What happens here
Once the new siding piece is securely installed, apply exterior-grade caulk along all seams and joints where the new siding meets adjacent surfaces, such as other siding planks, trim, or brickwork. Use a caulk gun to apply a continuous bead and then smooth it with a wet finger or a specialized caulk smoothing tool for a clean, professional, and weather-tight seal.
Goal: Weatherproof the newly installed siding and create a finished look.
Tools and materials
- Caulk Gun — To dispense the caulk smoothly and evenly
