5 Winter Construction Projects You Should Start to Be Ready for Spring & Summer

Why Winter Is the Smartest Time to Start Your Next Residential or Commercial Construction Project

While the temperatures drop across the Louisiana and Texas, most people hit pause on construction plans - but winter is actually the perfect time to start new projects that you want to be ready by spring or summer. At DeRamus Construction Services, we help business and homeowners strategically plan during the colder months so that their properties are fully prepared, improved and updated for when the warm weather rolls in again.

Let's dive into the top 5 types of projects you should plan and start during the winter season.

1. Exterior Renovations & Outdoor Living Spaces

From stucco repairs and porch repainting to patio expansions, outdoor kitchens, and pergolas - colder months are the perfect time to plan and begin outdoor projects. Construction schedules are typically more flexible, so by beginning your project early, the completion time will be just in time for spring and summer gatherings.

Businesses across our region use the slower winter months to complete upgrades such as:

• Restroom remodels

• Breakroom improvements

• Lobby renovations

• Interior finish repairs

• Office expansions

Starting these upgrades now ensures your business is fully prepared and operational before the busy spring and summer seasons.

3. Roofing & Structural Repairs

The colder months are an ideal time to assess your roof's condition, identify damages that affect your property's energy efficiency, and complete any structural repairs. By acknowledging and repairing these issues, you can prevent the spring rain from causing extensive water damages and the summer heat from racking up your energy bills.

4. Painting, Flooring, and Remodels

Indoor improvements have been known as wintertime favorites. With a lower humidity percentages and cooler temperatures, certain finishes can cure better, and it is easier to schedule interior work during off-seasons and while outdoor spaces are less active

Whether it is a kitchen upgrade, restroom remodel, or a full interior transformation, winter gives construction crews the necessary plan and execution time to make sure your project is completed efferently and with precision.

5. Pre-Construction Planning & Permitting

So, you want your project to begin in the spring. Now is the perfect time to begin getting all your documents and plans in order. Planning can take time and there are essentials, such as:

• Design finalizations

• Organized materials

• Submitting and acquiring permits

With the preparation being finalized early, your project can break ground as soon as you are ready or the first warm front rolls in - without delay or miscommunication.
