Starting your project in the winter means we can work with you to create a detailed design, obtain the necessary permits, and lock in your place on our 2025 schedule.

    By planning your renovation now, you ensure that your project is prioritized, allowing us to create a comprehensive design that aligns with your vision. With less rush, we can focus on every detail to ensure your project is everything you hoped for and more.

    Winter is an ideal time to focus on the details: your dream finishes, functional layouts, and even those special touches that make a space truly yours.

    Get Ahead with Permits and Approvals

    Some projects, especially larger ones like home additions or basement renovations, require permits from local muncipalities. The permitting process can take several weeks (sometimes longer!), and getting a jump start in winter allows time to address any unforeseen obstacles. By getting permits in place early, we can avoid potential construction delays and ensure your project stays on track.

    Avoid the Spring and Summer Rush

    Spring and summer are peak seasons for home renovations, meaning contractors’ schedules fill up fast. Planning your project in the winter lets you sidestep the high demand, giving you access to top tradespeople without the rush.

    Starting your project now doesn’t just secure your timeline; it allows us to book trusted subcontractors and lock in material orders before the seasonal demand surge. This means more flexibility and fewer delays, which is exactly what every homeowner wants in a renovation.

    Make Use of Off-Season Discounts

    Suppliers often offer discounts on materials during the winter months, which can be a great way to stretch your renovation budget further. At Donmoyer Construction, we work closely with our suppliers to secure high-quality materials at fair prices, and winter planning can sometimes offer a cost advantage for your project.
