FAQ

How long does caulking last?
Depends on exposure and quality of material — typically 5‑10 years for exterior; interior areas may last longer. UV and moisture degrade sealant over time.

What type of sealant do you use?
We use high‑quality silicone or polyurethane sealants appropriate for the task (bath-rated, exterior‑grade, mildew resistant, etc.).

Do you need to remove old caulk?
Yes — proper removal and surface cleaning/preparation is essential for adhesion and seal quality.
