Our services
Three trades, around your openings
We seal the joints, protect the frames and close the way in for pests.
Professional caulkingNew joints: cold air and water stay outside.
A cracked joint lets in cold air, water and insects. We remove all of the old sealant and apply a new joint, clean and continuous, around every opening of the building.

- Entire building façades

Aluminum claddingProtected frames, no more repainting.

Pest-proof caulkingEntry points sealed: mice and insects stay outside.

Our method
We never put new over old
New sealant doesn't stick to a worn joint. We remove the old one completely, then apply a continuous joint, tooled so water runs off.
- 01
Removal
We remove all of the old sealant. New sealant applied over old does not hold.
- 02
Preparation
Surfaces cleaned, dry and free of residue, so the sealant adheres.
- 03
Application
New sealant, in the colour you choose, applied in one continuous joint.
- 04
Tooling
The joint is smoothed and shaped so water runs off it.
- 05
Clean-up
We leave with the debris. You have nothing to pick up.
On the job: old joint removed, new joint applied and tooled.
Materials
DOWSIL™, written warranty, custom work
We choose the sealant for the surface and exposure. And if your project calls for something else, we adapt.
DOWSIL™ sealants
We apply professional sealants from the DOWSIL™ range, including 791 and CWS, chosen for the surface and the exposure.
Lifetime warranty on 791
Joints made with DOWSIL™ 791 carry a lifetime warranty on materials and labour. The conditions are written in your contract.
Custom
Your specifications call for a specific product? We install it. We can also apply a sealant you supply: we then tell you what that changes for the warranty.

Frequently asked questions
When should caulking be redone?
When the joint cracks, peels, turns black or gets hard. Sun and frost wear it out faster on exposed façades. If you are not sure, we check it during the assessment.
How soon can you come?
Soon. We book the assessment quickly, and the work follows without a long wait. And we caulk all year round, summer and winter: no need to wait for spring.
Why remove the old joint instead of adding over it?
New sealant does not stick well to an old joint. It peels off within a season. Removing the old one is the only way to get a joint that lasts.
What products do you use?
Professional sealants from the DOWSIL™ range, such as 791 and CWS. Joints made with DOWSIL™ 791 carry a lifetime warranty on materials and labour. On request, we install a specific product, or the sealant you supply.
How much does caulking cost?
The price depends on the number of openings, the linear feet and access. We measure on site, then give you a detailed written quote. The quote is free.
Is your work eligible for subsidies?
Yes. Our caulking work meets the requirements of the assistance programs. For the LogisVert "roof insulation and caulking" measure (up to $1,500, depending on eligibility), caulking alone does not qualify: roof insulation is a separate job, done by the contractor of your choice. Combined, both jobs are eligible. Other assistance exists depending on the work.
Do you take on large projects?
Yes: condominiums, rental buildings, commercial and industrial buildings, and subcontracting for general contractors.
Do you also do insulation?
Not Région Calfeutrage. Attic insulation is the trade of Région Isolation, the other division of SLT Construction.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Région Calfeutrage is a division of SLT Construction, holder of RBQ licence 5874-6892-01.
