What Is Stucco and Why Use It?

Stucco is a cement-based exterior coating applied in multiple layers over a solid base. It creates a tough, long-lasting surface that resists everyday wear and tear. Properly installed stucco can:

• Help shed water and protect underlying structure

• Add a layer of thermal and sound insulation

• Provide a clean, seamless look with many colour and texture options

• Increase property value with an upgraded exterior finish

Our Stucco Application Services

New Stucco Installation
For new builds, additions, or major exterior remodels, we:

• Prepare the substrate (block, concrete, or appropriate sheathing)

• Install lath or mesh where required for proper adhesion

• Apply stucco in multiple coats (scratch, brown, and finish)

• Offer different textures: smooth, light sand, heavy texture, or custom finishes

• Integrate trims around windows, doors, and corners for a neat, finished look

Stucco Over Existing Surfaces (Where Appropriate)
On some existing masonry or older stucco surfaces, we can:

• Repair and stabilize the base first

• Apply bonding agents

• Install a new stucco finish coat to refresh and modernize the façade

• Rebuilding sections with new material

Re-Coating & Refreshing

• Adding a fresh finish coat or elastomeric coating to improve appearance and water resistance

• Evening out patchy or discoloured areas for a uniform look

Common Stucco Problems We Address

• Cracks around windows, doors, and corners

• Bulging, hollow, or loose sections when tapped
