Your home’s exterior is its first impression to neighbors and potential buyers if you choose to sell. It’s important to protect your investment in your home and keep it looking its best. “The Northwest is a pretty mild climate for the most part, but actually when it comes to your home and taking care of it from the elements, it’s one of the most destructive around,” said Nate Harrington of Polar Bear Exterior Solutions. The humidity and rain can cause moisture damage, and the freeze/thaw cycles cause expansion and contraction, creating gaps for water. Polar Bear Exterior Solutions can complete a full inspection of the exterior of your home to check for problems with the roof, windows and siding. The team especially looks at the vulnerable areas that have the most exposure and transition areas where different materials meet each other. “We just want to check out that everything is going to be weather-tight against the elements out there,” Harrington said. The Polar Bear team will then offer a product to, not only fix the problem, but improve the look of your home, keep you more comfortable, help you save on your energy bills and/or make your home more secure. “We’re a home improvement company,” Harrington said. “We’re not just out there to kind of fix the problem, put a band-aid on it. We actually want to do something that’s going to add value to your home and upgrade the look of it.” Every product the company offers has either a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer or the longest warranty available for that product, including transferable warranties. This allows for peace of mind when making a major home upgrade. “The biggest thing about warranties I always tell people is, it’s only as good as the contractor that does them,” Harrington said. All Polar Bear installers and estimators are trained and certified by the manufacturer to complete the job properly. That’s key because a warranty is null and void if the work is done wrong. “It’s important to know that it’s not just having the product,” Harrington said. “It’s having it done right.” Special offer: Get 12 months no payment, no interest AND 10% off your project.
