If You Want a New Fence or Deck This Summer, July Matters

Every summer, it happens. Homeowners finally decide they're ready for a new fence or deck... only to realize the season is already slipping away. By the time they start calling contractors, schedules are filling up and the project they wanted for summer starts looking more like a fall project.

That's exactly why July matters.

If you're hoping to spend the last part of summer enjoying a new deck or privacy fence, July is one of the best times to get your project started.

Many homeowners assume they can call a contractor in August and have the work completed a week or two later. In reality, most reputable contractors are already scheduling several weeks ahead.

A free on-site assessment in July gives you the best chance of having your project completed while there's still plenty of warm weather left to enjoy it.

Why July Is the Sweet Spot

By July, you've probably spent enough time in your backyard to know exactly what you'd like to change.

Maybe you're ready for more privacy.

Maybe your old deck has seen better days.

Maybe you're simply tired of putting the project off for "next year."

Booking an assessment now gives you time to:

• Discuss ideas and layout options.

• Receive an accurate quote.

• Choose materials that suit your home.

• Secure a place in the late summer schedule.

Instead of rushing into a project at the end of the season, you'll have time to make informed decisions.

Late Summer Is One of the Best Times to Build

August and September are excellent months for fence and deck construction.

The weather is typically more consistent, the ground is easier to work with than during spring thaw, and you'll still have plenty of beautiful evenings left to enjoy your new outdoor space.

Many homeowners are surprised by how much of the outdoor season is still ahead after Labour Day.

Don't Wait Until You Need It

One of the biggest mistakes we see is waiting until the moment you want to use your backyard.

If you're hosting family in August, planning a Labour Day barbecue, or simply want to relax outside before fall arrives, your project needs to start well before those dates.

Planning ahead gives you more flexibility and helps avoid disappointment if schedules begin filling up.
