Whether your home is 100 years old or brand-new, keeping track of your exterior caulking and sealants will guarantee the longevity of your home's exterior envelope. Caulking breaks down over time from exposure to the elements and UV. It is essential to walk around your home multiple times per year to verify changes occurring along the exterior of your home. All-Pro Caulking uses the highest quality sealant materials for our residential clients. Give us a call today for more information.

Caulking can be one of the most overlooked aspects of home maintenance. Residential caulking can help shield your home from water intrusion, loss of energy efficiency, and those not so loved pests. Caulking can also help with curb appeal, translating to higher home values. It is essential to understand how caulking services can help stop costly future home repairs.  Investing in residential caulking may seem like an optional decision. Those tiny cracks, gaps, or crevices may not seem like a big deal. However, it's essential to understand that those small crevices can lead to significant issues.  

The exterior envelope of a home is a homeowner's first defense against the elements. Cracks and gaps around windows and doors can allow the elements in and begin to damage your home. Exterior caulking is essential for keeping out moisture, pests and saving on energy bills, ensuring exterior openings around your home, such as windows, doors, and vents, are sealed. We always recommend that homeowners walk around the exterior of their home multiple times a year. This helps to recognize the change to the home's exterior and take the proper steps to fix it before it becomes a more expensive problem. There are two main types of exterior caulking materials, Polyurethane and Silicone. Polyurethane is a paintable caulking material designed for an aggressive adhesion to most substrates. Each material is designed for a specific application and environment to be used.  Silicone is a non-paintable material designed to better resist UV damage and exterior elements. Silicone has the most extended life of most exterior sealant materials. 

Interior caulking helps homeowners in multiple ways. Interior caulking helps hide small joints, uneven surfaces, and seams from an aesthetic standpoint. Interior caulking also helps stop drafts around window and door frames, helping with your energy bills. It helps prevent insects from entering the home and causing damage to the structure.

Caulking materials come in a variety of colors and allow All-Pro Caulking to color match almost any surface. All-Pro Caulking takes pride in color matching all the caulking we provide. Why not color match the interior or exterior surface and help the caulk joints disappear, rather than making them stand out. Give us a call today for a free estimate.

Sanitary Silicone – Help stop the mold growth in your kitchen and bathrooms. Sanitary silicones are designed to be used in bathrooms, kitchens, and restaurants. It is specifically designed to resist the growth of mold and mildew in continuously wet environments.   

Latex – Latex caulking is used on the interior of your home. Latex is paintable caulking typically used around trim work, windows, doors, and other areas requiring paintable caulking. Latex is not designed to be used outdoors or in wet environments. Latex is not intended to be used in joints with known movement. 

Polyurethane – Polyurethane is a paintable caulking material designed for aggressive adhesion to most substrates. Polyurethane is a long-lasting material when used on the interior of a home. It promotes excellent elasticity, especially for locations that require paintwork to be completed. This material is a perfect choice for interior and exterior applications. Polyurethane is an ideal replacement for latex on interior joints with known movement, or simply a higher-end material is needed. Polyurethane is also better for applications that may be submerged in water for long periods. 

Silicone – Silicone is a non-paintable material designed to resist UV and exterior elements damage. Silicone has the most extended life of most exterior sealant materials. Silicone is not intended to be placed in locations where joints could be submerged in water for long periods. These locations will be better suited for Polyurethane caulking. 

Fire Caulking -Typically required under specific local, state, and federal building codes. Homeowners may need specific fire caulking along firewalls separating townhomes, condominiums, and other living spaces. All-Pro Caulking can help determine whether fire caulking would be required in your home. 

Residential Window Glazing – Window glazing usually is caulking where the glass and frame come together around windows and doors using a silicone sealant. Windows will typically be sealed from the factory along these locations. Still, the environment and UV will begin to damage these areas and allow water intrusion into the home over time. For more information on window glazing, give us a call.
