In past blogs, I’ve explained the importance of prep to paint exterior of your home. I can’t emphasize enough to see the difference in the finished project when your house exterior walls have been carefully prepped before the start of painting.

Through caulking, the surface has to be prepared and smoothed over before painting and all the kinds of things that can cause holes, cracks, or spaces have to be ruled out.

Caulking before painting the exterior of your house is one of the most important steps in painting. Getting your exterior walls, roof, windows, and doors ready to paint through caulking helps create a smooth space and fills in the gaps.

At Super Painting Co, we are exterior home painting experts. Our vision is to deliver professionally painted homes with complete client satisfaction.

So What Exactly is Caulk?

Caulk is a sealant material that is specially designed to seal spaces, holes, and cracks that are an inch small. It is applied after the surface is scraped, sanded, and primed for paint.

There are different types of caulk to be used on different surfaces. For example, silicone, latex, oil, resin, polyurethane, and water-based foams –the purpose and usage of each is different on different surfaces. I use high quality caulk that can withstand extreme weather conditions.

Why Caulking is Important?

There are unlimited reasons of caulking as a prep for exterior painting projects.

• It stops letting the moisture in during winters which can periodically ruin both the interior and exterior of your home.
• Caulking saves and protects your house from water and snow.
• It smoothens fractured surfaces and gives an even canvas for painting
• Prevents insects from entering the house
• Helps in improving insulation of your house
• Professional caulking by an experienced painter completely prepares your house exteriors to get painted with perfect finish.

Here’s an example of my recently completed home exterior painting project in South Bay, CA.

House Exterior Painting Project in Harbor City, California

Matt contacted me after checking my reviews on YELP. He wanted to get his house exterior painted. According to him, it quite a challenging project since the exterior of his home was overdue for painting.

Matte contacted me to discuss this project and invited for the site inspection to get an estimate. After seeing his house I realized it wasn’t just a paint and brush task. The house needed proper priming and prepping before applying coats.

The surface got really rough since it wasn’t painted for years. Matte’s wife, on the other hand, is a fine lady with picky choices. We discussed all of the concerns of this couple and provided agreeable solutions.

I also provided them with free color consultation and offered home exterior painting with 2 years warranty.

Overall, this project was challenging. Matte’s concerns were to get the job done right and his wife gets happy with the work.

We started the work by taking before pictures. We prepped the exterior walls with proper scraping, sanding, and priming the surfaces and did caulking where needed. The surfaces were withered due to humid and extreme temperatures. We applied multiple types of high quality caulks to cover the holes and cracks. After professionally priming the outer surfaces, we applied coats according to the owner’s choice.

I completed this project within the estimated time. The couple is extremely happy with our finished project. We took after pictures to help them compare how we removed all the flaws and provided perfectly finished and painted exterior. Matte left a review on YELP as he is one happy client of Super Painting Co.

A satisfied client is the best motivation for me.
