Caulking Maintenance

Caulking is a maintenance item that should be done regularly as needed around tubs, toilets & windows. Caulk is not a long lasting material, and will dry or shrink from warm, cool and dry environments and from normal settling.

Silicone Caulk: Caulking that contains silicone will not accept paint but works best where water is present (for example, where the tub meets tile or counter top meets the tile backsplash).

Acrylic/Latex Caulk: Acrylic/latex caulking is appropriate for an area that requires painting (for example, around windows or along baseboards).
