Deck with Roof Cover in Castle Rock
As the colors turn and the temperature drops, you’re probably thinking of putting the patio furniture away, raking the leaves, and preparing for a snug winter indoors.
Wait.
Why walk away from your outdoor living space during the ideal time of year to improve your home’s value? You can invest in a project that will provide you with an enriched lifestyle now and for years to come, if you act now. If you’ve been thinking about constructing a new deck or remodeling an existing structure, fall is the best season to take action.
Enjoy a full season of your outdoor space next year.
Installing a deck in the fall will ensure you’re ready for spring. If you start construction in March or April, you lose months before your new deck is ready for complete enjoyment. When you begin a deck project in the fall, all of the construction happens when you and your family are cozy indoors, not when you’re ready to play outdoors. Additionally, acclimating your new redwood deck in the winter months will prime it for applying finish properly in the spring. Can you think of a better way to kick off the spring and summer months?
Construction in autumn provides you more scheduling options.
In the summer months when contractors are busy, the schedule tends to get filled with crew efficiency in mind, providing options that aren’t necessarily convenient for the client. As production slows in the fall, the crews have more flexibility to work around your schedule and complete the project on a time line that is convenient to you. In addition, more available workers mean larger crews working on your project. This allows them to complete your job faster than in spring or summer months.
Less impact on existing landscape.
As the weather cools, grass and plants go dormant; turf and soil is drier or frozen, resisting the stress caused by heavy traffic and material storage. In springtime, Colorado weather brings heavy, wet snow and rain that softens the landscape, leading to damage that takes longer to repair.
Mother Nature is more predictable in the fall.
Autumn in the Denver area is much drier than spring, generally speaking. Spring, while full of promise, often takes us by surprise with late season snows and rain. While your garden may appreciate the moisture, the delays it creates with construction crews causes frustration when deadlines get extended. In winter, our crews typically see shorter delays from the occasional snow storm than the more constant weather issues that come in the spring.
As always, smart shoppers see savings.
Although construction demand drops off as winter approaches, our crews work year-round. During the fall, you can take advantage of off-season pricing. Ask if there are additional discounts available; you may be able to save up to 10% on your deck project.
