Should You Hire a Builder to “Weather In” Your Home or Addition?

When it comes to creating more space for your family or building the home you’ve always imagined, every homeowner has different needs, budgets, and timelines. At Matthew 6 Construction, we believe you deserve options that fit your vision and your lifestyle.

Some of our clients choose to have us complete a project from start to finish, handling every last detail. Others prefer a different approach: they ask us to “weather in” their home or addition, which means we take care of the foundation, framing, roofing, windows, doors, and siding, so the structure is strong, secure, and protected from the elements. From there, the homeowner takes the lead on the interior finishes. And in some cases, clients even decide to take on the siding themselves as part of their savings strategy.

We’re happy to partner with you either way.

Why Some Homeowners Choose the “Weather In” Option

Save on Costs: Taking on projects like flooring, trim, or painting yourself can be a smart way to stretch your budget.

Make It Personal: Many clients enjoy finishing their space with their own hands, adding a layer of meaning and pride.

Work at Your Own Pace: With the structure protected, you have the flexibility to finish the interior when the time is right.

Our Role in the Process

Our responsibility is making sure the “bones” of your project are solid. With high-quality materials, careful craftsmanship, and clear communication at every step, you can move forward confidently knowing the structure is built to last.
