Top Weather Stripping related questions

The cost of weather stripping can range from $7 to $18. This depends on the type of material and length you'll need for your home. You can install it on a sliding window or on door frames around your home. Specify the details of your task to get the best quote from local handymen offering weather stripping in your area.

You can install the material yourself. However, you will need to choose the right type of weather strip, do all the measurements, cut the material, install it yourself, and ensure there aren’t any air leaks. It’s great if you have the time and are good with your hands. If not, it’s best to leave it to a professional.

Not necessarily. Taskers typically have their own set of handyman tools to complete the job. However, you may need to provide the weatherstripping material itself. If you’re unsure of what you need, you can consult your Tasker. You can even ask them to drop by a hardware store and purchase other items required before arriving at your doorstep.

It varies depending on the type of weather your house or commercial property is exposed to all year round. It’s best to have a Tasker inspect your weather stripping at least once a year to determine if it needs to be replaced. If you notice any airflow or draft coming through, then it’s time for a replacement or to be reinforced.

Coincidentally, the materials used in sealing doors and windows are also called weatherstrippings. These are available at most hardware stores near you. Some of the common types are felt, tubular rubber, tape, closed cell foam tape, door sweeps, silicone, and vinyl weather stripping, to name a few. You can also ask your Tasker whether to choose vinyl or foam weatherstripping.

What do weather stripping services include?

Weather stripping is the process of sealing the space between doors, windows, and their respective frames. This protects the interior of your residential or commercial property from the elements, mainly rain and water, by redirecting or returning it out. Think of it as a way to make your windows and doors slightly waterproof or water-resistant. Deflecting water can lessen any water damage that may occur over time. 

 

Another important job of weather stripping is to insulate your space. Booking weather stripping near you can help you keep out cold air but keep interior air in to maximize your home’s heating and air conditioning systems. This, in turn, will save more energy and reduce costs. Another bonus is that it can also help you keep a few bugs out, and who wouldn’t want that? Here’s what to expect when booking commercial door or storm door weather stripping on Airtasker:

Checking which opening needs weather stripping

Weather stripping needs to be replaced every few years due to wear and tear. If you find any torn, cracked, or peeling areas, it’s time to have a Tasker take a look and replace them. Damage will be evident, especially if it’s a patio or exterior door’s weather stripping.

 

It’s also a great time to check if your windows or doors need repair. Maybe you’ve noticed cracks on your door frames or damage to your window sash? It’s best to have these fixed right away as it may affect your door or window’s weather stripping. Even if there are no visible signs of damage, you can let your Tasker check and assess as an extra precaution.  

Picking the right weather strip

Let your Tasker assess your window and door seals before purchasing the necessary materials or weather strip. Weather sealing is a relatively inexpensive and easy process. Rubber, foam, or vinyl weather stripping can easily be bought from your local store. More complicated sealing materials such as a tension seal, reinforced silicone, and interlocking metal channels can also be installed by professionals.

Preparing the weather stripping installation area

Before installing anything new, Taskers will first remove your old garage door or patio door’s weather stripping. They’ll also clean and smoothen it out so that it’s easy to measure and install the new material. Once done, your Taskers will take measurements of the door jamb, gaps, or window sash to ensure everything is accurately installed to prevent air leaks or any draft problems.

Installing and testing out the new weather stripping

Taskers may install a small seal or weatherstrip to your door and window and test it out to ensure it closes right. If that’s working, they will then install the material to the entire frame. When using silicone weather strips, they can stick them directly or fasten them through slot holes with screws. After installation, your Tasker can check for any air leaks and test them out to ensure your window or door closes properly. Your residential or commercial door weather stripping is complete!
