Properly caulking your home or commercial property is an affordable and effective way of maintaining your home. There are a variety of reasons for this, but below you will find the most important.
- Conserving Energy
This can save a homeowner over 25% on their heating and cooling bill. A professional caulking contractor will thoroughly check for drafts and leaks. Caulking and weather-stripping are simple and inexpensive solutions that will prevent heat from escaping the home. - Maintain a home’s temperature
Not only does properly sealing your home save on utilities, but it also has the added benefit of maintaining your homes temperature. No drafts, air leakages or heat escaping from your home and no cold spots in your house. Stay comfortable in every room of your property. - Prevent Water Damage
When ice and snow melt in early spring, many homes become vulnerable to water leaking through the cracks and gaps around your property’s structure. This is also very important for condo living because condo owners don’t always have control on how the overall building structure is being maintained. Properly sealing apartments will do an effective job of keeping damage away from your property.
Seal and clean up paint and finishings. Nothing improves the look of a fresh coat of paint or the installation of new baseboards and crown moulding like an expertly applied bead of caulking. Fix paint marks and gaps in moulding creating a beautiful, professionals finish to new renovations or restoration.
