Good caulking keeps heat in, moisture out, and pests from finding easy entry points. Pittsburgh winters make this one of the most practical things you can do for your home.
Remove old cracked caulk and apply fresh sealant around window frames, inside and out, to stop drafts and moisture infiltration.

Ask About Foundation & Sill Sealing →Pittsburgh winters are cold and long. A full weatherproofing pass before temperatures drop is one of the highest-return things you can do — lower heating bills, fewer drafts, and less moisture getting into walls.
Caulk also needs temperatures above about 40°F to cure properly, so scheduling before the cold arrives is important for getting a good seal.

Air sealing and weatherstripping are where most homes lose the most energy. Read our post: How to Make Your Home More Energy Efficient (Without a Major Renovation).
Most exterior caulk lasts 5 to 10 years depending on the product and exposure. If you see cracking, gaps, or sections pulling away from the surface, it is time to redo it.
Yes. We can go around the exterior and common problem areas inside in one visit and handle all the gaps, caulk, and weatherstripping at once.
Yes. Door weatherstripping that is worn flat, torn, or compressed no longer seals properly and is easy to replace as part of a weatherproofing visit.
Early fall is ideal — before temperatures drop below 40°F, which is the threshold for most caulks to cure properly. Late summer through October is the sweet spot.
Caulking and weatherproofing are easy to overlook until the first cold snap of the year, when you feel air moving through a window frame or notice the gap at the bottom of an exterior door. Pittsburgh winters are hard enough without paying to heat air that's heading straight outside through failed caulk joints and worn weatherstripping. The fixes are straightforward but need to be done with the right materials and applied correctly to last through multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
In Moon Township homes, weatherproofing calls typically pick up in fall as temperatures drop. The most common issues are cracked or separated caulk around windows and door frames — caulk that's dried out, lost its adhesion, and left a gap between the frame and the siding that lets outside air into the wall cavity. Older homes in Carnot and along Flaugherty Run often have original caulk that hasn't been touched since the home was built, or previous patches done with the wrong product that are now failing. Weatherstripping on exterior doors degrades over time, stops sealing properly, and shows up as drafts, higher energy bills, and insects getting inside in warm weather.
When we come out, we inspect all exterior penetrations — windows, doors, any HVAC or utility penetrations through the exterior walls — and identify everything that needs attention. Old caulk is removed where necessary, surfaces are cleaned and prepped, and new caulk is applied cleanly with proper tooling. Weatherstripping is replaced where it's no longer sealing. The goal isn't just making it look better — it's actually stopping the air movement.
