COMMERCIAL
CAULKING & SEALANT
IN FRISCO, TX.
Frisco's Class A office campuses — HALL Park (17 buildings, 2.2M+ sq ft), The Star (91 acres), and Frisco Station (5M sq ft planned) — are only now reaching their first scheduled sealant replacement cycles. In Collin County's hail corridor, where June 2023 storms produced $7–10 billion in insured losses, the glass-curtain-wall and EIFS-clad buildings that define Frisco's skyline face systematic sealant assessment needs that grow with each season.
What Commercial Caulking & Sealant Replacement Includes
Complete building envelope sealant services — from expansion joints and curtain wall perimeters to below-grade waterproofing seals.
Expansion & Control Joint Sealant
Expansion joints in Frisco's large multi-building campuses — HALL Park's 17 buildings, Frisco Station's phased delivery, and The Star's 91-acre complex — accumulate thermal movement cycles across enormous facade areas. When sealant hardens past its elastic recovery point, the joint opens during thermal contraction and allows water infiltration at the highest-volume locations on the building.
We remove all existing sealant, install correct backer rod geometry, and apply commercial-grade silicone or polyurethane sealant specified for each joint's documented width and movement range. For Frisco's multi-story curtain wall buildings, our 56' and 72' boom trucks provide efficient scaffolding-free access across large facade areas.
Window & Curtain Wall Perimeter Sealant
HALL Park's 2.2-million-sq-ft campus contains 17 Class A office buildings whose earliest structures are now approaching 15+ years — the standard trigger for curtain wall perimeter re-caulking and weatherseal inspection. The June 2023 DFW hail storms, which produced $7–10 billion in insured losses, accelerated sealant degradation on glass-curtain-wall buildings throughout Frisco's corporate campus corridors.
We assess each curtain wall system — mullion-to-glass interfaces, pressure cap joints, and head/sill perimeters — and specify color-matched, UV-stable silicone sealants appropriate for the frame materials and glazing configurations present on each Frisco campus building.
Wet Seal & Dry Glazing Repair
Frisco's older retail corridors and mid-2000s commercial buildings use wet seal glazing systems where sealant is the primary weather barrier. More recent construction at HALL Park, The Star, and Frisco Station uses dry glazing with mechanical compression gaskets and secondary sealant beads. Each system type fails differently and requires a different restoration approach.
We identify which system is present in each building section before specifying any repair scope — restoring wet seal beads without disturbing glass units, and replacing secondary sealants on dry glazed systems without compromising the gasket compression that provides the primary weather seal.
Below-Grade & Through-Wall Sealant
Frisco Station's planned 34-acre health and wellness campus and the below-grade parking structures serving HALL Park and The Star carry construction joint and utility penetration sealant requirements that standard silicone systems cannot meet under hydrostatic pressure. Frisco's position in Collin County's clay belt means wet-season ground expansion actively stresses below-grade seals.
We use polysulfide and hydrophilic sealant systems rated for below-grade and intermittently immersed applications, applied over properly prepared substrates to create durable moisture barriers at construction joints, utility sleeves, and elevator pit perimeters.

Why Frisco Buildings Need Sealant Attention Now
Frisco grew 500%+ from 33,828 residents in 2000 to over 200,000 in 2020 — and the corporate campuses that followed that growth are only now reaching their first major sealant maintenance windows. HALL Park's earliest buildings are 15+ years old. The Star crossed its 10-year mark in 2026. Frisco ISD campuses built throughout the 2000s are entering their first scheduled caulking replacement cycles.
The June 2023 DFW hail storms produced $7–10 billion in insured losses, with hail accounting for 95% of all damage. The April 2024 event produced 2.75-inch hailstones in Collin County. For Frisco's high density of glass-curtain-wall and EIFS-clad buildings — which are more vulnerable to hail-accelerated sealant failure than masonry construction — systematic post-storm inspection and re-sealing is a recurring operational need, not a one-time capital project.
Corporate tenant cycles at Frisco's campuses also create sealant maintenance pressure. Each corporate relocation triggers facade signage removal and envelope penetration repair — and incoming tenants' facility teams inspect building envelopes as part of occupancy due diligence. Proactive sealant programs remove envelope deficiencies from tenant negotiating leverage before they become deal conditions.

Commercial Caulking & Sealant FAQ
How often should commercial building sealants be replaced?
Most commercial sealants have a service life of 10–20 years. Frisco's median commercial year built of 2009 means a large share of the city's building stock — including HALL Park's earliest buildings and the first phase of Frisco ISD campuses — is now entering its first scheduled sealant replacement cycle. The standard inspection interval for curtain wall re-caulking on high-profile Class A facilities is 10 years. The Star (opened August 2016) crossed that threshold in 2026. We recommend professional assessments every 5 years and after any hail event producing stones larger than 1 inch.
What are the signs of failed caulking on a commercial building?
On Frisco's glass-curtain-wall and EIFS-clad buildings — which dominate HALL Park, The Star, and Frisco Station — look for sealant cracking, cohesive splitting down the center of the bead, pull-away from the substrate, and water staining on interior wall surfaces below joint locations. For high-profile campuses like The Star (91 acres, $255M) and PGA Frisco (106,622-sq-ft headquarters), even minor visible sealant failure affects the premium brand presentation these facilities are designed to project.
What types of sealants are used for commercial building envelopes?
Frisco's Class A office campuses predominantly use structural silicone glazing sealants on curtain wall perimeters (flexible, UV-stable, rated for 50+ years), weatherseal silicone at exposed joint faces, and low-modulus polyurethane sealants where EIFS meets masonry or concrete substrates. PGA Frisco's Texas limestone and glass headquarters (opened August 2022, $33.5M) uses both masonry and glass perimeter joints requiring different sealant systems that must be carefully coordinated to avoid adhesion conflicts at transitions.
Can caulking replacement prevent water infiltration in commercial buildings?
Yes — and for Frisco's corporate campuses, water infiltration also creates liability exposure. Tenant relocation at Frisco Station, HALL Park, and The Star is frequent as corporations cycle through growth phases; each vacancy-to-occupancy transition is an inspection opportunity where a new tenant's facility team will identify failed sealant, water staining, and envelope deficiencies. Proactive sealant replacement eliminates the negotiating leverage those deficiencies create for incoming tenants and protects asset value for owners managing multi-building campuses.
What is the difference between wet seal and dry glazing systems?
Dry glazing systems — using compression gaskets as the primary weather barrier with sealant as a secondary seal — are standard on Frisco's post-2000 curtain wall construction across HALL Park, The Star, and Frisco Station. Wet seal systems, where sealant is the sole weather barrier, appear on older storefront systems and some mid-2000s commercial buildings throughout Frisco's earlier retail corridors. We assess which system is present in each building section, identify the failure mode specific to that system, and restore the correct weatherproofing approach without disturbing sound components.
