Let’s be honest—if you’ve been living in your home for a while, you’ve probably caught yourself thinking, “We could really use just a little more space.” Whether it’s a growing family, a new work-from-home setup, or finally creating that sun-soaked reading nook you’ve been dreaming about, a home addition is one of the best ways to fall in love with your home all over again.
But the question is—when should you start?
We’ll tell you straight up: spring is the smartest time of year to kick off a home addition project. And if you’re in Delaware, ON or nearby, Silver Ridge Design Build is ready to help make that happen—smoothly and stress-free.
Spring Offers Ideal Conditions for Building
Ontario winters aren’t exactly construction-friendly. The ground is frozen, snow piles up quickly, and short daylight hours make progress difficult. But spring? It’s the sweet spot.
With milder temperatures, longer days, and thawing ground, spring provides an ideal window to begin construction. It’s easier to pour foundations, frame structures, and get a solid start before summer heat—or scheduling delays—interfere.
And let’s not forget: when we begin in spring, your new space is more likely to be finished and fully functional by late summer or fall.
Early Planning Sets You Up for Success
Think about where you want to be six months from now. Hosting family dinners in a brand-new dining space? Enjoying morning coffee in a sunroom overlooking the yard? Giving your teens—or in-laws—a comfortable space of their own?
Starting in spring gives us time to design, secure permits, order materials, and build without rushing. And when you work with Silver Ridge Design Build, we handle all of it—from the initial consultation to the final walkthrough—so you never have to feel overwhelmed or unsure.
Since 2018, we’ve been designing and crafting fully customized spaces, dedicated to creating seamless additions that blend naturally with your home.
