What happens here

The presenter introduces the project: replacing old bronze weather strips on a door, which were marred by paint from previous painters, with new white weather strips. The new white strips are chosen to match the existing door trim. He emphasizes the improved aesthetic and the cost-effectiveness of this upgrade (approximately $6.50 per weather strip). He also mentions replacing a scuffed kick plate (approximately $25) as an additional, no-charge service to the customer, highlighting it as a way to add value to the service.

Goal: Understand the scope, materials, and benefits of replacing door weather strips and a kick plate.

What they say

Hide

So I'm installing new weather strips here. The customer did have bronze weather strips on here that had paint from the previous painters on here We don't want to put them back on because you know could look like we got the paint on the weather strips and also they were bronze I've changed them to white since the trim is white so it matches the trim now a lot better than having bronze weather strips The weather strips are pretty inexpensive. There's 650 apiece just an added service. You can do it for your customer We'll be putting on a new kit plate down here the kit plate was all scratched up scuffed up So it's gonna look a lot nicer with the kit plate the kit plate was $25 so you can just do it at no charge You can you know do it this and how to charge for your customer but new weather strips simple they just press right in
