Caulking

WHAT IS CAULKING AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Caulk is similar to paint in that it’s made from one of four base compounds: acrylic latex, silicone, polyurethane, or rubber. The base compound determines the caulk’s individual characteristics, such as what materials it will adhere to, its durability, paint-ability, etc. As such, we always select the best and longest-lasting caulk available for each unique situation.

We consider proper caulking and sealing to be a crucial part of every exterior or interior painting
project. It’s a simple yet effective way to smooth and perfect the look of corners, edges, and seams. It provides more than cosmetic enhancements, caulk seals and protects your walls from water and weather seeping through and causing damage.

We take our service one step further than the competition—we promise to be the best houseguest you’ve ever had.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the right type of caulking for me?

There are many types of caulk to choose from, depending on weather, location in the home, and painting concerns. To find out which caulking is best for you, we highly recommend contacting us via a call or booking an appointment with one of our team members. We will answer all your questions and give you expert advice.

How is caulking different from sealant?

Both caulk and silicone are used to close the gaps between building materials, but because they have differing qualities, they are best suited for alternate uses. Caulking can be painted but is more solid and vulnerable to shrinkage. Although silicone is more flexible and can handle temperature changes better, painting on silicone is always a challenge.

How long should caulk last before cracking?

Properly applied caulk in an indoor location should last around five years. However, other signs besides age will indicate that you need to remove and replace the caulking.

How does caulking help in maintaining my house?

Caulking is highly beneficial for maintaining your house at an affordable cost. It seals up any cracks or holes in the house, which saves you money on electricity and keeps your home temperature controlled. It helps avoid costly home repairs and wasting valuable time. A caulking service can improve your home’s appearance while protecting it from moisture retention and increasing energy efficiency.

Does caulking protect against pests?

Pests can access your building through gaps and cracks caused by damaged or insufficient caulking. Good caulking work on a residential or commercial building can help keep pests away and your property clean and healthy.

Extremely impressed! They were meticulous, quick, and tidy. They taped everything off professionally and made a barrier so there was no dust/fumes in the rest of our home. The quality of work is amazing, pricing was fair, we love the facelift of our kitchen cabinets!
