How does the weather affect job scheduling?
In our business more than any other the weather greatly affects our work schedule. Normally we can get our decks washed on their regular scheduled day. But sealing and staining is a whole different matter. If it rains we lose that day and the next. Two days of rain can wash out the entire week. If it’s to windy we can’t work. In the spring we like to see night time temps. 50 degrees for about a week before we start sealing with oil based seals. Sometimes we don’t see those temps till the end of May, then it could rain two or three days a week before we can get started. So in our line of work it’s important that our customers understand the situation.
