Exterior Caulking

What This Service Involves

The joints around siding, trim, windows, and penetrations are constant targets for our region's persistent rain. We remove failed caulk and apply durable exterior sealant rated to flex and hold through wet, variable weather. Sealing these gaps keeps water out of the wall assembly and cuts the drafts that raise heating costs. It is one of the most cost-effective steps to protect a home's exterior.
