Where We Can Apply Our Caulking Solutions
Caulk is a simple home maintenance product that doesn’t radically change your home’s appearance. However, the difference the right caulk can make is stunning. If you’re unfamiliar with caulking, it’s a sealant used on your home’s inside and outside surfaces and features. Mr. Handyman of E. Nashville and Hendersonville’s technicians use caulk to fill small spaces and cracks between various materials and features. We offer caulking services with two functions. The first is to keep water out of your house, and the second is to keep out air. Our team can also use caulking to complete certain installations or repairs to give them a fully finished aesthetic. Homeowners considering lowering their energy bills through household energy efficiency improvements can significantly benefit from professional caulking. Another excellent home efficiency improvement method involves concentrating on your home’s exterior areas during winter and summer. We’ve listed and described some residential areas we recommend using caulk:
- Windows – Sealing the windows around your home can substantially impact your energy costs. Even if you don’t see gaps in your windows, air leaks frequently contribute to increased energy bills. Call Mr. Handyman of E. Nashville and Hendersonville if you have dried or flaking caulk in these areas. Our home improvement technicians will give your windows an airtight seal every time we apply caulk.
- Doors – Like windows, your door frames can leak a staggering amount of air. Furthermore, you can use a sealant to help protect your doors against rot and water damage.
- Bathrooms – We strongly recommend sealing all gaps in your bathrooms. This room has routine exposure to water and moisture. We suggest sealing areas like the joints between a wall and tile flooring, joints between a bathtub and floor, and joints between a bathtub and wall. Our expert team will gladly help seal and prevent water leaks anywhere water shouldn’t escape or infiltrate.
- Kitchens – Besides your bathroom, your kitchen is subject to regular water exposure. Verifying you have an airtight and watertight seal around where your sink meets the countertop is vital. You can avoid unnecessary home repairs by having our professionals perform high-quality caulking services.
Reliable Expertise in Different Caulk Types
If you’re considering performing your own caulking around the house, Mr. Handyman of E. Nashville and Hendersonville suggests thoroughly researching this task before starting. When you begin sealing your windows and kitchen, you must complete it using the correct caulk for these specific spaces and apply it properly to seal them tightly. Leaving behind any gaps will expose your home to water damage. When sealing your bathroom, doorways, bathroom, and attic is on your to-do list, reach out to our professional team for seasoned help. We’ll guarantee quick and efficient work when performing the job. Half the work of any caulking project is ensuring you do it with the right product for the job. Below, you can read through some more common sealant types we use when caulking various residential areas:
- Latex – This type’s ease of use and application makes it the most popular option homeowners choose when they want to seal a project independently. You can easily paint over latex sealant as well. While this sealant is easy to use, professionals know acrylic latex has a reputation for drying out and breaking down from exposure to sunlight.
- Silicone – While you can’t paint over all types of silicone sealants, they do hold up better than latex-based options. Applying silicone sealant requires some experience because of its rigidity property.
- Exterior – Industry manufacturers design exterior caulk to resist moisture and effectively endure the sun’s harsh ultraviolet (UV) rays. These properties make exterior caulk an outstanding option for dry caulks and windows.
- Mildew-Resistant – This caulk type is our number one choice when performing bathroom repairs because of its excellent endurance in humid environments.
- Fire-Retardant – This non-combustible sealant is safe, and you should use it around pipes, wiring, and HVAC ducts.
