What to expect.
Weatherproofing is the cheapest energy upgrade in an older house. Most of the cold air in a Louisville winter comes in through the same handful of gaps: worn weatherstripping on exterior doors, a missing door sweep, dried-out caulk around windows and trim, and an unsealed attic hatch. Ken finds and seals them in a single visit.
He starts with a walk-through of every exterior door and window you point out, plus the usual suspects: the attic hatch, outlets on outside walls, and the gaps where pipes and cables go through. You get a list of what is leaking before any work starts, and the estimate is confirmed on-site.
Older homes need the most attention. Wood doors and frames move with Louisville humidity, original windows lose their glazing, and decades of paint hide gaps in the trim. Ken replaces and adjusts what is worn instead of covering it with another bead of caulk.

Questions homeowners ask before booking.
How do I know where my house is drafty?
On a cold, windy day, hold the back of your hand or a lit incense stick near door edges, window frames, outlets on outside walls, and the attic hatch. Moving air or a wavering smoke trail marks a leak. Ken does the same walk-through at the start of every visit and lists what he finds.
How long does weatherproofing a house take?
Two to four hours for most homes, depending on the number of exterior doors and windows. Doors usually take 30 to 45 minutes each, including a new sweep.
When is the best time to weatherproof?
Fall, before the first hard freeze. Caulk cures best above 40 degrees, so exterior sealing should be done before December. Interior work and door weatherstripping can be done any time of year.
Do you replace windows?
No. Ken seals and caulks existing windows and replaces worn window weatherstripping where the parts are available. Full window replacement goes to a window installer from the trusted pros list.
