Summer is a great time to move forward with construction projects, thanks to longer daylight hours and typically drier weather. If you are planning a renovation, addition, or new build, now is the time to get started. The summer months offer ideal conditions for exterior work like roofing, concrete, and site development, which means your project can move forward efficiently without as many weather delays. Just be sure to communicate early with your contractor—summer is a busy season in construction, and schedules fill up quickly.
This time of year, also calls for special attention to heat safety. While crews are trained to work in warm conditions, you can help by providing shaded areas, access to water, or flexible scheduling when possible. If you are living near a construction site, expect early morning starts to help the crew avoid the hottest parts of the day.
Finally, June is a suitable time to think ahead. With storm season beginning in many areas, it is wise to check that your property is ready for summer storms. Talk to your contractor about drainage, roofing, and any protective measures to help safeguard your investment. Planning ahead now can save time, money, and stress later.
