• Replacing windows and exterior doors (double‑pane vinyl, insulated fiberglass)
• Installing ventilation systems and ensuring proper exhaust venting
• Installing safety equipment (smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors)
• Performing blower door testing and worst‑case draft testing
• Supporting HVAC‑related weatherization improvements

Client Interaction

• Review project details and paperwork with homeowners
• Provide clear education on improvements and energy savings
• Maintain a professional, respectful, and clean presence in clients’ homes
