Despite what conventional wisdom might suggest, the cooler fall months are the best season for construction. Falling temperatures not quite hitting the freezing mark with abundant sunshine allow homeowners to make the most headway on home improvement projects. Cool mornings give way to warmer afternoons, enabling you to break out of your comfort zone and tackle new projects without breaking a sweat. Although Big Box store ads urge DIY’ers to take advantage of “red hot savings” during spring, building materials are typically cheaper during autumn. Before cleaning out the gutters or winterizing your home, get a head start on time-sensitive add-ons or property upgrades this fall. Cooler weather and falling prices can also provide the ideal building environment for safe room installation.
Don’t Become Lulled Into Complacency By Calmer Weather
Most people forget about the chaos of storm season during the cooler fall months. We replace the horror incarnate of killer tornadoes and powerful hurricanes with guilty Spooky Season indulgencies while letting our guard down to real-world horrors. Storm season is never-ending. Hurricane Helene’s catastrophic flooding and Milton’s tornadic offshoots proved the nature of storms will become stronger due to Climate Change. Forecasters believe the 2024 Hurricane Season could run longer than the traditional November cut-off, with warming tropics potentially spinning up the Atlantic past Thanksgiving. A migrating Tornado Alley and a warming planet will continue to blur the nominal start and end dates for storm season as wintertime tornadoes become increasingly common. Unfortunately, hindsight is a charlatan’s remedy for ailing weather patterns. Investing in storm protection the day after the Storm of the Century is of little solace to communities decimated by stronger weather anomalies.
Fall is Best for Construction in Never-Ending Seasons of Change
If you grew up in the era of proverbs (because what American doesn’t like a good metaphor or positive spin?), you likely heard the saying that for “everything, there’s a season.” While it’s true that Mother Nature works in synchronicity to balance an intemperate planet, humanity has forever skewed this sacred balance with wanton destruction and degradation through inordinate carbon emissions. Tornadoes and destructive weather will soon no longer be outliers, with dangerous impromptu weather encroaching on winter months. Even fall weather has an eerily summer feel, as balmy days now outnumber tallies for sweater weather. Why not take advantage of Mother Nature’s supplemental warmer air by extending summer building projects into fall? While our pricing does fluctuate depending on the building economy, fall offers the best financial incentives to break ground on protecting what matters most.
Fall is the best time for launching new building projects, including above-ground or panelized safe room installation. Warmer fall weather precludes most early frosty November days, allowing you to break ground on new construction. What you won’t be saving in daylight with clocks falling back an hour, intrepid DIY’ers will gain in bonus fair weather construction days to take advantage of late season projects ideally saved for spring. Our panelized safe rooms are easy to install. Prospective clients only need a few hand tools, and an afternoon to kill to fortify existing infrastructure with superior steel technology. While we offer installation for select markets, many customers are well equipped to learn the tools of the trade themselves. Easily convert a home office, bedroom or closet into an economical, accessible, and common-sense approach to nascent whacky weather patterns. Contact us today for a free quote and consultation!
