Draft around a door? Cracked caulk lines? A window screen that won’t stay put? I handle exterior weatherproofing and small repairs across Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, Spring Valley, Paradise, and Enterprise.
Caulk and weatherstripping take more punishment here than in most climates. Intense UV exposure dries out and cracks caulk and rubber seals faster, summer heat cycles expand and contract door and window frames day after day, and blowing dust works its way into any small gap that opens up. None of that is dramatic on its own — it just adds up faster than homeowners expect.
Most of what I see isn’t one big failure. It’s a handful of small gaps — a worn door sweep here, a cracked bead of caulk there — that let heat and dust in gradually until the AC bill or the dust on a windowsill finally gets someone’s attention.

If your doors, windows, or screens need attention before the next heat wave, I can help get it handled.
