🌷 Spring – Repair and Refresh

⬜ Inspect weatherstripping around all exterior doors for signs of wear, cracking, or peeling

⬜ Check window seals and replace damaged or missing strips

⬜ Clean surfaces where weatherstripping is applied — dirt and buildup can weaken the bond

⬜ Re-seal attic or crawl space access doors for better air control

⬜ Test sliding doors for proper seal and function

💡Did You Know? Even a ⅛-inch gap around a door can let in as much air as leaving a small window open all day — sealing it can cut energy costs significantly.

☀️ Summer – Block the Heat

⬜ Check for drafts near windows and doors during the hottest part of the day

⬜ Replace worn-out stripping on garage entry doors to keep cooled air inside

⬜ Install or upgrade weatherstripping on attic hatches to reduce heat transfer

⬜ Ensure sliding windows and patio doors close tightly with no air gaps

⬜ Use adhesive-backed foam or vinyl strips to reinforce high-traffic entry points

💡Did You Know? Weatherstripping doesn’t just keep cold out — it also keeps cool air in during the summer, reducing your A/C use.

🍂 Fall – Prep for Cold Weather

⬜ Inspect and replace worn weatherstripping before the first frost hits

⬜ Add door sweeps to the bottom of exterior doors to block cold air

⬜ Recheck window seals, especially in older frames or wooden sashes

⬜ Upgrade to more durable materials (like silicone or rubber) for lasting protection

⬜ Seal utility openings (pipes, dryer vents, etc.) with weather-resistant caulk or gaskets

💡Did You Know? Proper weatherstripping can reduce your heating bills by up to 15% — and it usually pays for itself within the first season.

❄️ Winter – Comfort & Energy Savings

⬜ Monitor doors and windows for cold spots or drafts — even new seals can loosen

⬜ Reapply or press down adhesive weatherstripping if edges lift due to cold air

⬜ Use door snakes or temporary draft stoppers as extra insulation where needed

⬜ Keep garage and basement doors tightly sealed to prevent cold air from spreading

⬜ Plan weatherstripping upgrades in quiet winter months before spring rushes

💡Did You Know? Drafts are one of the most common causes of cold rooms — and one of the easiest fixes with simple weatherstripping services.
