Fresh exterior and interior caulk and sealant around frames and trim to stop leaks, drafts and bugs.
Caulk and sealant age. They crack, shrink, peel and pull away from the frame, and the gaps they leave let in water, air and insects. Resealing windows is a routine job that protects the house from damage. It works best when the old material is removed completely and the surface is clean and dry. Homeowners in Nashville ask us to reseal windows before painting, before winter and whenever they spot a crack.
We inspect the exterior caulk lines around the trim, siding and sill and the interior joints at the casing and wall. We remove failed caulk, clean and prime where needed and apply a high-quality sealant that fits the materials and the movement of the joint. We tool the bead smooth and leave weep holes and drains open. We tell you if a gap is too big for caulk, which is a sign that flashing or trim needs repair.
New sealant sticks to clean surfaces, not on top of cracked old caulk, so we remove failed material first.
Exterior sealants, paintable acrylics and flexible polyurethanes suit different joints, and we choose one for each.
Weep holes and drains must stay open so water can leave the window, and we protect them while sealing.
A gap wider than caulk can bridge needs backing, foam or trim repair, and we say so.
