Winter is a wonderful time for everyone; it’s a signal that the holidays are fast approaching, workloads are steadily decreasing and on top of that it’s cozy and comfortable too. However, the cold can be a problem for some homeowners as it can easily enter your home through air leaks in your sliding doors. Luckily enough, there is a way around this.
In this article, Home Pro Exteriors, the experts in door and roof replacement services, lists the four ways you can prepare your sliding patio door for the upcoming winter, beginning with:
- Remove the Debris – During the winter season, make sure to remove the debris around your sliding patio door. This is because as the year goes by, your door can collect dirt and debris on the track, which can prevent your door from fitting properly in it. Once this happens, cold air from the outdoors can easily enter your home. With that in mind, make sure to sweep or vacuum if needed to remove unwanted debris from your door and allow it to close properly again.
- Invest in Weatherstripping – Eventually, the weatherstripping of your door can deteriorate and wear off. With that in mind, make sure to invest in new weatherstripping for your door and seal the edges to keep the cold air out. By doing so, you can reduce your heating costs for the season by a significant amount.
- Insulate With Plastic – On the other hand, if you live in an older home, consider shrink wrapping your windows. Thankfully, you can easily get these by buying window insulation kits at your local hardware store to create a barrier that reduces wind drafts. However, if you aren’t certain about applying these on your own or insulating your door by yourself, consider approaching Home Pro Exteriors, your number one expert in door replacement and roof repair services.
- Install Insulated Drapes or Window Treatments – If you don’t have the time to insulate your door or apply weather stripping, then consider installing insulated drapes or window treatments on your door. By applying insulated drapes like blackout curtains and cellular blinds, you can reduce the heat and energy you lose through your sliding patio door without having to apply weatherstripping or insulation.

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY
When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself…

We thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room! Thanks guys!
