Seal the doors and windows against extreme heat and cold.

This home's exterior door and window weatherstripping near Quitman, TX is worn thin, and the seasonal swing from extreme summer heat to hard winter cold pushes conditioned air straight out through the gap all year round.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

resident permission record plus before/after photos plus compression/fit confirm

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Walk the resident's own home with the resident and inspect each exterior door and window for worn weatherstripping or a gapping door sweep that lets conditioned air escape; photograph each before treatment.
2. 2. Remove old, failed weatherstripping and clean the frame surface.
3. 3. Install new weatherstripping and a door sweep fitted flush to the threshold at each treated opening.
4. 4. Test each treated opening for compression, fit, and a clean close/latch, and photograph the finished install from the matching before vantage.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded permission from the resident
• Before and after photos of each treated door/window
• Confirmation that weatherstripping compresses evenly without binding the sash/door
• Door sweep fitted flush to the threshold with no daylight gap
• Every treated opening still closes and latches after installation

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

DIY Weatherization and Air Sealing. Air sealing is the cheapest energy work there is, and the Department of Energy has spent decades proving it: a tube of caulk and a roll of weatherstrip, placed where the cold actually comes in, beat almost any gadget you can buy. This standard keeps the work occupant-safe: no wiring, no combustion equipment, no disturbing old paint. Mastery looks like hands that can find a draft with a bare palm and close it for good. This packet is one home's worth of that: find the gaps, seal them, photograph the proof.
