Sealant Removal and Installation

Home Services Waterproofing & Restoration Services Sealant Removal and Installation

Precise applications ensuring durability and leak prevention

When old or failing sealants break down, buildings become vulnerable to water infiltration, energy loss, and structural damage. At AFR, we specialize in the expert removal of deteriorated sealants and the precise installation of high-performance sealant systems tailored to each building’s materials and movement characteristics.

Our experienced team ensures clean removals and applies industry-leading sealants that provide long-lasting adhesion, flexibility, and weather resistance. Whether it’s a high-rise commercial facade or a historic residential property, we understand the critical role sealants play in waterproofing and maintaining your building’s integrity.

Benefits of our sealant services:

    • Prevent leaks, drafts, and moisture damage

    • Extend the life of building materials

    • Improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort

    • Match aesthetics with clean, professional finishes

Trust AFR to seal the gaps others miss. Our work is backed by decades of hands-on experience and a commitment to detail that ensures a tight building envelope and long-term peace of mind.

The Smallest Gaps Can Lead to the Biggest Problems

Sealants are your building’s first line of defense against water, air, and energy loss. But over time, UV exposure, temperature shifts, and building movement can cause sealants to dry, crack, or detach—especially in the Bay Area’s mix of fog, salt air, and seismic activity.

At AFR Windows, we specialize in professional sealant removal and installation services that protect your property from leaks, mold, and costly damage—without compromising the building’s appearance or performance.


The Problem: Aging or Improper Sealants Compromise Building Integrity

We often find that buildings constructed or last updated decades ago are now showing signs of sealant failure:

  • Visible cracking or shrinkage around joints and window perimeters

  • Water stains inside units or along exterior walls

  • Drafts and energy inefficiencies

  • Mold or mildew in ceilings and wall cavities

Even worse, many properties suffer from improper sealant application during past work—leading to premature failure or incompatibility with surrounding materials.


The Solution: Expert Sealant Systems That Seal, Flex, and Last

AFR Windows provides full-service sealant removal and reinstallation on commercial buildings, multifamily properties, and high-rises throughout the Bay Area.

Our process includes:

  • Thorough inspection of existing joints, substrates, and past work

  • Safe removal of failed sealant using specialized equipment

  • Substrate preparation and cleaning to ensure adhesion

  • Application of high-performance, building code-compliant sealants

  • Use of color-matched products for a seamless look

  • Final inspection to verify airtight, watertight seals

We use elastomeric, polyurethane, and silicone sealants—each selected based on building material, expansion movement, and exposure conditions.


Who We Serve

Our sealant work is trusted by:

  • HOAs and property managers maintaining aging multifamily exteriors

  • General contractors and architects needing long-lasting envelope protection

  • Commercial building owners facing facade leaks or code issues

  • Developers preparing buildings for final occupancy inspections

From expansion joints to curtain wall perimeters, our crews can scale up or down depending on your project size and timeline.


What Areas Typically Need Sealant Replacement?

Over time, sealants degrade in areas such as:

  • Window and door perimeters

  • Curtain wall transitions

  • Precast and concrete panel joints

  • Brick and masonry control joints

  • Stucco and EIFS termination points

  • Balcony-to-wall interfaces

  • Roof-to-wall or parapet joints

If your building is 15+ years old and has never had a sealant refresh—or if you’re seeing signs of water intrusion—it’s time to evaluate.


Sealant Installation Done Right, Every Time

Our sealant crews are:

✅ Manufacturer-certified and trained in multi-surface applications
✅ Equipped to work on occupied buildings with minimal disruption
✅ Experts in substrate compatibility and joint design
✅ Compliant with all OSHA, EPA, and city-specific guidelines
✅ Backed by warranty programs and documentation support

We don’t cut corners. We build seals that protect against weather, water, and warranty risk.


Why Property Owners Choose AFR for Sealant Work

Unlike general contractors or patch-and-paint services, AFR Windows specializes in building envelope integrity. We know what’s at stake when sealants fail—and how to ensure they don’t.

Our crews are proactive, responsive, and trained to identify issues that other vendors might miss. Whether you’re prepping for repainting, addressing tenant complaints, or responding to a failed inspection, we make sure your sealant systems are a strength, not a liability.


Keep Water Out, Air In, and Value Up

Don’t wait for leaks to tell you there’s a problem.
