Why August Is the Best Time to Start Your Kitchen or Bath Remodel (Plus Ohio Lumber Brick & Block’s Favorite Trends)

Thinking about upgrading your kitchen or bathroom before the holiday season? August is the ideal month to begin. At Ohio Lumber Brick & Block, we know from experience that once September arrives, contractor schedules tighten and product lead times get longer. But if you start your remodel now, you’ll beat the fall rush and enjoy a stunning new space that’s ready to wow your family and friends before the holidays.

Why It Pays to Start in August

Better Access to Skilled Contractors: Talented installers get booked quickly as the year winds down. Starting your project now gives you access to top professionals — and at Ohio Lumber Brick & Block, we can connect you with trusted local experts who share our commitment to quality.

More Time to Plan & Order Materials: From custom cabinetry to countertops, certain products require extended lead times. Beginning early means you’ll have the freedom to make the right decisions without feeling rushed.

Your Home, Holiday-Ready: Whether you’re planning a big Thanksgiving dinner or hosting friends for New Year’s Eve, finishing ahead of schedule means you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy your remodel.

Kitchen & Bath Trends We’re Seeing at Ohio Lumber Brick & Block

Warm Wood Cabinetry: Natural walnut and oak finishes are returning in a big way, creating kitchens and baths with warmth and timeless appeal.

Eye-Catching Tile: Whether it’s a bold backsplash in the kitchen or patterned flooring in the bathroom, statement tile designs are a growing favorite.

Mixed Metals for Style: Pair brushed gold fixtures with matte black hardware or polished nickel accents for a curated, modern look.

Spa-Inspired Bathrooms: Homeowners are loving the retreat-like feel of floating vanities, freestanding tubs, and calming color palettes.
