Exterior Caulking | Master Sealing Your Home To Paint
What happens here
Apply caulk around exterior fixtures, such as electrical boxes and ventilation vents. For fixtures made of materials like powder-coated metal, ensure the chosen caulk is designed to adhere well to that specific surface. For vents, caulking is primarily for aesthetics to create a cleaner look. Apply a bead of caulk around the perimeter of each fixture and smooth it with a gloved finger. For vent grates, use a flat finger to avoid getting caulk into the slats. These caulked areas will typically be painted to match the house, so the caulk color doesn't need to be exact.
Goal: Caulk around exterior fixtures like electrical boxes and vents, paying attention to the material of the fixture and ensuring thorough sealing.
