Once the Iowa State Fair winds down, life in Iowa takes on a different rhythm. Kids are back in school. Schedules settle. The pace slows after a busy summer of travel, activities, and backyard gatherings.
It’s also when many homeowners start to notice the things they’d like to change in their homes — the kitchen that feels too cramped when cooking for a crowd, the bathroom that’s showing its age, or the basement that could be so much more than storage space.
At Paradigm Construction, we believe this quiet end-of-summer moment is the perfect time to start planning your dream renovation. Not because we can get it done before the holidays (we can’t, and we won’t rush quality), but because the best projects take time, and starting now means you’ll step into construction with a solid plan, a clear budget, and confidence in every decision.
When you’re not racing against a deadline, you have space to dream a little bigger. You can weigh the pros and cons of different layouts, test out finish options, and explore ideas you might have overlooked if you were rushing. A slower design phase means the final plan is something you truly love — not just something you settled for.
Our schedule fills up months in advance. When you start now, you get first choice on timing instead of working around what’s left. That could be the difference between starting your project in spring versus midsummer.

Some of the best design choices require patience — like custom cabinetry, unique tile, or statement fixtures. These pieces often have long lead times, and ordering early means you get exactly what you want without swapping it for something “close enough.”
Rushed projects can feel like a whirlwind of decisions and deadlines. Planning early means we can work methodically, without cutting corners. Every phase — from design to bids to the first day on site — stays organized, predictable, and true to Paradigm’s standards.
We don’t believe in rushing for the sake of speed. A typical renovation with Paradigm — whether a kitchen, bathroom, or basement — follows a deliberate process: design, bidding, selections, and construction. On average, that’s 4–5 months from our first meeting to your finished space.
That’s why August is the smart time to start if you’re aiming for summer 2026, next year’s back-to-school season, or even the holidays a year from now.
The earlier you start, the more choices you have, the smoother the process, and the more you’ll enjoy the journey.
If you’ve been picturing your dream renovation, this is your moment to get ahead of the curve.

At Paradigm, we strongly believe we do more than build buildings or houses – we enhance lives, develop lasting relationships, and inspire those around us to make a difference.
