You would think that things wouldn't be so hectic during this time of year at Otter Creek Sunrooms. After all, the holiday season has arrived and most of our sunroom construction projects have been completed for the year. But as a design specialist, this is also the season when I consult with "The Planners," the folks thinking ahead and planning next year's outdoor living areas: decks, awnings, and sunroom projects for the spring.
I really enjoy working with The Planners. I always try to take as much time as customers need to work through the design and planning process of every project. It is not unusual for a potential client's initial consultation at their home to be followed by
subsequent visits at our showroom or back at the site to review design ideas. Yet there is an urgency in the spring and summer months to reserve one of the remaining spots in our construction schedule. In December and January, The Planners and I have the luxury of a relaxed pace to design the details, knowing that we are working well in advance to schedule for a spring installation. I enjoy this relaxed pace and even feel that I'm able to get to know people better, which is one of my favorite parts of what I do.
The Planners also get the additional benefit of discounts that are not available during the hectic spring and summer. Our company appreciates the ability to schedule spring projects over the winter and we gladly extend a discount in gratitude for that consideration. But the best advantage to using the winter months for planning a project is that as the first installations of the year, these homeowners will not miss even one warm day enjoying their new outdoor living areas complete with sun room, deck or awning for the entire outdoor season!
If you're contemplating improvements to your outdoor living area for next spring, give us a call or visit the form on our web site to request a free estimate and design consultation. It isn't too early to research your options and establish your preferences, and it may be just the thing to look forward to during those cold days of February.
