Key points

Spring (Mar–May) — Best for roofing, exterior painting, hardscape. Schedule 4–6 weeks out — capacity tightens after April.
Summer (Jun–Aug) — Peak demand. Kitchen/bath remodels start, ADU foundations pour. Expect 10–18% premium pricing.
Fall (Sep–Nov) — Best value window. Roofers and painters wrap their books — quotes drop 8–15% vs. summer.
Winter (Dec–Feb) — Interior-only work (kitchens, baths, flooring). Lowest demand = fastest start dates.
