“Do I need to replace my windows?”
“No. Windows do not have a best before date. Let’s take a look….”
Meet Kristian: A homeowner, who was experiencing moisture issues in his windows, had noticed some of his neighbours replacing all of their windows. Concerned about the high cost of wholesale replacements, he knew he needed expert advice and signed up for HomePorter's pilot program. Our HomePro Michelle diagnosed his problem and put his mind at ease - a full replacement would not be required. Changing a couple windows and increasing airflow to all the windows was all that was needed. Kristian followed this home maintenance advice.
He also made a promise to himself never to succumb to the bandwagon effect and to instead seek proper advice from EXPERTS like Michelle.
Meet Paula: A homeowner who was struggling with a room on the main floor that never seemed to maintain a consistent temperature like the rest of the house. This lingering issue troubled her, but finding time to fix it was difficult. Then a friend recommended HomePorter's free pilot program. Intrigued by the hassle-free and non-intrusive Virtual Homecare experience, she signed up. After careful analysis, HomePro Ron advised ductwork and window maintenance, along with a strategic application of foam insulation, to resolve the issue.
Paula instantly felt relief knowing that this long-standing issue would be cleared from her mental to-do list thanks to HomePorter.
Meet Sarah: A homeowner troubled by dishes not smelling fresh after wash cycle. Through HomePorter's Virtual Homecare program, she connected with HomePro Alex. He quickly diagnosed a faulty installation, guiding Sarah to correct the drain connection. Alex also educated her on maintaining a high loop in the drain hose for prevention.
Sarah felt relieved and empowered to address the issue, thanks to HomePorter.
