This home is in Yorkville. The homeowner had applied his own caulk the previous year, having applied it over already compromised/wet wood it never adhered. We were asked to get a few more years. Out of the units but on a tight budget. We began by removing all caulk and damaged lumber. We then used heat guns to completely dry the area. Once dry an oil based primer was applied and then an epoxy filler was used to fill all voids. We then applied 2 coats SW exterior products.
