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.

Caulking is most commonly applied around windows and doors, but it can also be used to finish and seal other parts of the exterior of your homes such as concrete slabs, roof flashing, aluminum siding, and trim, vinyl siding and trim, and anywhere else you are worried about the weather.

Factors The Can Affect The Cost Of Exterior Caulking
There are several factors that can affect the cost of caulking the exterior of a house. Here are some to consider when preparing your budget:
- Size of the job: You will get a better price per linear meter if your project is big.
- Preparation work required: Do some of the preparation work yourself. By doing so, there will be less work for painters, so you’ll save some money.
- Urgency speed: If your job needs to be completed urgently, more painters will be needed and this will cost you more.
- Time of the year: It is important to choose an appropriate time to realize your exterior caulking project as it will influence the cost of the whole process. From September to December is usually the best time for your exterior caulking.
- The difficulty of the job: This is one of the most important factors for determining the cost of your project. Your exterior walls’ height, sharpness, and how easy it may be to reach those areas are important considerations. High and sharp walls require more work, so the cost for exterior caulking will be higher.
- Payment terms i.e. Visa vs e-transfer: Several clients prefer to pay with a credit card, however, these payments all come with extra fees that just increase the total price.
- You realize your painting projects ended up messy because cheap painters did poor work, so you need to start again!
Some common questions for Exterior Caulking
Does the price include materials and labor too?
Yes, labor and all materials required for exterior caulking are included.
Is it necessary to move things around and clear the areas to be caulked before the painters arrive?
Yes, painters can usually do it for you, but it will add to the overall estimate and will add to the number of hours of your project. It is usually fine to ask them for help with any oversized items that you are unable to move on your own; this is to allow them to paint.

Here are the two most popular means of applying exterior caulking:
Option 1:
- Firstly, we completely remove the existing caulking, insulate, and then re-caulk the entire window or door. In other words, this means scraping and chiseling out all the existing caulking, then filling the gap with foam insulation. To finish, we run a new bead of high-quality industrial caulking across the gap to seal the entire area. It is more expensive, but at the same time is the most thorough method of external caulking.
Option 2:
Simply fill in all the existing gaps with new high-quality Dap or Mono caulking. Next, we clear away the loose debris before we start, but if the caulking is old, weak, and brittle it is always better to remove it before applying new caulk. Overall, this is a less expensive option, and we always recommend going with Option 1 because it provides a better seal. However, if you’re worried about your budget, sometimes this method works just as well.
