Cold Weather Construction

Building for the Winter Ahead

And just as we winterize our bodies and our cars with warm clothes and snow tires, we do much the same to our houses in preparation for the cold months ahead, from cleaning out gutters to sealing cracks around windows and doors, wrapping pipes with insulation, replacing the furnace filter, draining water from the outside faucet and – if there is a fireplace or woodstove – stocking up on firewood. And those who fail to prepare often pay the price with drafts and high heating costs or, even worse, mould, moisture damage or frozen pipes.

In it for the Long Haul

Talbert Manufacturing

As Talbert Manufacturing approaches its eightieth year in operation in 2018, it has many things to celebrate.
