What to Caulk on the Exterior of a New Construction Home | Caulking Tips for a Weatherproof Finish
What happens here
The presenter is working on the exterior of a new construction home. He explains that due to the project starting in winter with adverse weather conditions (snow, rain, low temperatures), he had to hand-roll and paint the fascia before the roof and drip metal were installed to protect it from water splatter. This unconventional timeline meant that some typical construction steps, like thorough caulking, were either missed or done sub-optimally. He highlights that the siding contractors (siders) often do not caulk to his standards, necessitating his intervention to touch up, fix, or caulk missed areas.
Goal: The presenter introduces the project: thorough exterior caulking on a new construction home that began in winter, leading to some incomplete or poorly executed initial caulking by other contractors. He explains the need for proper caulking to prevent weather damage and improve aesthetics.
