When you hire our thorough Lehi weatherproofing service team, they will complete the necessary inspections and use professional tools to detect air leaks. Often, our customers hire our Lehi weatherproofing services to replace old, outdated materials. While store-bought materials can be of good quality, it is important that you pick the right one for the right purpose. Besides that, weather stripping requires some expertise and experience to apply correctly.
Lehi Weather Proofing for Doors
You use your front and back doors regularly and the occasional door slamming doesn’t really do your door frame any good or the structure as a whole. Existing caulk underneath the frame will break over time or the frame itself will suffer from cracks and holes. Furthermore, the door itself could fall out of alignment and call for repair. Or it is time for a new door installation to restore your door’s energy efficiency. You won’t know until you call the pros for a detailed diagnosis. Lehi weatherproofing for doors can entail something as simple as adjusting shim hinges, strike plates, and door latches. If you prefer a tighter seal between your door and door jamb, our professional handyman can install a high-quality V-seal strip (also known as tension seal), which is typically made of metal or plastic material. Some homeowners also prefer installing either a bristle sweep or a silicone-based door sweep at the bottom of their door. All these weather-stripping installation options serve well as draft blockers, but there is also something else to consider.
Our Lehi weatherproofing team will take a closer look at your door frame. It’s easy to believe that using wood filler to fix the cracks will do the job, but it’s also important to inspect underneath the framing. If we detect air leakage in the area, our handyman professionals will remove the framing and ensure that any gaps and broken caulk beads are fixed. Taking care of the exterior door frame is also important, if not more. Here is where our caulking service becomes an essential part of weather stripping. Before caulking your exterior door frame, there is much housekeeping that needs to be done. It includes removing old sealants, and old caulk residues, and cleaning. On some occasions, where there is a huge gap between the wall and framing, we install a foam-based backer rod before we seal that space. Proper caulking service ensures that any joint areas are airtight and waterproof and that you’re protected from water intrusion, water damage, and pest infestation.
Lehi Weather Proofing for Windows
Weather stripping or weather sealing your windows makes them airtight. But before you apply it, it’s important to ensure that your windowpanes and window frames are in good condition. Otherwise, weatherproofing won’t help. Our skilled handyman team cares about practical, cost-effective solutions. So, if we detect any underlying issues, such as damaged glass panes, we’ll be honest about our findings. We’ll help you make an informed decision about repair and replacement options.
Apart from that, high-quality weatherproofing on your window sash, sill, and frame could greatly reduce your monthly energy costs and enhance your indoor comfort. Similar to doors, there are also many draft-stopping options for your window. But before you purchase a window insulator kit, allow our Lehi weatherproofing experts to check for underlying issues that you may need to address first. Plus, we’ll ensure you that we’ll use high-quality materials to properly seal your windows.
