Handyman in the Sunset District, San Francisco
The Sunset is block after block of 1930s and 1940s stucco row houses, and the fog does most of the damage. Damp, draughts and tired garage doors make up the majority of what we are called out for here.

Questions from Sunset District customers
Why does the bathroom sealant go black so quickly out here?
Because it is being applied over a surface that never fully dries in this climate. We strip the old bead completely, dry and prime the joint, then run a mould-resistant sealant, which lasts far longer than a bead run over the old one.
Can you make the house warmer without a full window replacement?
Usually a lot warmer, yes. Draught sealing doors and sash windows, fitting door sweeps and thresholds, and sealing the garage-to-house door removes most of the cold air movement at a fraction of the cost.
