From Our Tools & Supplies Department: Let’s talk caulk and choosing the right product for your job!

WE LOVE Pro Stretch caulk ! It can stretch up to 800% its original size. That’s impressive! And it will return to within 98% of its’ original size! On a home’s exterior, high-quality caulk is critical—it locks out water, protecting homes against rot and peeling paint.

Interior—For most areas, especially trim or new construction, Pro Stretch can be your “go-to” caulk, in clear, white, or a wide selection of popular colors. And, it is paintable, too!



Exterior—For most areas, Pro Stretch, of course!

What is the Best Caulk for Gutters?

Lexel Urethane and Through the Roof Urethane. Lexel is available in clear and white, and should be used anywhere silicone would be used. Unlike silicon, Lexel does no stay sticky and can be painted. Through the Roof is great for patching roof area such as flashing. Being clear allows the natural color of the roof to show through, instead of the ugly, black asphalt product normally used.

What is the Best Caulk for Kitchens and Bathrooms?

Cleanz Mold and Mildew proof caulk that is waterproof is the best. Although most caulks are waterproof and have some measure of mold and mildew resistance, caulk that is specifically made for the moist conditions in kitchens and bathrooms is best.

What is the Best Caulk for Concrete and Masonry?

Mor-Flex and Slab caulks are great for fixing cracks in mortar and concrete. Mor-Flex has a texture similar to the mortar between bricks and block. Slab has the same look as poured concrete for repairs that practically disappear! NP-1 is great for expansion joints in concrete, and around door and window installations.

Which caulk is the most eco friendly?

Most acrylic / latex caulks are eco friendly as they are water based.. There are some solvent based caulks that have to be tooled with mineral spirits that are less eco friendly.

Can you custom match caulk colors?

Yes, we can match paint to make custom colored caulk, or we can use your paint to make caulk just the right color.
