Weekly Recap: Working Through Winter & Preparing for a Busy Spring

As winter settles deeper into Iowa, the cold temperatures and harsh conditions are becoming a challenge — but at Knights Construction Co., our team keeps pushing forward. This week’s projects took us from new builds to remodel work, each one requiring extra care and creativity as the weather shifts. Even with the snow, wind, and freezing temps, our crew continues delivering quality work that homeowners can rely on.

Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to this week — and why now is the best time to start planning your spring and summer projects.

🏗 Garage Build Progress

We made steady progress on a garage project this week, even as winter tried to slow us down. Cold temperatures make framing and exterior work more challenging, but our team works efficiently to keep everything on track. Winter may be tough, but a strong plan and experienced crew make all the difference.

🏠 Home Addition Work

Expanding living space during winter is never simple. Weather delays, limited daylight, and frozen ground can all complicate a project. But even with the conditions stacked against us, we’re bringing this addition closer to the finish line. It’s a reminder of how important it is to start planning early — especially for larger exterior builds.

🔨 Full Demo at an Apartment Unit

We started a full interior demolition at an apartment complex — the perfect type of project for winter. Indoor work allows us to stay productive while outdoor conditions fluctuate. This project is now prepped and ready for the rebuild phase, and we’re excited to see the transformation unfold in the coming weeks.

🎨 Finishing Paint Work at Another Apartment

We wrapped up painting at another unit, giving the space a clean and refreshed look. Winter is an ideal season for interior upgrades like this — and our team is making the most of every day indoors.

❄️ Winter Challenges: Why Planning Ahead Matters

If this week proved anything, it’s that winter conditions make exterior construction far more difficult. Cold weather slows material curing, affects ground stability, shortens work hours, and introduces delays that simply don’t exist in warmer months.

That’s why now is the best time for homeowners to start planning their spring and summer projects — especially:

• Additions

• Decks and outdoor living spaces

• Garages

• Roofing and siding

• Concrete work

• New home builds

By getting on the schedule early, you avoid the winter bottleneck, weather delays, and rushed timelines. Early planning means:✔ Better pricing✔ Better scheduling options✔ Faster project completion✔ Less weather impact

🌤️ Looking Ahead

Even with winter working against us, our team continues to deliver the quality and reliability Knights Construction is known for. As we move into December, we’re preparing for new projects, wrapping up the current ones, and getting ready for a busy 2025 season.

If you’re thinking about an exterior project — big or small — now is the time to reach out.
