I'm trying to figure out the best person to hire for resealing the windows and doors on my 30-year-old house. Should I look for a handyman, a specialized window company, or maybe an exterior wall contractor?

It's not a challenging task at all! I'd suggest checking out some YouTube tutorials first. If you still feel unsure about doing it, calling a handyman should do the trick without breaking the bank.
If you're comfortable with DIY, resealing is pretty straightforward! But if you'd rather not tackle it yourself, a local handyman can definitely help you out. They usually have the skills for this kind of job without the hassle of a big company.
You could contact a window company for a quote, but be prepared for them to upsell you on replacing everything! Sometimes their estimates can be really high—like $20,000 for a full replacement! Just be cautious with that route.
Totally, just scrape out the old caulk and apply the new. Just be careful—it's important to do it right to avoid leaks!
