Caulking Services in Whitby, ON

Window Seals and Settling Gaps Around Whitby

Exterior caulking and exterior painting go together on the older houses downtown. When the paint is due, the caulk around windows, doors and trim joints usually is too, and doing both in one project means the new bead gets painted over and protected. On a two-storey home, it also saves setting up ladders twice. Exterior and trim joints get a paintable acrylic-latex for exactly that reason.

In the big new-build subdivisions, the caulking issue is movement. A new house dries out and settles through its first few years, and the joints that move most open first: where the tub meets the tile, along the backsplash, at the inside corners of a shower. A gap in a wet area lets water behind the surround. Kitchen countertop and backsplash caulking typically runs $75 to $150.

If you already have us in for a spring or fall maintenance visit, a caulking check is easy to add. We walk the exterior joints and the wet rooms inside and redo whatever has cracked, pulled away or gone black with mildew. A single tub or shower runs $75 to $150 on its own, and wet areas always get 100% silicone, which stays flexible as the house moves.
