What types of caulk do Lake Lanier homes need?
With heavy winds, storms, and extreme seasonal temperature swings, we generally use long-lasting exterior silicone or polyurethane. Interior acrylic latex works great for easy paintability. Talk to us about custom solutions.
How is caulking different from sealant?
While they both seal gaps, caulk adheres better to more surfaces and finishes nicely when painted over. Sealants are extremely flexible but don’t take paint well. We select the optimal product for every situation.
How long does caulk last on Lake Lanier homes?
Properly applied quality caulks should endure 5-15 years, depending on location and weathering. If you see any shrinking, cracking, peeling, or gaps, it’s time to re-caulk.
Why caulk homes in Lake Lanier?
Frequent moisture, sun exposure, storms, and extreme temperatures mean homes here need vigilant sealing for protection and efficiency. Beyond just looking nice, caulking also seals the building envelope to prevent dust and allergens from entering living spaces while lowering energy costs.
Can caulking help manage Lake Lanier pests?
Absolutely! Careful caulking closes off pest entry points and highways into homes. Critters like mice, snakes, spiders, scorpions, and cockroaches actively seek out cozy gaps and cracks to move into. Great caulking keeps them out in the cold!
