Why renovate the backyard in winter? It may be just the right time!
Winter is bitter and cold, often more so than we remember when we are in the height of summer. Even though Maryland has less snow and is warmer than other regions, it too can be freezing. Because of this, most Maryland homeowners do not think about going outside to bother with the landscape. Could winter be a time of outdoor living renovations many are missing out on? Below are several reasons why it might be smarter to activate your outdoor home improvement projects during winter.
Renovations Take Time
Renovations can take time, especially during this current season of pandemic-related delays. It takes time to find a contractor, finalize plans, order materials, and finally renovate the property. Depending on numerous factors, it can even take months to complete a project. Even with prompt, swift transactions, homeowners should always expect the unexpected, and that means delays. Winter is a good time to work on such projects, because by the time you are finished, it may be too late to fully enjoy it.
More Possibilities
While many contractors continue to be busy throughout the year, fall and spring are typically the most popular times to hire home improvement companies. At these times of the year, it can be unexpectedly challenging to find a contractor at all. In the off-seasons, it is more likely to find reputable contractors who can take on your project at a fair price.
Enjoy It Fully In Spring
As mentioned earlier, one can more likely enjoy the outdoor living renovations for more time if the project is completed by spring. If you work on the project during the spring or summer, it leaves you less time to enjoy it while the weather is warm. For example, few want to spend time in their pergola, pagoda, or gazebo when it is freezing outside, and few want to host a party on their deck or patio then either.
Better Weather Conditions
Many believe that taking on outdoor living renovations during winter is a bad idea. The weather would seem to be too difficult. However, this is not so. Although Maryland tends to be damp and wet year-round, winter is generally drier, which is better for working with wood.
