Noise Reduction
Energy Savings
When Your Building’s First Line of Defense Starts to Fail
Exterior caulking might seem like a minor detail—but it plays a major role in keeping your building dry, energy-efficient, and protected from damage. Over time, UV exposure, temperature swings, and building movement break down sealants around windows, doors, panels, and penetrations.
That’s why AFR Windows provides expert exterior caulking repair services for commercial and residential buildings across the Bay Area. Whether you manage a high-rise, own a duplex, or oversee a retail center, we help restore your building’s weatherproof seal and prevent costly water intrusion.
The Problem: Failed Caulking Leads to Big, Expensive Problems
Old or poorly applied caulking can crack, pull away, or shrink—allowing water and air to penetrate your structure. We frequently see:
Water stains or interior leaks near windows or walls
Drafts and rising energy costs from air infiltration
Mold and mildew from hidden moisture
Pest intrusion through open joints
Deterioration of surrounding materials (wood rot, rust, etc.)
In the Bay Area’s varied climate—from foggy coastal neighborhoods to hot East Bay suburbs—sealant failure accelerates quickly. And once water gets behind cladding or into wall cavities, repairs become much more complex and expensive.
