Carpentry

  • Decks
  • Pergolas
  • Privacy Walls
  • Pool Decks

Projects such as decks, pergolas, and privacy walls are all possible to get started during the winter. Starting the construction in the winter allows you to enjoy your deck or other projects for the entirety of spring and summer, rather than waiting for it to be built. The lack of humidity in winter is also better for pressure-treated lumber to dry and treat, improving the appearance and condition of any carpentry project.

Fences

  • Wood
  • Chain Link
  • Vinyl
  • Ornamental
  • Pressure Treated
  • Composite

While it may be hard to install a fence when the ground is too cold to dig, fences can be pre-built and be ready for installation in the late winter or early spring. We are experts in building residential wood, vinyl composite, chain link and ornamental fences. Contact Conestoga Contracting to pre-build your fence this January or February to be installed in the spring.

3 Key Benefits of Winter Construction

There are plenty of benefits you get by choosing to start your construction projects in the winter. These include:

 

1. Contractors are more available and flexible

Most contracting companies are less busy during the winter months, which allows for less hurrying between projects. More time results in more attention to detail, better communication, and less stress for all parties involved.

 

2. Fewer delays for permits

Since there are fewer construction jobs taking place during the winter, permits are faster and easier to get. This makes for a much smoother and expedited process for any project you have in mind.

 

3. More free time in the warm months

Starting your project earlier in the season means more time for you and your family to enjoy quality time together at home. By the time the warm weather comes, you’ll have nothing to worry about except sitting back and relaxing!

If you live in Waterloo Region, Guelph, or the surrounding area, consider starting your project in the upcoming months and reap the benefits of construction in the winter.  Contact Conestoga Group today for a consultation.
