Why Is Winter a Great Time to Invest in a New Deck?

Many homeowners tend to complete home improvement projects during the warmer seasons. It’s a common misconception that you can’t start a deck-building project in winter. The truth is, decks can be built even during the colder months if you hire a skilled and experienced contractor. 

A local home exterior and roofing contractor shares why winter is a great time to plan and build a new deck. 

It’s Easier to Schedule Your Project

Winter is the slowest season for home improvement companies. It’s one of the main reasons it’s a great time to plan your deck installation project. When you schedule your project in winter, it’s very likely that yours will only be one of the few jobs your builder will be working on. Your contractor can pay more attention to your project. 

Since it is not the peak season, you may even be able to get deals from contractors. At Shine Construction, we’re here to assist with your home’s exterior needs no matter the season. We specialize in deck building, roof repair and siding installation. 

It’s a Good Season for Natural Curing of Wood

Natural wood is a popular choice for decks. If you are using this material, you should consider the season when the construction will take place. During winter, the natural moisture of the wind will dry more quickly and evenly. The harmful effects of direct sunlight won’t also be a problem during this season. Decks are made to resist damage from outdoor elements but the natural curing the occurs in the colder months is better for newly-built decks.
