About Winter Garden: Winter Garden is an Orange County city west of downtown Orlando, just south of Lake Apopka. The West Orange Trail runs down the middle of Plant Street downtown, and many homes citywide are on the newer side.
Sealant is laid once and then spends every hot, rainy season from May to October, and every cooler one from November to March, stretching and cracking until a gap opens at a window, door or trim joint. Much of Winter Garden’s housing is fairly new, and even so the original bead on many houses has been through a good many of those cycles. Checking the joints ahead of hurricane season is upkeep of that kind.
The old bead comes out first. Caulk that has cracked, peeled or shrunk is cut out, and fresh sealant goes in at window and door frames, trim joints and the trim around exterior wall openings, following the product label. Worn weatherstripping at a drafty door can be replaced, which can help the AC keep up. Fresh sealant helps keep water, drafts and moisture out, but this is maintenance, not storm protection, and it does not replace shutters, impact windows or roof work. Pipes, vents and wiring are left alone.
Mark each joint that looks split, peeling or pulled away as you walk the outside, along with any door edge that shows light, and note black mildew in tub or shower seams. Point out any water stain under a window, though tracing its cause is not part of this service. Ask your local building department or HOA before changing how an exterior looks. A one-time visit works through the list; a monthly or quarterly plan looks again. Phone (407) 638-8956 or send a request through the site. Related reading: small caulking and sealing maintenance.
These answers apply across the Orlando metro, including Winter Park, Kissimmee, Lake Nona, Windermere, Oviedo and Winter Garden.
Sun, heat, humidity and heavy rain make sealant harden, crack and pull away from joints faster than in milder climates.
Look at exterior window and door frames, trim joints, tubs, showers, sinks and any pipe or vent that passes through a wall.
Yes. Removing failed caulk, cleaning the joint and applying the right sealant is routine handyman work and often prevents larger moisture repairs.
No. Fresh sealant is maintenance that helps keep water, drafts and moisture out of window, door and trim joints. It is not storm protection and does not replace shutters, impact windows or roof work. To have your seals looked at, call (407) 638-8956.
Look for caulk that is cracked, peeling or shrinking at window and door frames and trim, and for light or drafts at door edges. Indoors, check tub and shower seams for black mildew. Photos help when you call (407) 638-8956.
Frames, tub seams and exterior trim gaps on your own unit are in scope. Shared-wall and fire-rated joints are left alone, along with pipes, vents and wiring. Check with your HOA or landlord first, then send a request through the site.
