A Tip From The Pros You Can Use At Home
A simple trick for achieving clean, professional-looking caulk lines is to keep a plastic spoon attached to your caulk tube with a rubber band or a piece of painter’s tape. After applying a bead of caulk, use the spoon to smooth and shape the joint in one continuous pass. The spoon’s rounded edge creates a consistent finish, wipes clean easily between passes, and works especially well on long seams around tubs, showers, backsplashes, and trim!
Tying blankets at the office!
In May, our team came together for a blanket-tying event at the office! We had a fun time creating cozy tie blankets for children at the Masonic Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis, and hope they bring a little extra comfort to kids and families in our community.
Pack at the Park 2026
Last month, Crawford Merz participated in Feed My Starving Children’s Pack at the Park event at Target Field. This was our third year attending, and it has become one of our favorite opportunities to give back alongside our community!
With the help of thousands of volunteers, the event packed more than one million meals for children facing food insecurity around the world and raised more than $250,000 to support Feed My Starving Children’s mission.

Summer 2026 Golf Tournaments!
Crawford Merz was proud to participate as a hole sponsor at this year’s annual June golf tournaments hosted by IREM and MNCAR! As always, they were a great time, and we appreciate the effort these organizations put into creating such outstanding events. We’re already looking forward to returning next year!
A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our tables to say hello and enjoy a cold drink, and congrats to the lucky winners of our Top Golf gift card raffles! We hope to see many of you again at the upcoming AIA and BOMA golf tournaments later this summer.
