Building a custom home can take several months — and because construction is very much affected by the weather, it’s only natural that prospective home buyers would wonder about what time of year they should start building. At Capstone Custom Homes, as long as we can dig the foundations, we can keep building homes — but there are still some times of year that are better than others.
Springtime Digs
Spring is a very popular time to start building, and for good reason. Thanks to milder weather, there is less wear and tear on the house as it is under construction. While our team can work around the limitations of winter weather, Ohio’s extreme conditions are not ideal for the exposed elements of the structure.
More Daylight
As we head toward spring, the days are getting longer — and that means we can work longer hours to make faster progress on your home. Mild, warming temperatures also ensure it isn’t too humid yet, which improves curing and drying for concrete, paint, and other materials. This can help speed up the completion timeline for your home.
Consider Landscaping
Your new property is more than just the house itself. Seeding the lawn and installing other exterior landscaping features will make a big difference for your curb appeal. By building in the spring, you can address landscaping needs around the same time as construction, ensuring that your property is truly “complete” by the time you’re ready to move in.
We are fast approaching the best time of year for building custom homes — so don’t wait! If you’re hoping to get started with your own custom build, contact us today. You may be able to move into your dream house even sooner than you’d expect.
