Long punch lists and projects with no fixed scope. Billed by the hour, so the total depends on how long it runs.
What the lower end buys
One tub or shower surround: old caulk cut out, the joint scraped and cleaned, mildew treated, the surface dried, then a single tooled bead of silicone laid in. Sharp lines, no gaps at the corners, and a straight answer on how long to keep the shower dry.
What the higher end buys
Three or four rooms taken together, or a job where old caulk was layered on twice and painted over, takes the top. Getting that buildup off without scratching tile or a solid-surface counter is the slow part, and every joint has to be bone dry before new silicone.

Biggest price driver
Removal drives the hours here. A single thin bead peels out in minutes. Layers of silicone over acrylic over grout come out with a blade and a scraper, joint by joint, and any black mildew hiding underneath gets treated before the new bead can seal properly.
How to keep your caulking & sealing cost down
Round up every joint that needs redoing, kitchen, bath and windows, and take them in one visit. Clear the tub surround and the counters, and plan on leaving the shower unused overnight while the silicone cures.
