Why Spring is the Best Time to Start Your Log Home

Spring is practically in the air, and with the season comes renewal. Earth wakes back up, plants return, and new life is born. When could be a better time to begin a home improvement project? Whether you’re building new structures or remodeling your current home’s interior or exterior, spring is the perfect time to get started on your log siding or paneling project.

Making The Most of Your Time

Beginning construction projects in the spring is the easiest way to give yourself the longest time window for completing the project before the snow interrupts your work. Winter just ended, so you have the rest of the year to plan, install and finish your remodel before snow returns. While you may have rainy days that slow down your project, it beats working in the cold, and the long summer days will make up for it.

Extra Funds Available

Plenty of homeowners wait for the year’s tax return to arrive to help fund their home renovation plans. Plus, aesthetic remodels on homes can help increase their overall market value so think of it as an investment!

Get Ahead of Busy Summer Schedules

Spring is often one of the “less busy” parts of the year – the holiday season has passed and summer plans are still months away. This means it’s a good time of year to give your full attention to a project.

There’s another reason to work ahead in spring. Contractors and builders are always at their most busy during the summer season, so it’s good to speak with them about your project earlier. If you wait, you could face a waitlist or backlog. Same with ordering supplies like your log siding or paneling. Ordering early can help ensure your wood arrives before your builders are ready. The last thing you want is your contractor waiting around for the supplies to arrive.

Better Comfort During Installation

Spring days have naturally good temperatures for working outside, but the nice weather doesn’t just benefit workers. Some renovations leave homes incomplete with open holes or missing insulation, and stable spring weather is a little easier to stay comfortable in during the installation period.

Enjoy the Finished Result in Time for Winter

Winter can be a tough time between the holidays and the snow, so wouldn’t you prefer to have your home renovation done and settled before that stuff piles on? Finishing before winter means your new space can be enjoyed instead. For shorter projects, completing a project during spring means the space is ready to be used for summer fun!
