Question 16

What happens if it rains during exterior work?

We monitor weather forecasts carefully and plan around poor weather. If rain arrives unexpectedly, we'll protect any exposed surfaces and resume when conditions improve. This never affects the quality of the finished work.

We recommend booking 1-2 weeks in advance for most projects, though we can often accommodate shorter timescales. For larger projects or during our busy summer months, booking 3-4 weeks ahead is advisable.
