Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does Trueline Caulking actually do?

    Trueline Caulking provides professional caulking and sealing services for residential and commercial properties across Melbourne, including glass balustrades, splashbacks, windows, internal joints, wet areas, and external joints. The business is family-owned and led by Richard De Melo, who brings 22 years of industry experience to every job.

  • How is Trueline different from a one-off handyman or vendor?

    Unlike a generalist handyman, Trueline Caulking specialises exclusively in caulking and sealing, which means every job gets trades-level preparation, product selection, and finishing technique. The focus stays on precision, appearance, and durability rather than treating caulking as a quick add-on task.

  • What areas does Trueline Caulking service?

    Trueline Caulking services Melbourne Wide, covering both residential homes and commercial properties. If you're unsure whether your location is covered, get in touch and the team can confirm.

  • How does your pricing work?

    Pricing is based on the scope of the job — factors like the size of the area, the condition of any existing sealant, and the materials involved all affect the final cost. Trueline Caulking provides a quote after an initial discussion or site assessment rather than a flat rate, since every property is different.

  • How does glass balustrade or window caulking actually work?

    The process involves inspecting the existing seal, removing any old or failing caulk, thoroughly cleaning the joint, and applying a fresh, precise bead of weather-appropriate sealant. The result is a clean, watertight finish that protects the structure and looks professional.

  • How long does a typical caulking job take once it starts?

    Most residential jobs, such as a bathroom or splashback, are completed in a single visit, while larger commercial projects may take longer depending on scope. This is a different question from response time — how quickly Trueline can get to your property to start the work in the first place.

  • How quickly can you respond to a new enquiry?

    [INSERT CONFIRMED RESPONSE-TIME SLA] — contact the team directly on 0406 956 220 or by email for the most current availability.

  • Who is Trueline Caulking best suited for?

    Trueline Caulking suits homeowners, commercial property managers, building contractors, architects, and property developers who need a precise, long-lasting seal rather than a quick patch job. The business works equally well for a single-room residential refresh or a multi-level commercial fit-out.

  • Can I see examples of past work or read reviews?

    Yes — visit the Testimonials page to read client feedback and view our Google Business Profile reviews. Photos of completed projects are also featured across our service pages.

  • What's the best way to get started?
