Winter and seasonal
Weatherstripping and draft stops
Door sweeps, worn weatherstrip, and the daylight you can see under the threshold.
A clean, expensive house that whistles at the front door feels unfinished. The fix is usually a sweep and a seal, not a new door.
We replace worn weatherstrip and sweeps on the doors you list, adjust the strike if the door is close, and stop if the door is twisted beyond a simple visit.
Included
- Sweep or seal on agreed doors
- Threshold adjustment when the hardware allows
- A test close before we leave
- Old material hauled off
How it is quoted
Quoted per door from a photo of the edge and the threshold.
Twisted doors, rotten jambs, and full door replacement are quoted only after we see them — often they are a carpenter, and we will say that.

Questions
How do you quote weatherstripping and draft stops?
Quoted per door from a photo of the edge and the threshold.
What should we do before you arrive?
Send photos in daylight, move cars off the work area, and tell us about pets, a pool, or plantings you are particular about. If this is a house call, send the list ahead so we can say half day or full day before we block the calendar.
What will you not take on?
Twisted doors, rotten jambs, and full door replacement are quoted only after we see them — often they are a carpenter, and we will say that.
