Two benefits of re-caulking your windows and doors when completing other renovations:
KEEP THE WATER AND WEATHER OUT
• Exterior caulking seals up any gaps or cracks between the wall and your windows or doors. Small cracks may appear due to natural weathering, or even just the house settling.
• Many Toronto homes are older and need preventative maintenance. These cracks might start small, but they can cause big problems later on.
• Sealing your windows and doors prevents water from penetrating into the walls or the inside of the house, which can cause flooding, moisture build-up, and mold.


KEEP YOUR MONEY IN
• Repairing water damage from storms and floods is one of our most common calls here at Home Painters Toronto. Professionally caulked and sealed windows and doors can prevent or reduce the impact of leaks, saving you money on costly repairs.
• Exterior Caulking can also help lower your heating and cooling costs. You don’t want your air conditioner working overtime in the summer if properly caulking your windows can keep that cool air inside where it belongs.
• Importantly, exterior caulking your windows and doors can protect your overall investment and extend the life of your home.
