Caulking – A Critical Home Improvement Service for Scottsdale’s Desert Climate
With Scottsdale’s harsh desert climate featuring brutally hot summers and occasional monsoon rains, proper caulking and sealing are imperative for interior and exterior paint jobs.
As local painting contractors who have served Scottsdale for over a decade, That 1 Painter understands how vital adequate caulking is to protect homes in this region from deterioration while maintaining aesthetic beauty.
Like glue, caulk fills cracks, gaps, seams, and joints by sticking to surfaces. With specialized options like flexible silicone, durable acrylic latex, long-lasting polyurethane, and more, That 1 Painter thoughtfully selects the optimal caulk for each unique situation.
For instance, flexible silicone works well for the many exterior gaps in Scottsdale homes that expand and contract dramatically with 110+ degrees of summer heat followed by rainy winters. Meanwhile, versatile acrylic latex makes sense for living space touch-ups because it effortlessly paints over.
Proper sealing and caulking defend Scottsdale homes against moisture damage while beautifully finishing trims, edges, and transitions between materials. It takes paint jobs from dull to delightful! However, aside from visual upgrades, sealing gaps also prevents expensive drafts, dust, and allergens from gradually infiltrating and ruining homes.
