August may still feel like peak summer, but if you’re hoping to have your home refreshed or renovated in time for the holiday season, now is the time to start. Whether you’re dreaming of a new kitchen to host Thanksgiving dinner or finally want that updated guest bathroom ready for visitors, planning early is the smartest move you can make.

Here’s why August is your renovation sweet spot—and what steps you should take right now to stay on schedule.

1. Finalize Your Vision

Start by getting clear on what you want to renovate and why. Are you looking for a full kitchen remodel, a living room refresh, or new flooring throughout your first floor? Knowing your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves helps your contractor give you an accurate scope, budget, and timeline from the start.

✅ TGA Tip: Create a mood board or save inspiration photos now—this will help speed up the design process later.

2. Book a Consultation ASAP

August is a busy time for contractors. Many companies (including ours) are alreadybooking into fall, which means the earlier you get on our calendar, the better chance you have of wrapping up before the holidays.

✅ TGA Tip: At TGA Renovated, we offer consultations that help you understand your options, budget ranges, and project feasibility—no pressure, just transparency.

3. Plan for Permits and Approvals

Depending on your project, permits and HOA approvals can take several weeks (or longer). Starting now ensures there’s enough buffer time for paperwork, inspections, and unexpected delays that are common in residential construction.

✅ TGA Tip: We handle permitting for you, but starting in August gives our team the runway to secure everything without rush fees or holiday slowdowns.

4. Lock In Design + Materials Early

The longer you wait, the fewer options you may have. Many materials—like tile, custom cabinetry, and specialty lighting—can have6-8 week lead times. Design choices made in August help avoid scrambling in October and ensure your materials arrive on time.

✅ TGA Tip: Our in-house design team can help streamline selections to keep your project stylishandon schedule.

5. Build In a Buffer

Construction, by nature, can be unpredictable. Weather, material delays, and hidden issues behind walls are all part of the process. Starting early gives you a cushion and reduces stress leading up to the holidays.

✅ TGA Tip: We build realistic timelines with buffers included—but the earlier you start, the more peace of mind you’ll have.
