Resealing Windows and Siding Joints in Brighton

Brighton's lake exposure shortens the life of exterior caulk. UV dries it out, freeze-thaw stretches it, and once it's hard it cracks away from the frame. A thin crack is enough to let wind-driven rain behind the trim, where it can rot a sill or stain the wall inside. We cut out the old bead completely, clean the joint and lay a new bead of paintable acrylic-latex made for exterior work.

Heritage homes near Brighton's core often have wood windows and trim with plenty of joints, and each one needs checking. Newer builds have fewer seams, but the ones around windows, doors, vents and siding corners still fail, especially as the house settles in its first few years. We go around the whole exterior so nothing gets missed, and point out any wood that's too far gone to seal.

Inside, a house that sits closed up for part of the year can come back to mildew or lifting caulk in the bathroom. A shower that sees heavy use all summer wears its seals out quickly too. For shower recaulking, we remove every bit of old caulk, treat the mildew, let the joint dry and lay down 100% silicone. A tub or shower runs $75 to $150, a full bathroom is usually $150 to $250, and there's a $50 minimum.
