Professional Caulking That Protects and Performs
Serving Salt Lake County & Surrounding Areas
Comprehensive Caulking Solutions for Homes and Buildings
What Caulking Does and Why It Matters
Quality caulking seals gaps and joints across masonry, concrete, stone, stucco, metal, glass, and wood to prevent water intrusion, drafts, and pest entry. Done correctly, it improves energy efficiency, enhances indoor comfort, reduces noise transfer, and preserves finishes by keeping moisture where it belongs—outside the building envelope.
Because buildings move with temperature changes, settling, and wind loads, joints must flex without tearing or debonding. JB Masonry designs and installs joints to industry standards, using backer rod and proper joint geometry to promote two-sided adhesion, prevent three-sided stress, and ensure a durable, watertight seal that can expand and contract through the seasons.
Surface Prep, Product Selection, and Application Standards
We start with a detailed site assessment to identify failing sealants, water paths, and substrate conditions. Our technicians remove deteriorated material, clean substrates mechanically and chemically as needed, and verify dryness, temperature, and dew point before priming. We follow manufacturer requirements so the sealant bonds to sound, contaminant-free surfaces for maximum performance.
Joints are sized and prepared with closed-cell backer rod or bond-breaker tape to achieve the correct width-to-depth ratio. We select sealants for movement capability, UV resistance, and compatibility, then apply and tool them to a smooth, weather-shedding profile. After cure, we perform quality checks, optional water testing, and provide maintenance guidance to ensure long-term results.
Silicones, Polyurethanes, Hybrids, and Specialty Sealants
Different applications demand different chemistries. Neutral-cure silicones excel in UV exposure and glazing because they remain flexible and resist weathering. Polyurethanes offer strong adhesion and are often chosen where paintability and abrasion resistance are priorities. Advanced hybrid sealants (such as STPE) deliver low VOCs, fast cure, and paintability, with broad compatibility across common construction materials and movement ratings meeting ASTM C920.
Typical applications include window and door perimeters, control and expansion joints in masonry and concrete, precast panel joints, EIFS and stucco transitions, siding interfaces, counterflashing terminations, and penetrations. We design joints for optimal performance—often targeting a 2:1 width-to-depth ratio—and install appropriately sized backer rod to maintain joint shape and promote two-sided adhesion.
For specialized needs, we offer submerged-grade silicones for intermittently wet areas, FDA-compliant options for food-related environments, fire- and smoke-rated sealants for rated assemblies, and acoustical sealants for sound control. Color-matching options help blend with brick, stone, or metal finishes. We can provide mockups, documentation, and maintenance plans to maximize service life.
