Cracked or missing caulk lets water into places it shouldn't be, around windows, trim, and countertops. Fresh caulking seals those gaps and gives a paint job a clean, finished look.
Cracked, shrunk, or failing caulk is cut out and removed rather than caulked over.
The gap is cleaned so the new caulk has a solid surface to adhere to.
We run a clean, even bead along the joint and tool it for a smooth finish.
We check the line for gaps or thin spots before moving to the next area.
Cracked or gapped caulk lines, caulk that's pulled away from the surface, or prepping trim and windows before a paint job are the usual reasons to recaulk. It's also worth checking anywhere you've noticed drafts or water staining near a window or door.
Caulking is part of prep and happens before painting, so the new caulk gets painted over for a seamless look.
Windows, exterior trim, interior baseboards, and countertop seams are the most common areas.
Caulking seals gaps that let air and moisture through, which can help with both. Larger gaps may need more than caulk alone.
It depends on the location and exposure, but caulk that's cracking, shrinking, or pulling away is a sign it's due for replacement.
