the ideal moment to walk around your home and spot issues like damaged shingles, loose siding, drafty windows, worn doors, or overflowing gutters. A quick inspection now can save you major repair costs later.
2. Winter Weather Reveals Hidden Problems
Cold temperatures and snow can expose roof leaks, siding gaps, and window draftiness you didn’t notice earlier in the year. Addressing these issues now keeps small problems from turning into big ones come spring.
3. Beat the Spring Rush for Roofing and Siding Contractors
Once January ends, homeowners begin booking roofing, siding, and exterior renovations fast. Planning now gives you priority scheduling and ensures your project gets completed before the busy season hits.
Top Exterior Projects to Prepare for the New Year
Roofing Services
Winter weather is tough on roofs. If you’ve noticed missing shingles, leaks, or age-related wear, now is the perfect time to schedule a roofing inspection or plan a roof replacement for early 2026.
Siding Repair & Replacement
Damaged or outdated siding affects curb appeal and energy efficiency. Planning siding upgrades now helps protect your home from moisture and winter storms.
Energy-Efficient Windows & Doors
Drafts and rising energy bills are major signs that your windows or doors may need replacement. Upgrading now improves comfort and reduces heating costs.
Gutter Repair & Installation
Clogged or damaged gutters can lead to water damage around your roofline and foundation. Planning gutter maintenance or replacement now keeps your home protected through winter and beyond.
Start the New Year With a Stronger, Safer Home
