Punxsutawney Phil didn’t see his shadow, so he’s saying we’re in for an early spring, so what are you waiting for?

我知道在密歇根州,我们没有太多的冬天,我们的温度徘徊在平均水平上高于平均水平,我们当然还没有每年这个时候吹嘘的那种降雪。

窗口打开as the weather continues to flip-flop,因此您可以轻松地上升春季考虑的那些项目。

在密歇根州的Raterofoam,我们真的一直在鼓励与我们合作的房主利用天气,并在他们的家庭装修项目中获得启动。没有像现在这样的时间,无论春天是否早起,我们都会在所有条件下工作,所以让我们在您家中获得这种美丽的泡沫。

许多房主选择从春季开始:壁板,窗户和绝缘材料有三个重大改进。

现在要解决的春季家庭装修项目

There are some projects that make the most sense to tackle when the weather and sun are cooperating, but then there are some that are beneficial to jump on now before contractors get too busy.

一旦天气开始良好,壁板,窗户和绝缘时间表就会很快填满,但这些也是现在可以摆脱困境的项目。

Let’s check out these projects to finish while Mother Nature is avoiding the winter funk with unseasonably warm temperatures.

Adding New Siding on the Outside Your Home

与天气有关的新壁板可能是一个棘手的项目,因为当温度在冬季或夏季极端时,您不想这样做。

对于乙烯基壁板尤其如此,因为它倾向于对这些极端温度更敏感。目前,我们在美国看到的这个非常温和的冬天可以对您有利。

通常,安装壁板的最佳时间是秋天,因为由于一年中的时间和安装的易用,您可以节省报价的钱according to Modernize。由于所有的水分和雨水,四月和可能不是增加壁板的最佳时期,但是冬季的异常温暖的结局可能很合适。

Here in Michigan, we haven’t seen a ton of rain and the temperatures are right around the 32-degree mark making it the fourth warmest January in Michigan on record, except for the random Thursday when we get 4-inches of snow because Mother Nature remembered it is indeed winter.

This gives you the opportunity to reach out to your local siding contractor to see if they are taking advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and can get you on their schedule.

Replacing Leaky Windows

Those old windows of yours are sucking all of the heat out of your house and letting all the cold air in.

您不需要生活中的那种消极情绪,这就是为什么这种温暖的冬季天气成为您的朋友的原因。

就像我们的时间表在RetroFoam Michigan, contractors who install windows get very busy once spring hits. If you don’t want to wait weeks on end to get those new energy efficient windows, do it now while it’s unseasonably warm.

我知道您在想什么 - 如果天气再做另一个手推车,并且您按计划进行,实际上是外面的冬天?经验丰富的Windows承包商可以快速完成工作,并且知道哪些粘合剂和产品无论多么冷,仍然可以很好地发挥作用。

Adding Foam Insulation to Your Home

Foam insulation installers are beasts who can installspray foamand注射泡沫no matter what the weather is.

话虽如此,冬季利用休息是理想的原因。

在春季之前解决房屋绝缘的最大优势是您正在密封building envelope.这意味着泡沫正在在整个居住空间中产生障碍,在这里,您要供暖的空气留在家里。

冬季,阁楼和爬网空间是家中两个疼痛点。这是因为爬行空间正在吸入冷空气,导致冷地板和不舒服的房间。热量上升,所以阁楼使您的所有温暖air to escape through the roof.

用喷雾泡沫击中这两个斑点,并在墙壁上添加注入泡沫,完全密封了房屋,使其能够高效,并且一年四季都更加舒适。

The second advantage is that if you jump on this project now instead of the spring, the work can get done a lot sooner. Insulation contractors tend to get busy in the spring, which can put installs out several weeks before the work can be done.

使您的房屋更加节能和舒适

I know it makes the most sense to wait to do these kinds of projects until your taxes hit the old bank account.

等待可能不是最好的主意的原因有很多。

First, the weather is going to keep going from cold to decent temperatures for a few more months, which means if you have little to no insulation that cold air will keep getting inside. This will keep your energy bills on the rise until those air leaks are fixed.

接下来,这取决于您的舒适感。当涉及到您的家时,能源效率和舒适感。您将炉子调高以保持温暖和舒适的速度,从而使账单上升。

Finally, many contractors offer 12- to 18-months same as cash financing so you wouldn’t have to make a payment right away. In this case, it makes the most sense to get on the schedule now while they’re slow instead of waiting until spring and tax time like everyone else. This could have you waiting weeks instead of days.

Now we don’t work in siding or windows, but we are the experts in our field when it comes to foam insulation. Adding foam insulation to your home now will keep all that air you pay to treat right inside where you want it with the空气密封它创建。

不要等待,只要拿起手机,让我们现在就开始那个春季绝缘项目。
