New York's weather plays a big role. Harsh winters mean people often do indoor projects, like drywall, when it's too cold to be outside. Then, warmer months see more construction. Permitting can vary a lot between cities and towns here. Always check local rules before starting big jobs. When you need drywall, look for pros who know how to work with different building types, from older homes to newer apartments. They should be able to handle the humidity and temperature swings.
