Happy Thanksgiving! Hopefully you’ll have the opportunity to eat and be thankful with family and friends—maybe you’ll even have time for a few house projects? Christmas lights, gutter clear-out, or dare I suggest some winter prep?
It is vital that you determine the parts of your home that need an upgrade to prepare your home for winter. In this article, Perdue Builders & Supply provides you with a reliable checklist for the cold season.
Inspect Your Windows and Doors
Use a screwdriver to probe the trim surrounding your windows. If it feels soft to the touch or if you outright find holes, then you may have rotting trim. You should also check for air leaks and apply new caulking and weather stripping on worn out trim to prevent energy loss. As a reliable home improvement contractor in Seattle, WA, we offer windows that will help make your home cozier. We provide vinyl windows that can reduce heat buildup in your home. This will help lessen your reliance on your HVAC units, which can drive up your energy bills.
Install a Storm Door
Replace your screen door with a storm door to make your home more comfortable this coming season. Our storm doors will last for a long time, keeping cold air out and making your home cozier. You can choose from an array of colors and styles to match your home’s style. Our years of experience help us ensure that they are airtight, giving you peace of mind.
Check Your Decks
Remove leaves and dirt from the area between the boards of wooden decks to prevent mold growth. You should also check your deck for signs of rot or insect damage and treat it if needed. As part of our efforts centered on home improvement in Seattle, WA, we can also build you a quality deck. We can build you a wood-plastic composite deck that is beautiful without needing much maintenance. We can also make you a capped composite that can withstand the elements and comes with a surface that keeps dust and dirt at bay.
