Homes Built for Spokane’s Seasons & Climate

Eastern Washington experiences a range of climates and weather patterns throughout the year, from hot, dry summers to cold, snowy winters. At Brytech Construction, we prioritize designing homes built to withstand various seasons in Spokane. Our team carefully considers the variable weather of the evergreen state during the construction process to ensure that each home is durable and energy-efficient year-round. From using high-quality materials that can endure heavy snow loads in winter to implementing energy-efficient features that help regulate indoor temperatures in extreme heat or cold, our focus is on creating homes that are comfortable and resilient during every season.

Summer

During the summer months, Spokane experiences warm and dry weather conditions. Daytime temperatures typically range from the high 70s to the low 90s Fahrenheit, providing residents and visitors ample opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities. The climate in Spokane during the summer is characterized by clear blue skies and low humidity levels, making it ideal for exploring the city's parks, attending outdoor events, or simply relaxing in the shade.

To combat the heat of summers, Brytech Construction prioritizes ample insulation to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce the reliance on air conditioning. We strategically place directional windows to optimize natural ventilation and airflow throughout the spaces. By incorporating shading elements such as overhangs and covered back patios, our homes provide comfortable interior and exterior environments to help beat the heat. Considering these features early in the design process ensures that our buildings offer efficiency and comfort even in the hottest weather conditions.

Fall

During Fall, Spokane experiences a transitional period characterized by cooling and fluctuating weather conditions. The average temperatures in September range from the mid-70s to low 50s Fahrenheit, gradually decreasing as the season progresses. Fall brings vibrant foliage to the city as the leaves change color, creating spectacular fall foliage. However, Spokane also encounters increased precipitation during this time, with rain showers becoming more frequent towards the end of the season. Residents and visitors alike can expect crisp mornings, sunny afternoons, and the occasional overcast day throughout Autumn in Spokane.

To transition seamlessly with fall temperatures, Brytech utilizes high-quality insulation materials in the walls, floors, and roofs to ensure homes retain heat efficiently. All Brytech homes come with a heat pump, maximizing heating efficiency during the moderate fall months.  Energy-efficient windows and doors also maintain a comfortable indoor temperature while reducing heat loss. Through these aspects, homeowners can keep a cozy and sustainable living space that effectively combats the challenges of the fall season.

Winter

In winter, Spokane experiences cold temperatures, frequent snowfall, and occasional freezing rain. The city's location in eastern Washington exposes it to arctic air masses from the north, leading to below-freezing temperatures for extended periods. Snow accumulation is typical, but the city is well-equipped to handle the winter weather with snowplows and de-icing measures on roads and sidewalks. The cold, snowy conditions attract visitors seeking a winter wonderland experience.

Brytech focuses on insulation, energy efficiency, and durability for a cozy, cost-effective winter-ready home. Proper insulation in walls, floors, and attics retains heat and reduces energy costs, while double-pane windows minimize heat loss. Our energy-efficient 95% gas furnace systems included with all Brytech homes also help maintain a comfortable temperature while reducing energy consumption. The durable materials used in our construction can withstand harsh winter conditions such as snow, ice, and freezing temperatures.

Spring

Spring in Spokane brings a mix of weather patterns. Temperatures typically range from the high 30s to the low 60s Fahrenheit in March, gradually warming up to the 50s and 70s by May. Rainfall is moderate, with occasional snow showers in early spring. The climate can be unpredictable, with sunny days quickly turning into cool, cloudy afternoons.

Combating the unpredictable spring weather and climate requires strategic construction decisions. We choose durable materials to withstand sudden temperature changes, heavy rains, and occasional snowstorms. To help maintain a comfortable and regulated indoor environment, we ensure proper insulation, adequate ventilation, and energy-efficient windows. We also incorporate features like sloped roofs to prevent water buildup, double wall lap siding systems to add weather and cold resistance, and a well-draining foundation to endure the challenges posed by the spring weather and climate of the eastern Washington region.

At Brytech Construction, we pride ourselves on building all-season homes, which means our houses can easily and efficiently endure every month of the year. Trust Brytech Construction to create a home you can rely on from season to season.
