Window Caulking Services for New Jersey
New Jersey receives its fair share of winter snow every year, but that’s no reason to pay high energy bills and stay cold when a little restoration could fix the problem. Professional exterior and interior caulking keeps the temperature regulated throughout the year. Sealing air leaks with proper window caulking around your window is an important restoration service to maintain a comfortable environment in your home and provide efficient heating during the winter and coolingin during the summer.
Caulking a window is a small part of the home and these services are often neglected by homeowners. A properly caulked window can also help reduce your energy bills by adding an additional degree of insulation.
Exterior Caulk
Exterior caulking is your home’s first line of defense against the elements, preventing water damage, mold, and pests from causing a problem. This material must last for several years exposed to a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions.
Waterproof, shrinkproof, exterior silicone caulking is the ideal material for use with most exterior windows.
We also offer commercial window caulking services as well.
Interior Caulk
Interior caulking isessential to regulating your home’s temperature and adds a second layer of protection to help keep your family save from the elements.
This type of caulking does not need to be as durable as exterior caulking on doors that see heavy use, but still requires a good shrinkproof, waterproof silicone material to ensure it lasts as long as possible without the caulking peeling or cracking along the window seam.
How Much Does It Cost to Recaulk?
Caulking a window is much different from caulking doors or a bathtub. These window services can be difficult and require more precision to ensure there are no gaps. A window caulking service is often priced by the linear foot.
For a single seal on a national average, expect to pay anywhere from $70 to $90 depending on the size of your window. Larger or more complex window shapes may have additional charges as the seal length is extended, while a smaller than average window will be less costly.
By using a professional window caulking service, your restoration is more likely to have complete and seamless seals from each of the window joints, offering better energy efficiency and protection from the elements. This cost per complete seal should be counted twice, once for an exterior seal and once for an interior seal.
To get the best results, however, these professionals must first remove old caulking. The work spent removing old and damaged caulking is often included in the company’s estimate.

How Do You Know When to Replace Caulk?
You can often tell if it’s time to re-caulk your residential windows if you close your window and hold your hand along the sill where the wall meets the window.
Another common method is to turn off any fans or AC units in the room and hold a lit candle along the inside of the window seam. Watch the flame carefully to see if it flickers, as that will tell you where any drafts are letting air through from the outside.
A tell-tale sign of caulking that can cause problems are visible cracks or mold spots along the material. This can mean that the caulking previously used is not ideal for the application if recently had services done along the glass or seam, or that it has worn out and should be replaced.
Does Caulk Save on Energy Bills?
Yes, caulking saves on energy bills and can provide an essential insulation for extreme temperatures that stops air leaks.
When done professionally, window caulking services better insulate your home from the outside and fills internal cracks between building materials to create a more solid structure.
Not only do these services save you money on energy bills, but it can help keep your home free of unnecessary repairs and degradation of building materials for many years.
How Long Does Caulking Last in the Average Home?
When the correct window caulking is applied for the job, the material can last for up to 5 years. However, caulking can wear out sooner if exposed to heavy damage or extreme weather conditions. If you notice an unexpected rise in energy usage, it may be the right season to check the window caulking.
It’s important to use the appropriate caulking material when working with glass and siding seams. You will need a waterproof, mold-resistant caulking, and to ensure that the interior and exterior are both caulked to avoid one-way drafts.
While caulking will take some work and need to be replaced every few years, the cost to do so is minimal compared to the repairs and loss of energy efficiency that cracked and old caulking causes.
There are many types of caulk available, a good summary of these can be found on the Department of Energy’s Caulking Page.

Caulking Services
Proper window caulking is a part of your home’s protection from the elements, even on the inside. Cracked, old caulking can fail, causing damages as a result of that exposure. Unfortunately, any house that has recently undergone restoration or renovation often has neglected window services. A good window caulking service is valuable to the longevity of your house.
Old and defunct exterior caulking can allow water to seep in-between siding or into the foundation of your building, depending on where the window is located. While a small amount of water may not be a problem in the short-term, accumulated water over a longer period of time can significantly impact your home’s foundation and the integrity of internal building materials.
Interior residential caulking adds a second layer of protection and prevents heating and cooling from escaping to the outside, creating better energy efficiency within the home. When this caulking wears out, your energy bill can increase and your home’s temperature may not be as well-regulated as your family needs. Additionally, both layers help keep out unwanted pests that may find their way through the cracks.
Aside from window caulking we also offer other services such as Pool Caulking.
