It has been a very dry and hot summer in the DC metro area. You know what that means! A dry summer means a wet winter or even a wet fall. When it is this hot out, sometimes caulking can dry up and crack. A quick tip, make sure you clean out any old caulking around windows and doors and put fresh and quality caulking down before the wet weather begins. This will help prevent moisture problems, which typically enter from a roofing or window leak. Caulking around windows by a professlonal painting contractor is an efficient and inexpensive option. In our opinion, painters are the best at caulking!
One final thing, if your windows are wood or PVC, it is best to put a fresh coat of paint over the caulk as some caulks tend to attract dust and dirt. A good coat of paint can help keep the caulk from cracking and keep the window trim looking its best.
