Benefits Of Building Your Deck In The Winter
As a homeowner looking to build a deck in Utah, specifically in counties like Wasatch, Davis, Salt Lake, Summit, and Utah County, you’re probably thinking to yourself,
“Build a deck in the winter? In UTAH? Are they crazy?!”
The answer is yes, we are, because we LOVE to build decks year round and especially in the winter.
Why?
Because it’s beneficial for the homeowners, and it allows us to help more customers by offering what we call “off season projects”.
Off season simply means outside of our busy build season which starts in the spring and runs through fall.
When the weather gets colder, people are more hesitant to move forward with their deck project. They might think winter weather will hinder the build process, or they simply don’t know that we build year round.
We love to educate our potential clients on the benefits of building a deck in the winter and this blog is dedicated to all of that information and more.
So let’s talk about the benefits of building a deck in the winter, even in Utah.
Cold Weather = Off Season Availability
When the temps drop and the snow begins to fall, a lot of home remodeling projects get put on pause because customers are unaware that companies like ours build in the winter.
However in the winter months there is greater flexibility on build times because it isn’t as busy as it is during the spring and summer seasons!
If you want to enjoy your deck at the beginning of the spring, it’s a great benefit to build in the winter. If you wait until spring to schedule your build, you won’t get to use it until summer based on the busy build time and schedules!
By building in the winter, you’ll get the project done with greater flexibility around scheduling, get the great deck building workmanship our team provides, and have it ready to relax at the first sight of warmer weather!
Protect Your Landscape
Did you know that building a deck in the winter has a reduced impact on your landscape compared to building when it’s warm?
Think about it: frozen ground means you’re digging into a solid surface, while digging into softer ground produces more mud and mess.
But can you dig in the winter? Yes! We offer the option of using helical piers (steel screws that anchor the foundation) to break through the ground with little disruption.
Build Your Deck In The Winter – Enjoy It In The Spring
This is probably one the best benefits of building in the winter.
You build in winter and enjoy it in the spring. How much more beneficial is that?
If you want to, you can also enjoy your deck immediately after it’s finished. You can watch the snow fall over the Wasatch Mountains and sit by your cozy fireplace! – Did we mention that we install one for you? 😉
Snag The Seasonal Pricing Deals!
One last bonus of building in the winter is that you can take advantage of seasonal pricing. We offer great seasonal build quotes to those who choose to build in the winter. These special prices are only available when you build in the off season. So not only are you beating the spring and summer rush, you’re also getting off season pricing! We call that a win-win!
Along with a great price, you’ll get our exceptional craftsmanship, our 5-year workmanship warranty, product and material warranties, and our dedicated customer service. We won’t stop until you’re satisfied & happy with the newest extension of your home!
