Why Miami windows fail caulk early
- UV + salt air — beads chalk and pull away from stucco or frame edges.
- Wind-driven rain — summer storms push water into hairline gaps at sills and jambs.
- Impact / replacement openings — new frames still need a clean perimeter seal after install settling.
- Condo ledges — high-rise openings need careful tooling without staining neighboring units.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does window caulking cost in Miami?
Gold Hands publishes window caulking at $45 per window on the caulking & sealing menu. Exterior door caulking is $59 per door. Multi-window runs are quoted from that line (or half-day $389 if you batch with other punch-list work).
Is window caulking the same as shower caulking?
No. Shower/tub resealing is a wet-area waterproof job ($129 per unit). Window caulking seals frames against Miami rain, drafts, and salt air — different material focus and different SKU ($45/window).
Do you remove old cracked window caulk first?
Yes. We scrape failed beads, clean the joint, and lay a fresh exterior-grade bead. Painting over failed caulk is not a fix — water still tracks behind the frame.
Will caulking help before hurricane season?
Fresh perimeter seals reduce wind-driven rain at frames and thresholds. It is not a substitute for impact shutters or code-rated openings, but it is a common pre-storm handyman prep item in South Florida.
Can you caulk impact windows and sliding doors?
Yes on typical frame perimeters. Large sliding-glass stacks or failed glazing seals may need a glazier — we tell you honestly if the joint is beyond handyman caulk scope.
