When the weather turns cold, many homeowners pause their plans and wait for spring. At River Valley Construction, we know winter is a great time to get ahead on your next home project — whether it’s designing a new home, tackling long-overdue repairs, or planning that dream outdoor space for next summer.
Here’s why winter is your window of opportunity.
Design/Build: Get a Head Start on Your Custom Home
Thinking about building in 2025? Winter is when smart homeowners start. Use the colder months to:
- Finalize architectural plans and selections
- Pull permits
- Lock in timelines with your builder before the spring rush
By starting design and permitting now, you’ll be ready to break ground as soon as the weather cooperates — and months ahead of those who wait until March. And, if winter weather is mild enough, we make progress all winter long.
Home Additions & Renovations: Beat the Busy Season
Remodeling demand spikes in spring and summer, but winter gives you better access to contractors and materials. Whether you’re expanding your kitchen, adding a home office, or creating a new primary suite, there’s no reason not to start now. Interior projects are completed all winter long and there’s no reason to wait to enjoy long-needed upgrades to your bath or basement.
Home Services: Handle Repairs Before the Holidays
From fixing trim and drywall to replacing doors, updating lighting, or tackling carpentry projects — River Valley Home Services is your partner in checking all those projects off your to-do list.
Scheduling now avoids the holiday crunch and keeps your home in top shape through winter.
Outdoor Living & UIP: Plan Now, Enjoy Next Summer
Dreaming of a new deck, screened porch, or outdoor kitchen? Winter is the time to plan and price it out.
With our Unified Install Program (UIP), we can get you a quote, finalize materials, and secure your spot in the spring construction queue — meaning you’ll be relaxing outside when everyone else is still doing all the prep-work. Start early, and your space will be ready when the warm weather hits. Take a look at our Facebook page for lots of deck design ideas.
Why Starting in Winter Pays Off
- Faster scheduling and better contractor availability
- More time for thoughtful design decisions
- Potential cost savings before spring price increases
- Less disruption to your busy summer
Winter isn’t downtime — it’s preparation time. The earlier you start, the smoother your project goes.
