Stucco is a very common type of exterior surface in the Austin, TX service area. Our team is experienced with stucco repairs, either as a part of a painting project or as a stand alone service. If you have stucco on your home with cracks lager than 1/8″, notice bulges in the stucco, or a white chalky material on your hands after rubbing the wall, you may need patching or repair work done. See our portfolio for samples of work we completed in the Austin service area.
Most stucco repair and painting projects include the following:
First we repair all cracks in the stucco surfaces
We apply an elastomeric/waterproof to seal the stucco surfaces
A coat of paint is applied, which is waterproof and contracts and expands to ensure years of enjoyment
Stucco should be painted every five to ten years, depending on the environmental factors the stucco has been exposed to. It’s important to paint and upkeep exterior stucco surfaces to prevent cracks and other damage from forming over time. See our guide on how often to paint stucco for more information.
The stucco surfaces should be cleaned and free of dust and dirt, this can be done with a brush or with power washing equipment. Once clean, cracks and imperfections are patched with caulking or stucco repair products. After surface prep is complete, trim lines are taped off and the area is ready to be painted.
Yes, for most types of minor stucco damage, we can repair the stucco as part of a painting project. In some cases of severe damage, a stucco specialist may be needed.
Traditionally stucco is painted in natural colors like white, gray, beige, or tan. In some areas, blue is also popular for stucco exteriors.
Acrylic latex products are best for stucco painting projects. There are options when it comes to product selection, so be sure to ask for recommendations during your initial estimate appointment with your local independently owned and operated CertaPro Painters® franchised business
Exterior painting from CertaPro Painters usually follows a five-step process: washing, surface preparation, painting, cleaning, and inspection. The first step, washing, is the foundation of the entire project to remove mold, oil, and old paint so new paint absorbs into your surface better.
