FAQ:
Question: What time of the year is best to do caulking?
Answer: All year round at temperatures around + 30 through -29 Celsius. Caulking is commercial grade and can not be bought in the
local hardware stores. Doesn't freeze at cold temperatures. The only thing that may freeze it us.
Question: What type of caulking do you use?
Answer: Most application for residential area silicone brands which last between 10 to 15 Years. Urethane caulking which last 10 to
15 years. (note: the details about the products say it will last longer than stated above. It depends on what materials are bonding and
how long they will last) so this give you a idea what quality line of products we use.
Question: How do you know the caulking needs to be redone?
Answer: Any average person can see the cracks, spilt, even missing all together around the windows & doors. Usually the top of the
frames of the window & doors goes first. The second is the sides, last is the bottom. (This is base on 4700 plus homes completed
over 11 years we have completed). Another way to know the caulking sealant is in bad shape is the draft around the frames in the
cooler seasons. (sometimes it can be the windows or doors manufacturing defects in the seals or the seams. Once in a while the
glazing from glass to frame made need to be redone too).
Question: Do you need to come see the home first to give us a price?
Answer: For the removal of old caulking and re-caulking of residential homes. 95 percent of the time the price can be given over the
phone or via email form at our website without seeing it. The day we start or if a color needs to be verified we will inform you if there is
a price change before commencing the work in either case.
Question: Could you go over the old caulking to save money?
Answer: When going over the old caulking it will make the bead twice as big. You have only very little on the edges bonding.
Because the old caulking is dirty there will be very little bond to it.(other companies say you can go over it because it acts like a bond
breaker). The first thing in preparing the joint to receive sealant is to have a clean surface from dirt and dust.
Question: Can we choose the color?
Answer: In most cases we choose the color to match the windows. Sometimes we will choose the wall because it makes sense if the
standard color match better to go the route. The colour chart and the material itself doesn't match in some cases. This is why we
choose the color which will go on or we can put a sample on to show you what we would be using.
Question: Do you use spray foam before applying the new sealant?
Answer: Yes, we do spray foam before re-caulking. Some cases no spray foam is required (because there are no gaps to begin
with). We also use backer rod when gaps are to big to receive the new spray foam. Backer Rod is like foam on a spool at different
sizes 3/8 up to 4 inches.
Question: Do you include the vents and pipes around the home?
Answer: Yes!, We include the vents and pipes only when the whole house is being done. In some cases also, a vent maybe broken
and we will replace it free of charge when the whole house is being done.
Question: Is the caulking going to look neat?
Answer: Yes, in most cases it will look 95% better then what you current have there. The bead will be smooth, flat and neat.
Question: Do we need to be home?
Answer: No, you don't need to be home. You might have to leave the gates unlocked but nobody is required to take time off work.
Question: What type of payment do we take?
Answer: We accept cash, money orders, business cheques, and PayPal.
Question: How long will the work take?
Answer: Most homes take 1 day to complete.
Question: Is the price negotiable?
Answer: Our price is firm with no room to negotiate. It has been like this for 8 years.
Question: Will you clean up after your done the home?
Answer: Yes, we clean up after each home.
