January Home Maintenance Reminder – Weatherstripping and Caulking

It’s a new year and a new chance for you to commit to maintaining and improving of one of your largest investments, your home! Each month, we will highlight a home maintenance task or improvement project that is vital to the operation of your home and can increase your home’s value. We know schedules are hectic and you can’t always get to the tasks or projects that we will touch upon, which is why we want you to think of Handyman Connection as your go-to connection for all of your home improvement and maintenance needs!

If you live in an area where temperatures drop drastically in winter, caulking and weatherstripping is a very important maintenance task to take care of. Proper insulation of your home’s windows and exterior doors can help prevent heat loss, saving you money on your home heating bill. Homeowners in warmer climates, don’t think you can ignore your weatherstripping or caulking! When summer temperatures begin to rise, properly insulated windows and doors keep the cool air inside, where it belongs.

Both caulk and weatherstripping can deteriorate over time due to exposure to the elements, so give us a call 250-717-5500 to take a look and if we find that either needs replacing, we will provide you with a free, no-obligation project estimate.
