Contractors are some of the hardest-working people around. Long hours, tough physical labor, unpredictable weather, demanding clients, and managing teams—there’s no such thing as a “quiet” week in the construction world. That’s why Sunday is sacred.
It’s the one day where they get to hang up the hard hat, step away from job sites, and hit the pause button. Whether they’re solo tradespeople or running multi-crew operations, most contractors crave a simple thing on their day off: balance.
So, how does the modern contractor spend their Sunday? Here are the 10 things they enjoy most doing to recharge and reset before another busy week.
10 Things Contractors Love Doing on Their Sunday Day Off
1. Sleeping In (Finally!)
After six straight mornings of 5:00 AM wakeups, sleeping in until 8 or 9 feels like luxury. It’s a rare moment to let the body rest without the jarring buzz of a job site alarm.
2. Spending Time with Family
Contractors miss out on a lot of family time during the week. Sunday becomes the perfect day to catch up—with a backyard BBQ, movie night, or just hanging out in the living room with the kids.
3. Watching Sports
Whether it’s NFL Sunday, a baseball doubleheader, or a Premier League match across the pond, contractors love unwinding with their favorite teams and a cold drink.
4. Working on Personal Projects
Many contractors are creators at heart. They might spend a few hours in the garage fixing an old car, building a treehouse, or tackling that long-postponed bathroom remodel at home—projects done out of passion, not obligation.
5. Outdoor Adventures
Fishing, hiking, biking, or hitting the trails with their dog—contractors often crave the outdoors but don’t always get to enjoy it. Sunday gives them that freedom.
6. Grilling and Cooking
There’s something special about standing over a grill with music playing and a cold drink in hand. Many contractors love preparing a big family meal, and Sunday is the best day to do it.
7. Church or Spiritual Time
For some, Sunday is about more than rest—it’s about reflection. Attending church or spending quiet time in nature helps them recenter before the week starts.
8. Watching Movies or Bingeing TV Shows
Sometimes, the best way to relax is simply to flop on the couch and catch up on missed shows or finally finish that movie everyone’s talking about.
9. Catching Up with Friends
A lot of friendships get squeezed out by long work hours. Sunday brunch, golf, or a simple coffee meetup gives contractors time to reconnect with people they care about.
10. Doing Absolutely Nothing
Some Sundays are made for sweatpants, naps, and zero responsibilities. Contractors often need a day with no expectations—just rest, peace, and maybe a nap or two.
The One Thing Contractors Don’t Want to Do on Sunday? Insurance Paperwork.
Let’s face it—dealing with insurance is the last thing any contractor wants to do on their day off. Between juggling job bids, managing workers, and dealing with equipment or vehicle issues, trying to understand a confusing policy or chasing down a certificate of insurance can push anyone over the edge.
That’s where BGES Group comes in—offering a simple, reliable way to manage your business insurance, so you never have to worry about it on your day off (or any day, really).
