How to Keep Construction Projects on Track During Harsh Weather

Working in Northeast Ohio means dealing with unpredictable weather — heavy snow, freezing temperatures, high winds, and sudden rainstorms that can disrupt even the best-planned construction schedule. For contractors, staying productive during harsh weather isn’t just about comfort; it’s about meeting deadlines, protecting materials, and keeping projects profitable.

At Apollo Supply, we understand the unique challenges local contractors face throughout the year. With decades of experience serving the Greater Cleveland–Akron area, we provide the materials, delivery options, and support systems contractors need to stay on track no matter what the forecast brings.

Here’s how partnering with Apollo can help you keep your projects moving — even when winter hits hard.

Plan Ahead With Reliable Material Ordering

Cold weather construction is all about preparation. Delays often happen when materials arrive late, get stuck in transit, or aren’t available locally. That’s where Apollo Supply makes a major difference.

Because we're a local, family-owned distributor with multiple Northeast Ohio locations, contractors benefit from:

  • Consistent inventory of windows, siding, roofing, and doors
  • Faster turnaround times than national suppliers
  • Six-day-a-week availability for urgent orders
  • Local deliveries that won’t be slowed down by cross-state shipping

By ordering key materials ahead of major weather shifts, contractors can prevent last-minute delays and keep crews working as long as conditions allow. With our knowledgeable team available to help you plan what you’ll need for upcoming phases, you’ll avoid shortages, backorders, and unnecessary downtime.

Protect Materials With Proper Handling and Storage

Harsh weather doesn’t just slow construction — it can damage materials if they’re not stored correctly. Snow, ice, and moisture can warp siding, affect roofing integrity, or compromise window components.

Apollo Supply supports contractors with tips and solutions for safe storage, including:

  • Guidance on moisture-safe handling for windows and doors
  • Recommendations for roofing and siding storage during extreme cold
  • Delivery timing that minimizes exposure to bad weather
  • Options to stage materials closer to job sites to reduce damage risk

Because we understand the local climate, our team helps contractors plan deliveries in a way that keeps materials protected, dry, and installation-ready.

Use Apollo’s Fast, Local Deliveries to Adapt to Weather Changes

Winter weather can shift in hours — especially in the Cleveland-Akron area. Having a partner that can adapt quickly is essential.

Apollo’s delivery advantages include:

  • Local drivers who know the area and weather conditions
  • Faster routes from nearby branches (Cleveland, Willoughby, Sheffield, Akron)
  • Short-notice delivery support when weather windows suddenly open
  • Communication that helps you schedule crews efficiently

Instead of losing full days waiting for national carriers, you can rely on us to get materials to your site safely and on time — so your team can take advantage of every workable hour.

Choose Materials Designed for Harsh Weather Performance

Apollo Supply carries products from top manufacturers known for durability and long-term performance. Whether you’re working on roofing, siding, windows, or entry doors, choosing the right materials helps you maintain quality even during challenging conditions.

Our team helps contractors select materials that offer:

  • Better cold-weather installation performance
  • Improved energy efficiency for 2026 building standards
  • Advanced moisture resistance
  • Long-lasting durability during freeze-thaw cycles

With expert recommendations, you avoid callbacks, ensure smoother installs, and maintain high standards year-round.

Stay Productive With a Local Partner Who Puts Contractors First

The most successful contractors don’t face harsh weather alone — they rely on strong partnerships. With Apollo Supply, you get:

  • Local expertise
  • Personalized support
  • Consistent inventory
  • Fast delivery
  • Material guidance
  • A team that cares about your timeline and your success

We help keep your schedule moving, your materials protected, and your projects profitable — even when Ohio weather doesn’t cooperate.

Keep your jobs running strong this winter.
