What is Caulk and Why Do Arlington – Alexandria, Virginia Homes Need It?
With its humid coastal climate and historic neighborhoods featuring a mix of Colonial homes and more modern houses, Arlington and Alexandria see a fair amount of shifting foundations, leaks, and drafts that require diligent caulking and sealing.
Caulk works like an adhesive glue to seal up cracks both inside and out. With flexible silicone, durable acrylic latex, and specialized options available, we select the optimal caulk for each unique situation around Arlington-Alexandria.
For example, flexible silicone makes sense for exterior gaps that expand and contract with humidity and temperature changes. Easy-to-paint acrylic latex works well indoors for sealing away drafts in living spaces. Proper caulking is key for interior and exterior paint jobs in this area.
It beautifully finishes trim, corners, edges, and seams while protecting walls from moisture issues that lead to peeling. In short, caulk takes your paint job from drab to fab! Beyond aesthetics, sealing gaps also deters dust mites, pollen, and other allergy triggers that can aggravate sinus issues in this humid region.
Caulking repairs prevent small issues from becoming major moisture damage over time as well.
