🔨 Renovation Red Flags, Energy-Efficient Windows & What to Know Before You Remodel | 757 House Whisperer Show

Hey friends — Chuck Worley here with another jam-packed episode of the 757 House Whisperer Show, where we get real about home repair, smart upgrades, and the stuff most contractors won’t tell you until it’s too late.

This week, we're talking all things bathroom remodels, kitchen remodels, and how to handle a kitchen relocation without blowing your budget—or breaking building codes.

We’re also digging into what really matters when choosing windows, from U-value and DP rating to triple-pane vs. double-pane and how your choices impact energy efficiency and even hurricane protection.

We also share what to look for in a quality window manufacturer and what makes a single hung or double hung window right for your home—especially if you’re living on a slab foundation like many homes here in Newport News, VA.

Got pests? We covered pest control must-knows with a special focus on termite control, moles, voles, and even carpenter bees that love to chew through wood and ruin a good weekend. We even tossed in a tip about using castor beans—yes, really—to help with burrowing pests.

Of course, I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t talk about the essentials: heating, air conditioning, electrical work, plumbing, crawl space encapsulation, and insulation—especially how these systems work together to make or break your home’s comfort.

And just to keep you safe—we touched on carbon monoxide risks during remodels and how to avoid disaster before you even pick up a hammer. Plus, we hit on the importance of reading contractor reviews before hiring anyone for your next home construction or house renovation.

So whether you’re replacing windows, remodeling a kitchen, or trying to keep pests from claiming your crawl space, this episode gives you the real talk and expert advice you can count on.
