Prime contractor availability 

Have you ever tried getting on a contractor’s schedule during peak season? It’s like trying to get a hold of the IRS during tax time — good luck getting through (in). Plenty of homeowners see summer as the opportune time to book contractors for their exterior projects, making it much harder to schedule during those times. brick&batten makes the process even simpler by pairing you with a contractor from our Pro Network.

During the winter months, contractors and exterior design professionals tend to have more open schedules. This means you can secure first dibs on their time and expertise, avoiding the long waitlists that often come with peak demand. By moving forward with winter home renovations, you’ll have more flexibility to coordinate timelines, make adjustments, and ensure your renovation gets the full attention it deserves. Plus, tackling the planning phase now allows you to lock in your preferred team before they’re booked solid for the warmer months.

Lower demand = lower costs

Winter is the off-season for many exterior renovation projects, which can work in your favor when it comes to costs. With fewer homeowners competing for contractor time and materials, you’re more likely to find competitive pricing on both labor and supplies. Contractors may offer discounts to keep their crews busy during slower months, and suppliers often run seasonal promotions to clear out inventory. Choosing winter home renovations not only helps you avoid peak-season premiums but also stretches your budget further, allowing you to invest in higher-quality materials or additional upgrades.

From siding and paint colors to doors and windows, there’s a lot to consider when designing your dream home exterior. Don’t let all the possibilities overwhelm you. Instead, let our team of expert exterior designers handle all the hard work. Learn more about our online exterior design services and exterior design pricing. 

Ready for spring and summer

Nothing kills the vibe of trying to relax and unwind in the sunshine of your yard like the beating and banging of contractors working on your home. Winter home renovations open homeowners up to an entirely different experience. While their friends down the street might have scaffolding casting shade over their yard, those who took care of business during the winter months can enjoy more ideal shade solutions, like a brand new pergola or a Spanish-inspired gazebo. 

Getting your exterior design project started in the winter means you’ll be ready to enjoy the results as soon as the warm weather hits. There’s no waiting around while everyone else scrambles to book contractors in the spring — you’ll already have a refreshed look to show off. A new paint color, updated siding, or fresh landscaping gets your home prepped and picture-perfect for outdoor barbecues, patio lounging, and all the other things you love about spring and summer.

Speedy design turnaround

Winter is the perfect time to take advantage of brick&batten’s virtual exterior design services, especially if you’re looking for a quick turnaround. Our team works efficiently to deliver custom renderings that bring your vision to life, complete with detailed plans and a curated shopping list. You’ll have everything you need to hand off to your contractor, so they can hit the ground running. Using brick&batten means you won’t have to wait for weeks or chase down details— we make the process seamless, so you can tackle your winter home renovations before those April showers roll in.

At brick&batten, we offer a range of comprehensive design services from a paint visualizer to 1:1 designer consultations. If you’re not sure which service best suits your design goals, you can schedule a free consultation to settle on a path forward. 

Streamlined shopping

When you team up with brick&batten, you get a detailed rendering. These renderings aren’t just a pretty picture of your exterior reimagined either. We list and link everything we recommend changing, from the light fixtures and garage doors to the planters and paint colors, on the rendering. Think of it as a shopping list for your home. You can grab the items yourself or hand the list off to your contractor (they might even have discounts) to take care of. Either way, this feature makes for seamless winter home renovations.

Avoid peak season delays

Starting your exterior design project in the winter means you won’t get stuck in the bottleneck of spring and summer renovations. During peak season, contractors are juggling multiple projects, and delays are almost inevitable. By getting ahead of the rush, you can sidestep the stress of scheduling conflicts or extended timelines. Without the seasonal chaos, you can relax knowing everything is ready to enjoy before the busy season begins.

Planning ahead also gives you the luxury of time to perfect your design. Instead of feeling rushed to make decisions during the spring frenzy, you can take your time exploring different options with brick&batten’s designers and working closely with your contractor. This means fewer compromises and more confidence in your final look. Plus, with fewer projects competing for attention, contractors can focus more on your renovation, ensuring quality work without the pressure of tight seasonal deadlines.

Prep for landscaping

Winter home renovations allow you to plan your exterior redesign and coordinate it with your landscaping goals. By finalizing your design now, you’ll have a clear blueprint ready when the planting season arrives. Whether you’re envisioning vibrant flower beds, lush greenery, or a perfectly placed stone pathway, having your home’s exterior updates done ahead of time ensures everything works seamlessly together. It’s all about creating a cohesive look that ties your home’s design to its outdoor spaces.

Another bonus? Starting early means you’ll have time to consult with landscapers and lock in your plans before their schedules fill up. You can also take advantage of winter downtime to source plants, materials, or garden features at discounted rates. When spring comes, you’ll be ready to dive straight into the fun part — watching your outdoor vision come to life.

Fewer distractions from outdoor activities

Little Sammy has a baseball game on Saturday while Sophia’s soccer team plays two back-to-back games on Sunday. The Palmers down the street are hosting a barbecue Friday night, and your in-laws are going to fly in any day for family time and a couple of day trips to the beach. Summer is busy. Toss in home renovations and the whole thing is one confusing whirlwind.

Winter is the ideal time to tackle exterior projects because you’re not missing out on your favorite outdoor activities. With colder weather keeping you indoors, renovations won’t interfere with summer barbecues, pool days, sporting events, or evenings on the patio. Instead, you can focus on updating your home now so that by the time the warmer months roll around, your outdoor spaces will be ready for full enjoyment. It’s a win-win — your downtime becomes productive, and your summer stays interruption-free.
