What are the benefits of installing a storm door on your home?

• Reduces energy bills

  Adding a storm to your home has a number of energy saving benefits. The space between a storm door and the exterior entry door creates an insulating layer that keeps the warm air in and the cold air out in the winter. In the summer months, it works in reverse by helping to maintain the cool air in your home while keeping the hot humid air outside. This results in less of a demand on your heating and cooling systems which should enable them to last longer.

• Increases security & protection

  By installing a storm door to the existing exterior doors of your home, you are adding an additional layer of protection and security. A locked storm door makes it much more difficult for an intruder to enter your home.

• Increases home comfort

  Many homes have an entry door that is not properly sealed against the weather which can lead to air leaks and drafts entering the home.  Your home will feel uncomfortable especially on cold and windy winter days. One of the best solutions to reduce or eliminate this problem is to add a professionally installed and sealed storm door. With a new storm door installed, you will immediately notice an improvement and feel more comfortable in your home.

• Adds light inside your home

  One of the biggest benefits of having a storm door is that it will allow more sunlight to enter your home. Open your main entry door while keeping the storm door closed and you will substantially increase the natural light in your home. This is particularly beneficial if you have an solid entry door or dark entryway.

• Updates the look of your home

  Installing a new storm door can dramatically improve the look of your home and immediately increase your home’s curb appeal. You can choose from a wide range of colors, styles, hardware options and glass design to suit your personal preferences and match your home’s architecture style.

• Increases airflow throughout your home

  When the weather is nice outside, you can utilize the storm door’s screen option to enjoy the breeze as it flows through your home. Let the fresh air come in while you enjoy the inside of your home.

• Keeps the bugs out & and the pets in

  A storm door allows you to keep your main entry door open while using the screen on your storm door to protect you from flies, mosquitoes, bees and other pests. This screen option also allows your pets to experience the outdoors while keeping them safe and secure inside.

• Protects the main entry door

  A storm door adds a layer of protection to your main entry door. By installing a storm door, you are preventing rain, snow and ice from reaching your front door. This protects the finish on your front door which will reduce maintenance costs over time.

• Reduces street noise

  A new storm door adds a layer of protection to buffer outside noises. With less street noise intrusion, you will be able enjoy a quieter more peaceful environment inside your home.

Flat Pack and IKEA Furniture Assembly

Many of these “Ready-To-Assemble” furniture kits have over a hundred parts and pieces which can be confusing and overwhelming for busy homeowners. Take the hassle out of trying to assemble the furniture yourself and let me take care of it for you. I have the tools, skills and experience to put together just about any type of ready-to-assemble or flat-pack furniture from IKEA, Amazon or other online retailers.

Should you try to assemble your furniture yourself?

The most important skill required to assemble flat-pack furniture is patience! Most people can figure out how to put together their new furniture as long as they have plenty of time and patience. The assembly process can be frustrating and overwhelming. There can be hundreds of small parts, similar looking pieces, different length screws or the instructions may be poorly written or missing. 

If you attempt to assemble the furniture yourself, you will most likely need some basic hand tools. The tools you may need are: a Phillips and flat head screwdriver, an adjustable wrench, pair of pliers, a small hammer, cordless drill and a utility knife.

Even with the right tools and plenty of time, assembling the furniture can result in a very frustrating experience. During this process, you’ll need to be careful not to scratch, break or damage the pieces of your new furniture kit as you are trying to put it together.

How much does it cost to assemble furniture?

With such a wide variety of ready to assemble furniture options available, it’s difficult to determine how much it will cost to assemble any one piece of furniture. Some furniture kits consist of only 20 or so pieces while others have well over a hundred parts. One piece of furniture may take less than an hour to assemble while larger more complicated pieces, like a wooden playground set, may take an entire day. Knowing the overall furniture size, number of pieces in the package and fastening methods (screws, nails, glue, wooden dowels, etc.) will help determine how long the assembly process will take and how much it will cost. 

Whether you’re overwhelmed after unboxing a ready to assemble furniture kit or you are thinking about buying a piece of furniture and will need to have it assembled, I recommend you contact me using the link below so that I can provide you with an estimate of how much it will cost to assemble.
