What to know about Weatherstripping
Weatherstripping is the part of air sealing that has to survive being opened and closed thousands of times a year. That is what separates it from caulking: a caulked joint never moves again, while a door sweep, a jamb seal and a window sash gasket are consumable parts that compress, harden and wear out. Replacing them is among the cheapest work you can have done to a house, and it is one of the few jobs where the benefit is felt the same evening.

How to choose handymen in Hollywood
- Describe all the small jobs up front so the handyman can bring the right tools and give you a realistic estimate.
- Ask whether they charge by the hour, by the job or with a minimum visit fee.
- For anything involving wiring, gas or new plumbing, use a licensed trade instead of a general handyman.
- Check that they carry liability insurance, especially for work on ladders or on the exterior.
- Ask whether they supply materials or whether you should buy them ahead of time.
Questions to ask handymen before you hire
- Do you charge by the hour or by the job, and is there a minimum?
- Can you do all of the jobs on my list, or will some need a licensed trade?
- Will you bring the materials, or should I buy them?
- Are you insured if something is damaged while you're working?
- How do you handle it if a job takes longer than expected?
Weatherstripping permits in Florida
Some weatherstripping work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Florida
Consumer protection
Unlicensed contracting is a crime in Florida: it is an offence to act as a contractor, or to advertise as available to do so, without being duly registered or certified, and the penalties rise for repeat offences and during a declared state of emergency. Contracts must also carry the Florida Homeowners' Construction Recovery Fund notice.
