Why Summer Is the Perfect Time to Start Your Home Remodel in Tucson
Summer in Tucson is known for its blazing sun, monsoon clouds rolling in, and long daylight hours. While the high temperatures may make most people head indoors, for many homeowners, it’s actually the ideal season to begin a remodeling project. Whether you're planning a kitchen upgrade, a bathroom renovation, or a full home makeover, starting your remodel in the summer comes with some clear advantages.
At BP Remodeling, we’ve helped countless Tucson families plan and execute successful home renovations—and we can confidently say that summer is one of the best times to get started. Here's why.
1. Dry Weather = Fewer Delays
Tucson’s summers may be hot, but they’re generally dry and predictable until the monsoon season kicks in—usually in July or August. This allows remodelers to make quick progress without rain delays or humidity-related material issues.
For outdoor work like:
Room additions
Patio or pergola installations
Window replacements
Exterior painting
…the low chance of rain in early to mid-summer is ideal. Dry weather means faster drying times for materials like paint, stucco, concrete, and adhesives, speeding up your project timeline.
2. Take Advantage of School Breaks & Vacations
If you have kids at home, summer is often easier to manage during a remodel. School is out, which means:
You’re not juggling drop-offs, homework, and busy school routines.
Family vacations can align with the noisiest or most disruptive phases of the project.
Children and pets can stay at a relative’s house while work is being done.
Many Tucson families choose to start their remodel before a trip and return to significant progress—or even a finished space.
3. More Daylight = More Productivity
Longer daylight hours mean your remodeling crew can get more done in a single day. While contractors typically follow regulated working hours, the extended sunlight helps with:
Better visibility for detailed work
Early morning or later evening exterior projects
Faster project timelines overall
With Tucson’s sunrise starting around 5:30 AM in the summer, our team can get a head start before the afternoon heat peaks.
4. Indoor Comfort During the Hottest Months
Summer is when homeowners feel the discomfort of their outdated spaces the most—especially in kitchens or bathrooms lacking ventilation, or homes with poor insulation.
By starting your remodel in summer, you can:
Upgrade to energy-efficient windows or appliances
Improve cooling with better airflow and insulation
Replace tile or flooring that traps heat
Install a more functional kitchen layout that doesn’t overheat
Plus, you’ll be ready to enjoy your upgraded space by the time cooler fall weather rolls in—just in time for entertaining.
5. Get Ahead of the Fall Remodeling Rush
Many homeowners wait until fall or even early winter to begin their home projects, hoping to have them done before the holidays. The result? A backlog of contractor bookings, limited availability, and higher demand for materials.
Starting your project in summer gives you:
Priority scheduling
Better access to materials before prices surge
Time to complete projects without rushing into the holiday season
At BP Remodeling, June and July are ideal months for laying the groundwork and completing major renovation milestones well ahead of Thanksgiving and year-end events.
