Weatherstripping & Caulking (Residential)

Many energy-efficient weatherstripping and sealing upgrades may also qualify for Ontario government rebate programs, allowing homeowners to save on costs while improving long-term comfort and performance.

Recommended Timing for Weatherstripping & Caulking:

• ?Inspection & Maintenance: Twice a year — ideally in spring and fall — to catch wear from winter frost or summer heat.

Replacement/Repair: Every 3–5 years, or sooner if gaps, cracks, or drafts are noticeable.

Critical Check: After severe weather events, such as heavy storms or ice buildup, to ensure seals remain intact.

By following this schedule, homeowners maintain optimal insulation, prevent moisture infiltration, and extend the life of doors, windows, and exterior openings.
