Older homes around Pierce County have character — and drafts. Original windows in Tacoma’s North End, tired door seals in mid-century ramblers, gaps where siding meets trim: every one of them lets our damp winter air creep inside. Pro Touch Handyman seals it all up with fresh caulking and weatherstripping, so your home holds its warmth and your furnace gets a break — anywhere in Tacoma, Puyallup, Lakewood, Federal Way, Bonney Lake, University Place, or Gig Harbor.
What’s Included
- Window caulking — Cracked, shrunken, or missing exterior caulk cut out and replaced with quality sealant.
- Door weatherstripping — Worn door seals replaced so doors close snug with no daylight showing through.
- Trim and siding gaps — We seal the joints where trim meets siding before moisture gets behind them.
- Threshold check — Door thresholds adjusted or resealed where drafts sneak under.
- Neat, paintable lines — Caulk tooled smooth and paint-ready, not smeared.
- Whole-home pass — We walk the full exterior with you and hit every gap in one visit.
What’s Not Included
We seal gaps — we don’t replace windows, doors, or rotted trim. If we find rot hiding behind failed caulk, we’ll show you and talk through the repair before doing anything extra.
FAQs
How do I know where my drafts are coming from?
On a windy day, hold your hand near window edges and door frames. If you feel air moving, that’s the spot. We’ll also do our own walk-around when we arrive.
Will new caulking really make a difference?
In older homes, yes — noticeably. Sealing the obvious gaps is the fastest comfort upgrade short of new windows.
How long does exterior caulk last in our climate?
Quality caulk properly applied typically holds for many years here, even with our rain. Cheap caulk fails fast — we don’t use it.
Can you match the existing caulk color?
We use paintable sealants, so once it’s cured you can paint right over it to match your trim.
