From Summer to Fall: The Perfect Window for Starting Your Home Build

As the summer season winds down across Hampton Roads and the first hints of fall appear, late August/early September presents a perfect opportunity to begin your next home project. With schedules shifting back into routine and cooler weather on the horizon, this short window is one of the smartest times of year to start building!


At K.M. Cash Construction, we’ve been helping families in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and beyond take advantage of this timing for over 25 years, guiding them through projects that add both comfort and long-term value! And with our team just a call away at (757) 278-4036, you can get started before fall calendars fill up.

Why Late Summer and Early Fall is the Best Time to Build:

1. Stay Ahead of the Seasonal Rush:

By starting now (before the fall rush), you lock in your project schedule and avoid the backlog that often comes once the holidays approach. Families who begin in early September are positioned to enjoy their new spaces well before the year’s end.

2. Ideal Weather for Steady Progress:

The late August/early September stretch often brings balanced, dependable weather in the Hampton Roads. This means fewer delays for foundation work, framing, and exterior details, which keep your timeline moving smoothly.

Home Build Ideas for Late August/Early September:

1. Add a Multi-Generational Suite:

With the holiday season only a few months away, now is the perfect time to plan for added guest space. A thoughtfully designed in-law suite with a private entrance, kitchenette, and its own living area gives visitors comfort and independence, while adding lasting functionality to your home. In the Hampton Roads, multi-generational living continues to grow, and a suite like this ensures your home adapts to family needs for years to come.

2. Design a Coastal-Inspired Great Room:

As schedules settle back into rhythm, families often crave a central gathering space. An open-concept great room, complete with vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, and seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, brings everyone together. Late summer is the perfect time to break ground on this type of space so it’s ready for hosting cozy fall dinners and lively holiday gatherings.

3. Build a Three-Season Porch:

Early fall evenings in the Hampton Roads are perfect for porch living. A three-season porch bridges the transition from summer to cooler weather with screened walls for breezy nights, retractable windows for crisp mornings, and options like stone fireplaces for warmth. Starting construction in early September ensures you’ll be enjoying the space right as the weather shifts.
