Quick fall reminder: if your house has window wells, give them a rake-out before the leaves really start coming down. A clogged well means water sitting right against your basement window instead of draining away.

Ever wonder what it actually takes to reseal windows on a two-story bay? For us, it took a 55-foot lift, a full day, and eighteen windows worth of patience.

The window itself is the easy part. Getting safely up there to do it right is the real job.

Today we're taking a moment to remember September 11, 2001, twenty-five years ago. We're grateful for the first responders and service members who ran toward the danger that day, and for everyone who has carried that same spirit of service since.

A window or door doesn't fail just because one part does. Most of what looks like a total loss is really one worn piece dragging down everything around it.

Worth figuring out which one before you assume the whole thing needs to go this fall.
