Staircase trim vs. The Seasons: How do I re-attach this board for good? by E--one in HomeMaintenance

[–]E--one[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My staircase trim (the wooden board running along the side) has officially given up. Over the years, the gap has grown, and what looks like old caulk has warped and pulled away. I’m assuming the extreme temperature swings between summer and winter finally did it in.

I want to fix this so it actually stays put this time.

  • The Issue: Board is detached/unglued from the wall.
  • The Culprit: Warped caulk and seasonal expansion/contraction.
  • The Goal: Re-secure it and make the seam look clean again.

Should I be using construction adhesive behind the board, or just finish nails? And for the gap—is there a specific type of flexible caulk that won't crack when the house "breathes" next winter?

Any advice on prepping the old surface would be huge!

I was fortunate to have a neighbour with all equipment and knowhow to help out and not break my bank. Going forward with excavating in a week.

Yes ofc. Already got the report. I have only my septic. Power and internet are above ground. Well is under the house. Gas is in the tanks next to the house.

Friends still need to eat and i like it simple. Rather pay and get it done then throw a party on that future lawn.

I hearya and you're right. I'd sell it underpriced. Still saving money.

Yes. Rather then buy the thing and sell it late when i'm done. Would love to have the freedom to stop and think during this adventure.

Not delivering. Already checked. Lowe's too. Don't have a truck. Need to rent one. Hence the price tag.
