Windows & Doors Before & After Photos

This customer in Lenox, MA called us originally in order to get the doors in his home weatherproofed due to drafts he was experiencing. Our Home Comfort Specialist headed to the home and noted that there was one particular door at the bottom of the basement hatch steps that was poorly fitting and uninsulated. Functionally, it was as if there was no door at all. Steps from your basement to the outdoors are convenient, but the (metal) hatch doors that cover them are completely uninsulated and leak lots of air. Cold winter air gets sucked into your home continually in winter. In summer, warm humid air enters the basement and causes condensation on cool floor, wall and duct surfaces. Results - Cold basement, cold floors on first floor, drafts, higher heating fuel costs, condensation in summer, higher electric costs for A/C.

Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this homeowner with this task. We spoke to him and recommended that we take the door out and install a new, insulated door. Proper framing is installed and a new insulated exterior door with weather-stripping and locking knob is installed. Now “inside” the house is inside the door, and “outside” is outside the door, so it doesn’t matter that the hatch door is uninsulated and leaks air. Result - warmer basement and floors over the basement, drier basement in summer, lower fuel and electric costs, less drafts, house easier to heat, more security.

This homeowner in Lenox, MA called us when he was looking to improve insulation in his home. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived at the home, we noticed that the windows in his home were old and poorly maintained. One even had a piece of cardboard instead of a pane! The homeowner was aware they needed attention, too. 

We were able to help this customer by replacing his windows with our Everlast™ high efficiency vinyl windows. These sliding windows have double pane glass that is treated to reduce heat flow in and out of the glass. They also will never rust, rot, or need paint! That way, the homeowner would be able to enjoy his space, without drafts, high energy bills, or the risk of pests entering the home. 

This homeowner in Pittsfield, MA called us out to their home to take a look at their old basement window. They knew that it was not an efficient window, and that they were losing a lot of air from their home. We got to the home and performed our Full Home Energy Evaluation to better assess the efficiency in this home. We noticed the basement window they currently had was an old single pane glass window with a metal frame, which lets in a lot of air into the home. This also gets a lot of air escape from the home by conduction through the cold glass. The window had also started rusting due to the damp environment near the ground. Since the home has low pressure at the bottom and sucks cold outside air into your home it causes a freezing cold basement and cold floors. We knew that we needed to replace this old window to increase the efficiency and comfort in this home.

To fix this window, we need to first remove the old window sashes. We install our Everlast basement window inserts and seal it airtight. Our Everlast windows feature two panes of high performance glass, which lets visible light through, but blocks the heat flow with a special metallic coating in the inside of both panes. The sash features a vinyl frame which is perfect for the damp environment of the window near the ground. This window will never rust, rot or need to be repainted. This homeowner now has a beautiful, efficient basement window thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions!!!

This home owner in Colebrook, CT called us to his home to see if we could fix his water problem. The problem was that his basement windows were old and let water leak right into the home!

Now that Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions have completed this install, this home owner will not have to worry about leaky basement windows ever again!

This home owner in Dalton, MA called us to his home to see if we could help him with his ice damming problem. When our building science specialist got to the home he noticed a couple of this that were allowing this ice damming problem to occur. One of these problems was that the skylights were letting a lot of heat conduct through the Skylight wooden framing. This was causing some serious snow melt on the roof.

To fix this we installed our Everlast Skylight Inserts. This insert has double pane glass with a very high UV rating to protect the home. Now that Dr Energy Saver came and installed these Skylight inserts and finished up a couple of other treatments at this home, this home owner will not have to worry about ice damning ever again!
