Caulking Services in Uxbridge, ON

Sealing the Weather Side of Country Homes

Uxbridge homes outside the village get hit hard by Ontario weather, and caulking shows it early. Wind-driven rain works into the gap between a window frame and the siding, and in winter any water already in there freezes and widens the crack. One failed corner can feed water into the wall for a long time before a stain or soft spot gives it away.

Outside, trim and exterior joints get a high-quality paintable acrylic-latex, so it can be painted to match. We go around window and door frames, dryer vents and hose bibs, and the seams where trim meets siding. Window caulking on Uxbridge's older village houses takes longer, since their wood frames can have several old beads stacked on top of each other, and every layer has to come out before new caulk will stick.

Inside, the water comes from the other direction. Tubs and showers get 100% silicone, which stays flexible and waterproof, laid only after the old bead is scraped out and the joint is cleaned with a mildew remover and left to dry. Recaulking a typical tub or shower runs $75 to $150, and a full bathroom is usually $150 to $250. There's a $50 minimum.
