Weatherstripping & Sealing in Old Hickory, TN

Weatherstripping breaks down over time from sun exposure, temperature swings, and simple age, and once it does, conditioned air leaks straight out around the sash and frame, it’s one of the most common reasons homeowners are told they “need new windows” when they really just need new seals. We replace weatherstripping, re-caulk exterior joints, and reseal around the frame to restore the window’s energy performance, often solving the exact draft that would otherwise get blamed on the window itself.

Old Hickory Village was laid out in 1918 as planned housing for DuPont’s plant workers and is now on the National Register of Historic Places, many of its original windows were built to a standard well above typical production housing of the era, which is a big part of why restoration usually outperforms replacement here. Along the lake itself, the housing mix skews newer, and the recurring issue is aluminum cladding that’s taken a beating from sun and lake-effect humidity, letting moisture reach the wood frame underneath if it isn’t caught early.
