Caulking

The Importance of Caulking for West Michigan Homes

As experienced painters, we at That 1 Painter understand how harsh Michigan winters can be on homes in West Michigan. From bitter cold and heavy snow to spring thaws and summer storms, the dramatic climate swings in this region put a lot of stress on houses. Proper caulking and sealing are essential for exterior and interior paint jobs.

Caulk is a flexible, adhesive sealant that fills in cracks, gaps, seams, and joints. It works to protect against drafts, moisture, pests, and more. With the many older, historic homes in Grand Rapids neighborhoods and extreme weather conditions, vigilant caulking is key. It defends against potential water damage, rotting, and decay while giving freshly painted trims, sidings, and corners a flawless finish.

This is the second project we used That 1 Painter for and I'm very pleased with the experience. Carlos was an excellent communicator and showed up when he said he would -- I don't take that for granted! I got multiple prices and That 1 was the lowest. If needed, I will use again! My thanks to Carlos and his team!
