Spring is here, and with it comes longer days, warmer weather, and the perfect opportunity to tackle those outdoor repairs and upgrades you’ve been putting off. After months of cold temperatures, wind, and rain, your home’s exterior, deck, fence, and outdoor structures may need some attention. Whether you’re looking to restore, refresh, or rebuild, spring is the ideal season to get it done.
At Reed’s Remodeling, we specialize in decks, fences, siding repairs, and other exterior projects, helping homeowners prepare their homes for the seasons ahead. Here’s why spring is the best time for outdoor home improvement projects and what upgrades you should consider.
1. Ideal Weather for Construction & Repairs
Spring brings mild temperatures and lower humidity, making it the best season for outdoor work.
🌿 Why spring is better than summer or winter:
- No extreme heat – Summer heat can slow down construction and cause materials to expand.
- No freezing temperatures – Winter conditions make it difficult to work with certain materials like concrete, wood, and paint.
- Dryer conditions – Spring showers are light compared to heavy winter rain, reducing delays in outdoor projects.
2. Repairing Winter Damage Before It Gets Worse
Winter can be rough on your home’s exterior, causing wear and tear that may lead to bigger issues if left unaddressed.
🔍 Common post-winter damage to look for:
✔ Cracked or splintered wood on decks and fences.
✔ Peeling paint or damaged siding from moisture buildup.
✔ Loose railings or warped boards that need reinforcement.
✔ Gutter damage from heavy rain and ice buildup.
🔨 How Reed’s Remodeling can help:
- Deck refinishing & repairs – Strengthening, re-staining, and sealing.
- Fence repairs & installations – Fixing broken sections or installing new fencing.
- Siding and trim work – Fixing cracked or faded siding for a refreshed look.
Taking care of these issues in spring prevents bigger problems in the summer and beyond!
3. Perfect Timing for Deck & Fence Upgrades
Your deck and fence take a beating from the elements, and after winter, they may need repairs or a full refresh.
Deck Upgrades & Repairs
✔ Power washing & staining to remove dirt, mildew, and discoloration.
✔ Replacing rotted or loose boards to ensure safety.
✔ Upgrading railings and steps for a fresh, modern look.
✔ Extending or expanding your deck to add more usable outdoor space.
Fence Repairs & Installations
✔ Fixing broken pickets or panels damaged by wind or moisture.
✔ Repainting or staining to prevent wood decay.
✔ Upgrading to a new privacy fence for better security and curb appeal.
🔧 Why spring? Staining and sealing need moderate temperatures to cure properly, making spring the best time for these upgrades.
4. Boosting Curb Appeal Before Summer
If you’re planning to sell your home or simply want to make it more attractive and welcoming, spring is the best time to update your home’s exterior.
🏡 Easy outdoor upgrades that make a big impact:
- New paint or stain for your front porch or deck.
- Updating exterior lighting for pathways and porches.
- Repairing or repaving driveways and walkways.
- Installing new gutters or fixing drainage issues.
Making these improvements before summer ensures your home looks great for backyard gatherings, barbecues, and outdoor entertaining.
5. Get Ahead of the Summer Rush
Spring is the best time to schedule outdoor work, before contractors get fully booked for summer. By planning ahead, you’ll:
✔ Avoid long wait times for repairs and installations.
✔ Have your outdoor space ready for warm-weather enjoyment.
✔ Lock in lower costs before peak-season price increases.
