BENEFITS OF BUILDING A COMPOSITE DECK IN THE WINTER MONTHS

Building Decks Year Round

Customers are always shocked to hear that Rock Solid Builders builds decks all winter long. We only build wood decks from March 1st to October 31st because we recommend all new wood be stained or sealed within 60 days from install and outside temperatures must be over 50 degrees to properly apply the stain. While most companies don’t build any decks outside of this timeframe unless it’s an unusually warm early spring or late fall, Rock Solid Builders builds Trex^® and TimberTech^® composite decks every winter over the 4 winter months because composite products don’t need staining or sealing.

Also, Rock Solid Builders is able to attract and maintain talented carpenters by offering our employees year-round work. This benefits the customer because they are still getting a high-quality built deck by having longtime Rock Solid Builders’ employees build their project. These talented carpenters value being with an established company that provides year-round work which helps with employee retention with all our lead carpenters being employed with Rock Solid Builders for many years.

Enjoy Your Deck When Spring Arrives

Customers also benefit from locking in current year pricing since the cost of Trex^® and TimberTech^® tends to increase at the beginning of every calendar year. Also, our build schedule tends to be booked out approximately 4+ months at any given time. The customers that have elected to take advantage of a winter build also benefit by having their deck fully built to enjoy the minute the weather improves. Also, their backyard is not being disturbed during normal times of entertaining outdoors. The customers that wait until spring to contact us are usually getting their decks installed in the summer or early fall since our schedule is always booked out well in advance. This can cause them to lose months worth of enjoying the deck plus can interfere with vacation or party plans over the warm months.
