# Caulking & Weatherproofing


Caulk is the cheapest line of defense against water damage in a house — and it's the first thing that fails. Mildewed bathroom caulk, cracked window perimeter, gaps at exterior penetrations — all of it is fixable in an afternoon. The parts that aren't fixed turn into much bigger problems: mold behind tile, rot in the window framing, water intrusion at the foundation. In South Florida, moisture finds every gap.

## What's included

- Strip old caulk completely — new caulk over old caulk fails fast
- Clean and dry the substrate before applying anything
- Mildew-resistant silicone for wet areas (tubs, showers, sinks)
- Polyurethane or paintable acrylic caulk for exterior applications where movement and paint adhesion matter
- Tooled to a clean, smooth line that doesn't look like it was done with a finger

## Common situations we handle

- Tub and shower re-caulk — mildew or pulling away from the tile
- Window perimeter caulk, interior and exterior
- Exterior trim joints and siding gaps
- Kitchen sink perimeter
- Hose-bib penetrations and AC line-set boots
- Deck-to-house joint sealing
- Door frame perimeter on exterior doors

A single bathroom re-caulk is a two-to-three hour job. A full-house exterior weatherproofing pass — windows, penetrations, trim joints — is a full day.
