Garage Build Progress in Harsh Iowa Weather — Built to Last

Winter construction in Iowa is never easy — but progress doesn’t stop just because the weather turns harsh. As shown in our recent garage build reel, our crew at Knights Construction Co. continues moving forward even in freezing temperatures, snow, and wind.

This project is a perfect example of what it takes to build right in the Midwest: the right materials, the right planning, and a team that understands how to work safely and efficiently in extreme conditions.

Building Through Harsh Weather

Cold temperatures bring unique challenges to construction. Snow-covered surfaces, frozen materials, and shortened daylight hours all require extra attention to detail. That’s why winter builds demand experience and discipline.

On this garage project, we’re using premium architectural shingles, known for their durability, thickness, and long-term performance. These materials are designed to stand up to Iowa’s weather — heavy snow loads, strong winds, and rapid temperature changes.

Building in winter means everything must be done correctly the first time. There’s no room for shortcuts.

Why Quality Materials Matter

When we choose materials, we don’t just look at appearance — we look at performance and longevity. Architectural shingles provide:

• Increased durability compared to standard shingles

• Better wind resistance

• A longer lifespan

• A solid, heavy feel that holds up in tough conditions

This attention to material selection is part of how we ensure every project is built to last, no matter the season.

More Than Garages — We Build It All

While this garage build shows our progress in challenging weather, it’s just one example of what we do.

At Knights Construction Co., we specialize in:

• Custom garages and shops

• Home additions and expansions

• New home construction

• Interior and exterior remodels

• Roofing, siding, and structural repairs

Whether it’s a single-car garage, a multi-bay shop, or a full custom home, we bring the same level of craftsmanship and planning to every project.

Built for Iowa Living

Homes and structures in Iowa need to be built differently. Weather extremes demand stronger materials, proper installation, and experienced crews who understand local conditions and building codes.

As a family-owned construction company based in Northeast Iowa, we take pride in building structures that are functional, durable, and designed for long-term comfort.

Planning Ahead Makes the Difference

Winter construction highlights the importance of planning early. Projects scheduled ahead of time move more smoothly and avoid unnecessary delays.

If you’re considering a garage build, new home, or major addition, now is the right time to start planning for spring and summer construction. Early scheduling allows for better timelines, material availability, and overall project success.
