Want to Boost Your Home’s “Warm & Dry” Factor? Think Windows and Doors

This week, we are replacing several outdated, leaky windows and doors for a local artist who lives and works in a carriage house in Philadelphia’s Callowhill neighborhood. We are installing color-coordinated, metal-clad wood windows and doors that will be much more energy efficient and low maintenance for our client.

In this case, the exterior grade is higher than the inside of the home — a common condition that can cause moisture issues. So, we selected a high exterior door threshold to help keep water out of the building. However, in winter months, the homeowner will still have to shovel snow away from the door to help keep this area dry.

While this is a prime time for customers to notice and act on drafty windows and doors, we happily do these projects all year round.
