Another one of the most common paint problems in South Carolina is cracking. When building and painting your house, builders often use low-quality and inexpensive caulking. As a result, your house expands and contracts with changes in temperature, which can cause the caulking to break down, leading to cracking and leaving your home exposed. Moisture can seep into these cracks and cause boards to warp or rot from the inside out, which can be quite expensive to repair.
To protect your home from these issues, we strongly advise resealing all the cracks with siliconized acrylic caulking. This caulking is more flexible than standard contractor caulking and can move with your house, making it more durable and longer-lasting. However, silicon itself is not conducive to painting, which is why our experienced painters recommend using siliconized acrylic caulking that is both paintable and durable to seal your home’s cracks effectively.
