Why Fall Is the Perfect Season for Demolition Projects in Maine

October 8, 2025

At Briggs Contracting, we’ve seen how taking advantage of the fall season can save time, money, and headaches down the road.

When most people think of fall in Maine, they picture colorful foliage and crisp, cool air. But for property owners planning a demolition project, autumn is also one of the best times to get the job done.


Cooler Weather, Better Working Conditions

Demolition is heavy work, and Maine’s summer heat can slow down crews and equipment. In fall, cooler temperatures mean faster, more efficient work — which often translates to cost savings for property owners.


Get Ahead of Winter Delays


Waiting until spring to start demolition might sound convenient, but winter in Maine can make projects more complicated. Snow, ice, and frozen ground create delays and safety risks. By scheduling in fall, your site is cleared and ready before harsh conditions set in.


Perfect Timing for Spring Builds


If you’re planning to build in spring, fall demolition sets you up for success. Once winter passes, your site is ready for immediate work, helping you avoid long wait times during peak building season.



Avoid Scheduling Backlogs


Contractors book up quickly in spring and summer. By working with Briggs Contracting in the fall, you’ll find more flexibility in scheduling — and a smoother start-to-finish experience.


Fall might mean the end of summer, but for demolition projects, it’s the perfect beginning. We are your Maine partner in demolition solutions for your home or business. Contact Briggs Contracting today to get your project moving before winter sets in.
