New year, fresh energy — and the perfect time to make your home or business work better for you. At McElhinny Brothers Construction COMPANY, INC., we’re already lining up late-winter and early-spring projects for 2026. If you’ve been thinking about a kitchen refresh, adding a home office that actually supports your productivity, fixing up problem areas, or scheduling a commercial update, now’s the moment to get your project on the list.
Why plan now for late winter / early spring work?
Construction is seasonal. Many contractors finalize their calendars in late winter so crews and permits are in place the moment weather allows. Waiting until spring means you’ll be competing for slots and possibly facing longer lead times or seasonal price pressures. Booking now gives you:
Priority placement on our schedule so work starts as soon as conditions permit.
Time to finalize design choices, pull permits, and source materials without rushed decisions.
Greater chance to finish within the season instead of pushing major work into the next warm period.
Starting the year with home & office updates is like a resolution for your space
People make New Year’s resolutions to improve physical and mental health — but your environment matters just as much. An updated, efficient home or workplace reduces daily stressors (noisy systems, drafts, poor lighting), improves comfort, and supports healthier indoor air — all of which contribute to better physical and mental wellbeing. Major public health and housing reviews show that improved housing conditions and better indoor environments are linked to better respiratory, cardiovascular, and mental health outcomes. NCBI+1
Office and workspace improvements (better daylighting, thermal comfort, acoustics, and air quality) are strongly associated with improved productivity, lower stress, and greater satisfaction among occupants — exactly the kind of return many local business owners want heading into a new year.

The practical benefits — health, comfort, and value
When you invest in well-planned updates:
Health — Upgrading ventilation, removing mildew/mold sources, and fixing leaks reduces respiratory risks and allergy triggers. World Health Organization+1
Comfort & energy savings — Tightening the building envelope, updating insulation, windows, or HVAC systems lowers utility bills and creates consistently comfortable rooms. NCBI
Mental wellbeing — Living and working in a space that feels intentional, organized, and functional improves mood and reduces daily friction; research ties home repair/renovation investment to increased home satisfaction and overall wellbeing. SpringerLink+1
Productivity & business image — Updated commercial spaces attract customers, reduce sick days, and create a professional environment that supports your brand. World Green Building Council
Common projects homeowners and businesses book for late winter / early spring
Kitchen and bathroom remodels (improved layouts, ventilation, energy-efficient fixtures)
Basement finishing or home office buildouts (soundproofing, lighting, climate control)
Exterior repairs, roofing, siding, and window replacements (scheduled for early season so exterior work finishes before summer)
