Season by season
| Season | Good for | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Fall (Oct–Nov) | Outdoor projects, roofing | End of hurricane season |
| Winter (Dec–Feb) | Outdoor and indoor; patio ready by spring | Occasional freezes, holidays |
| Spring (Mar–May) | Indoor; outdoor fills up fast | Heavy rain, busy schedules |
| Summer (Jun–Sep) | Indoor projects | Heat, storms and hurricane season |
Working backwards
- Want a patio cover by spring? Start design in the fall.
- Want a new kitchen by the holidays? Start by late summer to allow for cabinet lead times.
- HOA review and permits can add several weeks.
Common questions
Is winter a good time to build a patio cover in Houston?
Yes. Mild weather and fewer storms make it a good time, and the cover is ready when you want to use it in spring.
Can you pour concrete in Houston in summer?
Yes, with early starts and curing practices for heat. Rain is the bigger scheduling factor.
