job for $65 yourself or hire a handyman for $302 and lower energy bills all year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a simple fact: To stop cold air from entering your house or warm air from escaping, caulk the <a href=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/replace-window\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/replace-window\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">windows<\/a>. It&#8217;s one of the best bangs for your buck to conserve energy because it is easy to do and the material and tools are inexpensive. All you need is a cartridge of good quality caulk and a metal caulk gun to apply it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you use a caulk gun a few times, it&#8217;s easy to operate, but it can look intimidating at first. You put the cartridge into the gun, puncture the caulk tube with a utility knife or nail, pull the trigger of the gun and caulk squeezes out of the tube nozzle. The flow of caulk stops when you stop squeezing the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You won&#8217;t find a better <a href=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/learning\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">do-it-yourself project for a beginner<\/a> than this one because you\u2019ll learn an on-the-job skill you\u2019ll use many times in your life as a homeowner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A handyman will charge $302 to caulk six average size <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/rebuild-double-hung-window\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/rebuild-double-hung-window\/\">double-hung windows<\/a>, which includes the labor and material. You can do the job for $65, the cost of a caulk gun and 12 cartridges of caulk. You&#8217;ll need a ladder to reach windows on the first floor and an extension ladder for ones on the second floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn how to test your house for energy leaks and tax credit information go to&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sealyourhome.info\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.sealyourhome.info<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We prefer Acrylic Latex Caulk with silicone because it\u2019s flexible, water-resistant and lasts a long time. When you\u2019re looking at caulk, make sure you get one that\u2019s paintable if you don\u2019t want to use the standard white and tan colored shades. You can save some money if you purchase a 12 pack of caulk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you choose a frame or cradle type of caulking gun, they both work in the same way. Some have a notched shaft, others are smooth, which lets you release the caulk in one easy motion. A nozzle cutter that\u2019s built-in is a nice feature, but nothing cuts the caulk tube tip as neatly as a utility knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line: compare the price of a contractor\u2019s bid to caulk windows with what it costs to do it yourself and make your decision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The average price to Caulk Windows noted above is cost data to compare a contractor\u2019s estimate with doing it yourself.
