Your questions, answered.
Straight answers about inspections, our services, the warranty and scheduling.
Inspections & Estimates
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. There's no charge for the inspection or the estimate. We'll come out, find where cold air is getting into your home, and explain what we found. You'll get a clear estimate, and what you do next is entirely up to you.
How long does the inspection take?
About 15 minutes. We'll walk through your home with you, check your doors and windows for failed caulk, worn weatherstripping and gaps under doors, and ask which rooms feel coldest.
What do you look at during the inspection?
Your exterior doors and windows: the caulk around each window frame inside and out, the weatherstripping on doors and windows, and the door sweeps at the bottom of exterior doors. We'll also ask where you notice drafts most.
Will I know the cost before you start?
Always. Before any work begins, you'll get a clear estimate showing what we'll seal and what it costs.
Our Services
What services do you offer?
Four services: comprehensive air sealing, window caulking (inside and out), door sweep installation and weatherstripping. All of our work focuses on stopping drafts around your doors and windows.
Which service do I need?
Weatherstripping seals the edges of doors and windows where they open and close. Door sweeps seal the gap at the bottom of exterior doors. Window caulking seals the gaps around window frames, inside and out. Comprehensive air sealing combines all three, based on what your home needs. Not sure? Your free inspection will show us exactly where the drafts are.
Do I need new windows to stop drafts?
Not always. Very often the window itself is fine and the draft comes from failed caulk or worn seals around it. Sealing those gaps can make a real difference in comfort. We'll tell you honestly what we see during your inspection.
Why is my house cold even with the heat on?
Often your heating system is working fine, but warm air is escaping and cold air is getting in through gaps around your doors and windows. Until those gaps are sealed, you'll keep feeling drafts no matter where you set the thermostat.
How can I tell if my weatherstripping or caulk is worn out?
Look for weatherstripping that's flattened, cracked, torn or missing, and caulk that's cracked, shrinking or peeling. If you can see daylight around or under a closed door, or feel cold air around a window frame, the seal isn't doing its job.
Do you work in the winter?
Yes. We seal windows and doors year-round, including winter, which is when drafts are easiest to find and feel.
Do you install insulation?
No. We specialize in sealing drafts around doors and windows.
Warranty & Insurance
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Our work comes with a 1-year warranty. If anything we did needs fixing within that year, we'll come back and fix it free.
Are you insured?
Yes. Just Right Weatherproofing is fully insured.
