Almost every expensive failure we repair — rot, spalls, peeling paint — began at an open joint. Water doesn't need much: a failed bead at a window perimeter, a gap where trim meets siding, a dried-out expansion joint. Deterrent is always the best policy, and caulking is the deterrent.
Solidarity treats caulking as a craft, not an afterthought. Old, failed sealant is cut out rather than buried, joints are cleaned, and the right sealant is matched to the movement and material of each joint — then tooled clean so it disappears into the paint lines.
Caulking and sealing is included in every full repaint's preparation, and it's also available as standalone maintenance — the small job that prevents the big one.
Why sealant choice matters
Joints move. A sealant that's too rigid cracks; one applied over failed material lets go. Matching sealant to the joint — and replacing rather than topping off — is why the work lasts.
