Frequently Asked Questions
Quality caulk in a bathroom lasts five to ten years with regular cleaning. If it is cracking, molding, or pulling away, it is time to replace it regardless of age.
We remove the old caulk completely before applying new material. Caulking over old caulk never bonds properly and always fails faster. It is done right or not at all.
We use the right product for each application: silicone for wet areas like tubs and showers, paintable acrylic latex for trim and windows. The right caulk for the right surface.
A standard bathroom re-caulk takes one to two hours. Multiple areas or full window caulking can take two to four hours.
Yes. Failed caulk around a tub or shower allows water to get behind the tile and into the subfloor. We have seen significant water damage that started with a small caulk failure that was ignored.
Press on the tile or wall surface around the tub and shower. If it flexes, feels soft, or the tile sounds hollow when tapped, water has likely gotten behind the surface and the issue is bigger than new caulk. We check the substrate condition before starting.
New caulk applied over old caulk does not bond properly and fails quickly. We remove all old material completely, preps the surface dry, and uses the correct product for the application. That is the difference between caulk that lasts years and caulk that fails in months.
Yes. We work through all the caulking locations in one visit using the correct product for each application. Wet area silicone for showers, paintable latex for trim and windows, and exterior-grade sealant for outside joints.
Yes. The surface needs to be dry for at least 24 hours before new caulk is applied. If you can avoid using the shower the night before, that helps. We check the surface before starting.
