It might not feel like deck season with frost on the ground, but that’s actually the best time to start planning. While most people wait until spring, getting a head start means you can lock in pricing, beat the rush, and have your deck ready as soon as the weather warms up.
At Frazer Building Co., we help Michigan homeowners plan and prepare their deck projects during the winter so nothing slows you down once the ground thaws.
Planning now also helps you avoid the spring scramble. As soon as snow melts, contractors get slammed with calls and projects can get pushed back weeks or even months. By starting ahead of time, you secure your spot and your deck build moves to the front of the line. Prices for materials also tend to rise in spring when demand spikes, so early planning can save you money.
Designing and getting permits takes time. Before construction begins, there is measuring, layout planning, selecting materials, confirming details, and getting approvals. Winter gives us a chance to handle all that so you are not stuck waiting on paperwork when it is sunny.
Here’s what you can do now: meet with our team to design your deck, choose materials like composite boards, wood, lighting, or railing options, finalize your quote, and reserve your place on the schedule. If the weather cooperates, we might even start construction early.
Your future summer self will thank you. Planning now means less stress, better pricing, and more time enjoying your deck when Michigan warms up. Ready to get started? Contact Frazer Building Co. today to plan your custom deck.
