If you’re thinking about waiting until spring to add a deck to your home, you should reconsider! Yes, it might seem counterintuitive. After all, it’s too cold to undertake a project such as this during the winter, right? Not necessarily.

Contrary to popular belief, there are several reasons why it’s best to build your deck during the Winter so that you can enjoy it when spring arrives.

Top 4 reasons to build a deck in the winter:

Installers are quiet during the chilly months

Take advantage of the construction “off-season” by building in the colder months of the year. Builders often prefer to keep their crews working year-round, and these winter months are no exception. Often builder schedules are flexible during the winter and there’s a good chance you’ll be able to save on build costs because of decreased demand.

You Might Need Time To Secure The Appropriate Building Permits

Some decks do require council consent! Is your deck attached to your home? Is it high above the ground? Then you might need to a consent! This is one of the most often-overlooked factors when building an addition to your home. Depending on the size and location of your deck obtaining the right permits can take time. If you get on to it early, you should be able to secure the appropriate permits in a more reasonable amount of time. Additionally, if there is a setback in the process, it will be less likely to prevent you from enjoying your deck in the spring. Our experts can point you in the right direction with regards to local council requirements.
