Why Winter is the Best Time to Plan Your Fence or Deck with STL Fenceworks
At STL Fenceworks, we understand how important it is to make thoughtful investments in your home. As a family-owned business, we know the value of creating secure and enjoyable spaces for your loved ones. And just like in business, timing is everything. Winter might not be the first season that comes to mind for planning a new fence or deck, but starting now means your project will be ready to enjoy as soon as the weather warms up. Let’s explore why winter is the ideal time to begin your outdoor improvement plans.
1. Beat the Spring Rush
Spring is when everyone starts thinking about home improvement projects, which means schedules fill up fast. By planning your fence or deck during the winter, you can:
- Secure priority scheduling: Be at the front of the line when construction season begins.
- Avoid delays: Our team can dedicate more time to your project without the springtime rush.
Starting now ensures that your outdoor space is ready for use when it matters most—whether it’s for family gatherings, playing with pets, or simply enjoying the sunshine.
2. More Time to Perfect Your Vision
Winter provides the opportunity to thoughtfully design and plan your project. Whether you’re envisioning a classic picket fence, a modern privacy barrier, or a deck perfect for entertaining, this season gives you time to refine your ideas.
Let’s talk about what makes working with STL Fenceworks special:
- Top-quality materials: From Jerith aluminum ornamental fences to Homeland Vinyl Products, we offer durable and beautiful options.
- Custom designs: Wolf Serenity Decking provides natural-looking colors and long-lasting durability.
- Personalized guidance: Our team works with you to create a design that complements your home and meets your family’s needs.
With careful planning, your fence or deck will be tailored to your lifestyle and ready to enhance your home’s functionality and aesthetic appeal.
3. Take Advantage of the Offseason
Winter tends to be a slower season for contractors, which often creates more opportunities for flexibility in planning and potentially accessing competitive pricing. By starting your project during this time, you may find it easier to stretch your budget while still prioritizing quality and craftsmanship.
At STL Fenceworks, we understand the importance of balancing cost with the need for a durable and beautiful addition to your home. Winter planning gives you the time and space to make thoughtful decisions about materials and design, so your investment truly enhances your property.
4. Avoid Spring Weather Delays
In St. Louis and St. Charles County, spring weather can be a real challenge. Rain and muddy conditions often slow down construction projects, making it harder to stick to a tight schedule. By starting your planning in the winter, you can sidestep these issues entirely. Winter gives us the chance to prepare and get everything in place so that when the weather clears, we can hit the ground running.
Getting ahead of the unpredictable spring weather means you’ll have your fence or deck ready to enjoy as soon as the sunshine and warmer temperature returns.
5. Protect Your Landscaping
One of the biggest advantages of planning your fence or deck installation during winter is that most plants and grass are dormant. This means there’s less risk of damaging your landscaping during the construction process. Our team can work efficiently without worrying about disturbing your vibrant flower beds or lush green lawns, allowing your yard to come back to life beautifully in the spring.
Planning ahead also means we can help you design around existing trees and shrubs, ensuring your outdoor space looks its best when the growing season returns.
6. Be Ready for Spring and Summer Fun
Think about the first warm weekend of the year—wouldn’t it be great to already have your fence or deck ready to go? Whether it’s hosting a barbecue, letting the kids and pets play safely, or simply relaxing outdoors, having your project completed early makes all the difference.
STL Fenceworks specializes in creating spaces that provide security, functionality, and beauty, so you can focus on making memories with your loved ones.
