Do Your Doors and Windows Need Recaulking?

We can’t wait for warmer weather. It’s almost here. That means Independent Services of Virginia’s crew can start working on some of our favorite outdoor projects, like building inspection or caulking projects. Home and business owners in Hampton Roads should take advantage of a nice day, too, and do a quick inspection of their building’s exterior. Whether it’s new construction or a building that has been around for years, all exterior window casings should be checked yearly for cracked and shrinking sealant. Look for potential leaks, too. See if there has been any damage from the many storms that have passed through the area in the last few months. Since we are one of Hampton Roads’ premier caulking contractors, you might need our help.

Any areas that allow water into the windowsills, window casings or door frames need to be repaired with caulking material as part of our leak repair services. Siding, brick and stucco in particular all use this type of sealant. Untreated areas will eventually rot or cause moisture problems and mold. Cracks and gaps around doors and windows also cause energy loss and increase utility bills. Getting them repaired is a good way to save money in the long run and be environmentally friendly, too.

When we perform caulking services, we first remove the old caulk and clean up the affected area, then we apply a fresh new seal to prevent any further damage from bad weather. We use the type of caulking material that best suits your exterior. As part of our leak repair services, we will inspect the home or business’ exterior when we come out, before we get started. We’ll show you what we’re going to do and fix your problem areas.
