The kids are back in school, the temperatures are cooling off nicely overnight, and you might be wondering whether you missed the boat on getting that new deck or patio cover installed this year. Fortunately, the pros from Golden Eagle Builders here in Reno are answering that very question: Can you have a new deck or patio cover installed in autumn in northern Nevada?
Outdoor Residential Projects In Autumn: Yes Or No?
The biggest hurdle to having a new deck or patio cover installed here in northern Nevada in August, September and October is how organized you are. The weather generally cooperates (wildfire smoke aside), so contractors’ schedules are usually quite full this time of year as they work on projects that have been scheduled. If you’re fortunate enough to find a reliable contractor with space on their calendar, the scope of your project is also a consideration. Some projects, such as attached decks and patio covers, require engineered drawings and permitting with the city for compliance, which adds to the timeline.
Keep in mind that a successful deck or patio cover project is really depending on finding the right company for the job, so this isn’t really a decision you want to rush. And if you find that your first choice is booked this season, take the opportunity to schedule consultations and begin gathering estimates so that your project is ready to roll as soon as the weather allows in the spring.
The Bottom Line
We’ve kept this post short and sweet, because the answer really is simple. Can you have a new deck or patio cover installed in autumn in northern Nevada? You certainly can, but that’s usually if you’ve already done the work to find a great contractor for the job. Companies with a great track record tend to book out quickly, which means making phone calls to discuss these types of projects now will likely land you on the schedule for spring. On the plus side, that gives you plenty of time to get organized. If you’d like to discuss your options, the team here at Golden Eagle Builders in Reno is happy to answer your questions.
