Deck Building in Cold Weather vs. Summertime Temps

The Kansas City area can experience many days of extreme heat throughout the typical summer season.

While high temperatures and sunshine are great for pool-goers or those, who love being indoors in any season, they are not preferred by our Kansas City deck builders. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the United States has approximately 1,300 heat related fatalities annually. Construction workers are among the most at-risk U.S. residents for heat related illnesses and death. Our deck building teams much prefer working in 40°F over 90°F. However, the benefits of building after summer do not just pertain to our deck builders. You can benefit also.
