RESIDENTIAL EXTERIOR CAULKING

We all consider our home our haven that protects us from almost anything! However, your home’s exterior may only be as secure as free of gaps and cracks. That is why exterior caulking is an important part of overall house caulking.

Taking care of minor gaps and fractures along with exterior windows and windowsills and your garage and garage doors may greatly influence your property. Even if your property is in good shape, exterior caulking must be tidied up regularly.

Please don’t skip this step since it will cost you later.

Cold air may easily enter through those little holes in your windows, as can sunlight. This will eventually lead to an increase in your electricity bill. However, simply filling in those gaps in the windows can save you a good amount of money during the year!

You may also minimize air leaks and pest infestations and boost your home’s aesthetic appeal by investing in residential exterior caulking.

WINDOW CAULKING

A caulked window avoids air leaks, water, and pests out of your home. Whether your house is new or old, the spaces between windows and frames should permanently be sealed.

Sealants deteriorate due to weather conditions, sunlight exposure, and grime. That is why you should caulk windows regularly. In addition, exterior window caulking maintenance is required to keep your home or structure safe from air leaks, water penetration, and insect incursion due to an old caulk in your windows.

RESIDENTIAL INTERIOR CAULKING

Whenever it comes to residential caulking Colorado Springs, don’t forget about the interior of your house, especially your windows! Interior residential caulking secures your property from a range of problems.

Caulks are applied with a caulking gun. They can blend in with the surroundings, including your windowsill or your entire window frame, when done correctly. Interior caulking is commonly used to eliminate air leaks, seal gaps around the window frame and doors, and close gaps so insects and other pests cannot enter your home and damage its structure.

 

FAQ’S

What is the Process of Professional Residential Caulking?2022-05-31T14:25:53+00:00
 
WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF PROFESSIONAL RESIDENTIAL CAULKING?

Maintaining and replacing caulk in your home is a job that needs both skill and patience. The caulking contractors at TECC Painting can work on your house’s interior and exterior.

Inspect the Current Caulk

Our residential caulking services begin with an inspection of your property. It usually focuses on the main sections of the house where caulk is significant, like your windows. During the appointment, the contractors will assess your caulk for any issues. They also look for water damage or air leaks, as moisture might signify a serious problem, particularly in windows.

Remove the Old Caulk

Before applying fresh caulk, we must first remove the old one along with the masking tape if there is one. Then, the old caulk is removed using special solvents to make room for the fresh caulk. After removing the chipped or cracked caulk in your walls and windows, contractors will apply a fresh coating of caulk, including your entire window or window trim.

Determine the Best Caulk

There is a variety of caulk types for residential caulking services, each tailored for specialized functions, including those for your windows. These have varied applications and purposes, so only an experienced caulking contractor will know which caulk to use for your windows or walls.

Apply Caulk with a Caulk Gun

The final stage in the process involves determining the most appropriate caulking supplies. This includes everything from selecting the right caulking gun in your local hardware store to ensuring a proper caulk application. Contractors apply caulk properly with the appropriate tools and the correct caulk.

What are the types of caulking our company uses?2022-05-31T14:24:55+00:00
 
WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF CAULKING OUR COMPANY USES?

Acrylic Latex

Because latex sealants are paintable, they are ideal for interior application, especially for your window. However, latex caulk is not suitable for extreme temperature changes that are often subjected to your windows. Thus, it should never be used in exterior caulking, especially if you live in very hot or cold areas.

Polyurethane Caulk

Because it is exceedingly durable, it is frequently used in commercial properties. However, polyurethane has less flexibility than other types of caulks and cannot be used in freezing temperatures.

Polyurethane application is way more difficult than other kinds and removing old caulk from a masonry surface may take twice as long as removing silicone sealer in a window caulking. Though you can probably purchase this at a local hardware store and a caulking gun, avoid doing it yourself.

Silicon-based Caulk

Silicone-based caulk is a good solution for structures in cold or hot climates. Because of its versatility and elasticity, this caulk may change shape in response to weather variations without breaking or splitting surfaces like your windows.

Its use is simple and convenient, and it may be used in buildings with temperatures ranging from -20 to +45 degrees Celsius. Unfortunately, silicone sealants cannot be painted over; nevertheless, most manufacturers now produce silicone-based sealants in various colors.

To obtain the cleanest possible result and perfectly straight line, it is best to use masking tape. Contractors apply the tape to cover both sides of the line to be sealed, and then remove the tape before the sealant is dry.

Silicone caulk may be used on various surfaces and cures within 24 hours.

How are caulking interior windowsills done?2022-05-31T14:23:40+00:00
 
HOW ARE CAULKING INTERIOR WINDOWSILLS DONE?

To protect the finish on your windowsills, we begin by gently removing away the masonry surface around the crack.

Next, clean any dust from the windows to be mended. A clean line surface will guarantee that your new caulk will last longer.

Then, using a quality sealing product, repair the space you’ve shown in your sill. Fill the gaps with a good quantity of sealant using a caulk gun. Remove any overhangs with a putty knife and spread the extra caulk.

Lastly, polish the seams for an airtight seal and a clean look.

Can you apply caulk to weep holes?2022-05-31T14:22:58+00:00
 
CAN YOU APPLY CAULK TO WEEP HOLES?

A weep hole is a tiny gap in a masonry siding that lets water drain. To enable drainage, these are positioned at the bottom of a structure.

Many window and patio door frames have it to allow the water held inside the slide beam frames to flow outside your window trim. Water will become trapped if these weep holes are shut, or it will locate a low spot and leave towards inside the building. Once frozen, the ice’s growth might cause harm to the surrounding areas, such as your windows. A wet finger will suffice in the caulk application if a putty knife is unavailable.
