Today, we’ll be telling you what makes early spring the perfect time to install wood decking for your home.
The spring season is just about upon us, and with the new season comes warmer and more pleasant weather conditions. This warmer weather makes it more encouraging to get home projects done, especially ones that are done outside. One of these projects might be to get a wood deck installed. Today, we’ll be telling you what makes early spring the perfect time to install wood decking for your home.
Scheduling Appointments is Easier
While spring is an active time of year for decking contractors, activity doesn’t really pick up until mid-spring. If you schedule an appointment at the start of the season, you’ll be ahead of most people who are trying to get their decks built.
When planning a wood decking installation at the start of spring, you may also be able to get a better deal for the project since there tend to be good deals that are offered when contractors are in their off-season.
Staining Wood is Easier Due to Low Humidity
Winter brings plenty of moisture as a result of snow. Since wood absorbs moisture, which causes the wood to become damaged, it makes installing wood decking much riskier during winter.
Once spring arrives, however, the weather becomes much less humid. The risk of warped wood goes down significantly once spring comes around, meaning it’s a safer time of year to get your installation done.
You Get More Use Out of Your Wood Decking
You’ll likely want to use your wooden deck all throughout spring and summer, and perhaps even a little during autumn despite the drop in temperatures. If you wait until mid spring to begin installing your wood decking, it’s not going to be ready until the season is practically over. If you install your deck at the start of spring, however, your deck will be ready for use much earlier. You can hang out on your deck for the entire remainder of spring, while still getting all of the use from it during summer and autumn. Considering the money that goes into installing a wood deck, you want to get as much enjoyment from it as possible, and installing it earlier in the year helps you maximize how much enjoyment you can get from it.
