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.

We hired That 1 Painter to refinish our front door, which was in desperate need of an update. They gave us a fair price, showed up on time, worked with us to figure out the right stain, and did a wonderful job. Our door looks fantastic! They were very responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. We recommend this team and will certainly use them again because of the great experience! Thank you That 1 Painter!

My exterior is primarily Stucco. Had two people working, Luis and Carlos. Very professional. They were always on time and left late. They pre-power washed, removed the dried up caulking around the garage and placed new caulking. Scraped and caulked other areas. Very meticulous and cleaned up every single day. Luis and Carlos take pride in their work and it shows. I can't say enough of That 1 Painter and their employees. I made the right decision when I picked them to paint my home. Thank you again

These painters did an excellent job painting all our interior walls, ceilings, and cabinets in our kitchen and three bathrooms. We are very pleased! They changed out the hardware at no extra charge because they had to be taken off anyway. Our project manager, Peter, was very responsive and professional, and we ended up adding on more work. We will definitely only use them from now on! Juan, the head painter, was here every day working hard and he and his team did very meticulous work.
