YOU WOULDN’T LET A PAINTER BUILD YOUR HOUSE, WOULD YOU?
Anyone can apply a caulking joint, but it doesn’t mean that they should. You are taking a big risk due to a lack of experience by allowing an unqualified person to seal your home.
NOT EVERY CONTRACTOR IS A CAULKING CONTRACTOR.
Upon inquiring about window services from siding and mason companies, you may be offered to add caulking services at a discounted price or even for free as part of an attractive package deal. It would be best to inquire about their expertise , the employees’ caulking experience, the warranty, and the products they use.
If a window company offers you free caulking as part of their service, ask how long do they guarantee the application for? Should the answer be between 1 to 3 years, the product quality is most likely inferior. A top-grade caulking product should last for ten years or more for the residential sector.
HERE ARE THE REASONS FOR HIRING A REAL CAULKING SPECIALIST FOR A CAULKING JOB
Access to commercial-grade sealants
A specialist caulking company will purchase commercial-grade sealants of high quality directly from the manufacturer.

Caulking the wrong openings :
Here at Calfeutrage Apex, too often, we find caulking mistakes that lead to severe and costly damages of a home or a building due to lack of knowledge and experience. For example, the wrongly sealed window flashings and openings, that must remain open to allow water to exit the structure.
Some openings such as flashings, weep holes and the bottom of sidings must remain open for water to evacuate the building and allow air circulation. When sealed, these openings can not allow rainwater to exit from behind the siding or away from a window and as a result, water may infiltrate the building.
Errors like that often lead to severe damages that take homeowners years to find, as water accumulates behind the walls and causes rotting and fungi that eat at the building’s materials.
Neglecting to caulk ALL openings
At calfeutrage Apex, we educate our clients about all the elements that must be caulked in order to prevent: water infiltrations, air leaks and parasite intrusions. It is wrong to think that caulking is uniquely for doors and windows. Neglecting to waterproof and airproof other openings is a mistake that can lead to damages of your home and building.
The Calfeutrage Apex inspectors give our customers an itemized list of every element that requires sealing.
A warranty, responsibility for the job.
