We have already helped many clients lower their heating bills and warm up their home by winterizing.

The New York Times contributor, Jay Romano wrote, “An eighth of an inch wide gap alongside an exterior door is roughly equal to a one inch hole in a wall.” It looks small, but any little opening will make your home cold and cost you more money. The American Council on Energy-Efficient Economy, based in Washington DC, stated that heat loss around windows typically accounts for approximaetly 25% of a households heating bill during winter.

Let us explain winterizing.
We have a few tricks up our sleeves.

Does My Place Need Winterizing?

If the flame flickers or the incense smoke moves you have drafts. Contact us, Team Handy Dan and we can set up a time for us to make your home warm and cozy. We have over 100 five star reviews.

Team Handy Dan can help keep bugs and nasty mice out of your home.

Those mice and bugs all look for someplace warm in the winter too. That small opening under your sink or around your door is just an open invitation to bugs and rodents to move on in during the cold winter months. We will close up those openings and stop mice and bugs from coming in your home. Weather-stripping, foam, steel wool, caulk make it not only warmer in your home, but make it harder for unwanted germy pests to get in.

Landlords and Property Owners Benefit from Weatherstripping too!

Landlords can also benefit from winterizing their properties. Do you have a property that tenants never stay long-term? Are you always losing money when trying to find a new renter? With this in mind, lets look at the problem from another angle. Of course Landlords can make their tenants happy by making the property more comfortable and more affordable for the renter. We can winterized the property for you. Along with all the already mentioned ideas consider adding attic insulation. Studies show that a majority of the heat escapes through the roof if there is less than ideal insulation. Adding attic insulation will just keep that tenant warm and happy. Happy tenants usually renew their leases year after year.

Landlords don’t forget about your building’s gutters and roof drains. Obviously, cleaning out gutters keeps the water away from the structure. Snow in a clogged up gutter will cause water to accumulate. Not to mention, water causes leaks and wood damage. With this in mind, your property is a major investment. Don’t lose money by not keeping those gutters clean. Therefore, prevention is cheaper than a major costly repair.
