Caulking for Window Joint Sealants
In order to maintain optimal and reliable insulation and efficiency, caulking is applied to seal the gaps and joints in between the elements of windows. A flexible, durable material, caulking allows for the typical movements of window components without coming loose. But when caulking is aged or damaged, it can display a number of warning signs of the need for replacement including rising utility bills, drafts, loose panes and dampness around the windows.
Routine maintenance and our expert caulking services reduces the risks of these problems and helps protect the integrity of your windows.

Caulking for Masonry Joint Sealants
Exterior caulking and joint sealants fulfill a critical role in protecting home and commercial building facades against air and moisture infiltration. Sealants are commonly applied to seal the perimeters of gaps and structural control joints. There are many varieties of exterior caulk joint sealants available these days. Most offer a service lifespan of up to 20 years when properly installed. The duration is largely dependent upon factors such as the temperature of the substrate, exposure to UV rays and the contraction and expansion of the related materials.
Overlooking failed, aging masonry sealant joints can result in steady infiltration of air and moisture. Consequently, that means wasted energy. Moisture infiltration, for instance, will often reveal itself as water leaks that might or might not be visible on the interior of the home or commercial building. Some of the most common locations to check for leaks are ceiling tiles, interior windowsills
and flooring where they connect with the exterior walls. If not corrected promptly, problems such as mold and mildew growth, rotting wood and damages to interior finishes can develop.
