Remodeling in 110 Degree Heat: What We Do Differently
Southern California summers are not normal. Here is how we adjust materials, crew schedules, and cure times when the forecast hits triple digits.
We build in heat that most of the country would call unworkable. 105 to 115 degrees in July and August is routine. Here is how we adjust.
Crew schedules shift
Start at sunrise, shut down interior trades by early afternoon, protect crews and keep productivity up. OSHA heat rules matter and we follow them.
Material handling
Adhesives, caulks, and some paints have a cure window. We store materials in shade, schedule application at the right time of day, and never shortcut open times.
Concrete and stucco cure
Concrete poured in 110 degree heat flashes fast if we are not careful. We mist, cover, and sometimes add retarder to give it the cure time it needs.
HVAC sequencing
We keep the existing AC running as long as possible during a remodel. When we tie in new ductwork, we plan it around the hottest weeks.
