🌷 Spring – Fresh Seals After a Harsh Winter

⬜ Inspect interior window and door caulking for cracks, peeling, or gaps

⬜ Re-caulk any damaged exterior seals around windows and siding

⬜ Check bathroom caulk for mold, mildew, or shrinkage and reapply if needed

⬜ Clean and re-caulk kitchen sink edges and countertops if separation has occurred

⬜ Walk your home’s foundation and siding — seal any visible gaps to keep pests out

💡Did You Know? Old or cracked caulk can let in water — and even minor leaks can lead to mold, rot, or thousands in repairs if left unchecked.

☀️ Summer – Protect from Heat & Humidity

⬜ Inspect caulking around tubs, showers, and sinks — moisture breaks it down over time

⬜ Re-seal outdoor caulking (doors, windows, vents) before peak humidity hits

⬜ Use paintable exterior-grade caulk to touch up any weathered trim or siding seams

⬜ Check expansion joints in patios or walkways and reapply flexible sealants

⬜ Seal around A/C units, hose bibs, and utility entry points

💡Did You Know? Caulking acts as insulation too — sealing small gaps around windows and doors can lower summer cooling costs by up to

10%

.

🍂 Fall – Prep for Cold Weather & Energy Efficiency

⬜ Seal exterior gaps around windows, doors, and attic vents before temperatures drop

⬜ Check basement windows and crawlspace vents for air leaks

⬜ Inspect interior caulking in kitchens and bathrooms as seasonal humidity shifts

⬜ Add fresh caulk to weatherstripping edges where drafts are common

⬜ Use silicone caulk for areas exposed to temperature extremes (like garages or basements)

💡Did You Know? Fall is the ideal time to re-caulk — materials cure best in moderate temps and will be fully set before winter weather hits.

❄️ Winter – Indoor Sealing & Comfort Checks

⬜ Check around indoor baseboards and trim — seal if you feel cold air

⬜ Inspect interior bathroom caulking for signs of shrinkage or mold from dry winter air

⬜ Re-caulk kitchen backsplashes or counters if cracking is visible

⬜ Use removable caulk (like draft seal) for temporary sealing on windows

⬜ Plan for spring exterior caulking needs during indoor project downtime

💡Did You Know? Silicone caulk can last 10+ years if applied correctly — regular inspections make sure you're still protected.

🛠 Bonus Tip: The right caulk, properly applied, protects your home from costly water damage, heat loss, and pest entry — and a skilled handyman makes it quick and clean.
