DESIGNING YOUR HOME, CREATING YOUR WORLD
Discover how to kick off your fall remodel with confidence—learn why quartz countertops and waterproof flooring are smart investments, plus tips to simplify the renovation process.
Fall is the perfect season to bring new life to your home. With cooler weather and the back-to-school rhythm setting in, many homeowners find autumn to be the ideal time for home improvement projects. But if you’re planning a remodel—whether it’s a full kitchen renovation or a simple refresh—it can be tough to know where to start.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essential first steps to take, explain why materials like quartz countertops and waterproof flooring are top picks for fall remodels, and help you avoid the common pitfalls that slow projects down.
Before getting swept away by Pinterest boards or tile samples, focus on your family’s daily needs. What spaces feel the most chaotic or outdated? Are you hosting holiday dinners this year? Does your kitchen lack countertop space? Think function first.
The most successful remodels begin with a clear understanding of pain points. Whether it’s worn-out surfaces, limited storage, or a layout that no longer serves your lifestyle, defining what’s not working helps guide smarter product decisions. A fall remodel for your house gives you a fresh start for the season.
Fall weather creates the ideal environment for installation work—mild temperatures and lower humidity levels help materials settle more smoothly. That’s why a fall remodel is a great time to install long-lasting surfaces like quartz countertops or durable waterproof flooring options like LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) or SPC. Following expert guides on the current trend could also help identify which material is right for you.
At Old World Stone Imports, we’re offering a Back to School Home Savings Event with up to 20% off all LVP, LVT, SPC, and waterproof flooring—and quartz countertop packages starting at $36.95/sq. ft., including material, fabrication, and installation.
These products don’t just look good—they’re made to withstand heavy use, water, heat, and stains. Quartz countertops, in particular, are a favorite among Utah homeowners for their non-porous durability and sleek appearance—making them a smart investment during your fall remodel.
Contractors’ schedules tend to book up quickly in the fall, especially leading into the holidays. If you’re hoping to enjoy your upgraded space by Thanksgiving or the new year, now is the time to start sourcing materials and booking installers for your fall remodel.
Our team at OWSI can help you align your material selections with a build-ready timeline. We keep many of our top styles in stock to reduce delays—and during our August sale, you can lock in both savings and scheduling at once.

One of the biggest frustrations in remodeling today is material delay. Many projects get stuck waiting on stone shipments or backordered flooring. That’s why sourcing locally—instead of ordering blindly online—makes all the difference, especially during a fall remodel when timelines matter.
By shopping in person at OWSI, you can see and touch your selections in real-time, confirm what’s in stock, and ensure your materials are ready when your crew is.
Whether you’re a homeowner planning your dream kitchen, a designer balancing client expectations, or a contractor working within a strict budget, our August sale is the perfect opportunity to kickstart your fall remodel. We’re making it easier than ever to find high-quality materials without the usual delays or inflated costs.
Take advantage of quartz countertops starting at $36.95 per square foot — including fabrication and installation. Or explore our wide selection of LVP, LVT, SPC, and waterproof flooring, all available at 20% off. With local inventory and in-store design experts ready to guide you, you’ll have everything you need to start strong and finish on time.
A beautiful remodel isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about everyday ease. When choosing surfaces, look for materials that marry performance with visual appeal.
For example, quartz comes in a wide variety of finishes and colors, from warm marble looks to deep veining and modern concrete tones. It’s also stain-resistant and requires virtually no maintenance, making it an ideal solution for busy kitchens and bathrooms.
Waterproof flooring, like SPC, is another smart choice—it mimics the look of wood or tile but holds up better to spills, pets, and Utah’s shifting seasons.
Still deciding on a direction? Our showroom features full-scale displays of quartz countertops, backsplash pairings, and full room flooring layouts to help you visualize the result before committing.
We also recommend browsing our Instagram and Pinterest for real-life installations and material pairings that have worked well for Utah homeowners just like you.
