Weatherstripping

Doors and windows that close snug, with no more drafts around the edges.

Weatherstripping is the seal around the edges of your doors and windows, where they open and close. Every time you use them, it gets compressed and worn. Over time it flattens, cracks, tears or comes loose, and stops sealing.

That's why a door can be drafty even when it's shut tight, or why you can hear a whistle on a windy day. We remove worn weatherstripping and install new seals so your doors and windows close snugly again.

Questions

Weatherstripping FAQ

How long does weatherstripping last?

It wears with use and age, so it doesn't last forever. The best guide is its condition: if it's flattened, cracked, torn or no longer seals, it's time to replace it.

How can I tell if mine is worn out?

Look for weatherstripping that's flattened, cracked, torn or missing. If you can see daylight around a closed door or feel a draft along its edges, the seal isn't doing its job.

What's the difference between weatherstripping and a door sweep?

Weatherstripping seals the sides and top of a door, and the edges of windows. A door sweep seals the gap at the bottom of the door. Many drafty doors need both.

Can you replace weatherstripping in the winter?

Yes. We work year-round, including winter.
