What happens here
After priming and ensuring all surfaces are smooth, proceed to caulk all visible gaps, seams, and nail holes on the siding and trim using Sherwin Williams 950a caulk. This step is critical for sealing the house against moisture, improving energy efficiency, and creating a perfectly smooth, continuous surface that will result in a professional-looking paint finish. Allow the caulk to cure fully according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Goal: Seal gaps and smooth surfaces for a finished look
