It's amazing how many people use silicone to seal leaks on RV's!
Everytime I get called on an exterior leak, the first thing I ask is 'did you try silicone?' When they answer yes, I say 'You should have called me first 'cause now it will be double! First to remove what you did and then do it properly. As my labor rate says:
Labor rate:.......................................$50/hour
If you watch.....................................$75/hour
If you help.......................................$100/hour
If you worked on it first......................$150/hour
