Caulk & Weather Sealing
Failed exterior caulk, worn door seals and small weather-exposed gaps refreshed after checking for underlying damage.
Sealant is the home's first defense against coastal humidity, and it's the first thing to fail. Refreshing failed caulk and worn weatherstrip is inexpensive, high-value work — but only if the gap behind it is sound. We check before we seal.
What’s included
- Exterior caulk and sealant replacement
- Door and window weatherstrip renewal
- Sealing gaps around penetrations and trim
- Interior caulk refresh at baths and counters
- A check for hidden damage before sealing over it
Signs it’s time
- Cracked, shrinking or blackened caulk lines
- Drafts around doors and windows
- Peeling sealant at tubs, showers or counters
- Higher humidity or energy bills than expected
Sealant and weatherstrip renewal is handyman work. If sealing reveals rot, active leaks or moisture damage, the underlying cause is addressed first — sometimes with the right specialist.
Common questions
Why does my caulk keep failing?
Usually movement, the wrong product for the location, or sealing over a gap that's still moving. We look at why it failed before re-doing it so the fix actually lasts.
Can new caulk hide a bigger problem?
It can — which is why we check first. Sealing over active moisture or rot just traps it. If we find something underneath, we'll tell you before caulking over it.
