When installed properly, stucco improves the aesthetic appeal of the property and protects it from the elements. Your stucco takes a lot of punishment every day. Age-related deterioration can cause stucco to fade. Fading stucco can look dull and tired, negatively affecting the curb appeal of your house.

To preserve the original appearance of your stucco, paint it. Stucco painting can prevent problems down the road. Here are some benefits of stucco painting in Red Deer.  

​When it rains, stucco absorbs water. If left unaddressed, water damage can lead to mold growth. To keep water out of your stucco, apply a fresh coat of paint to it. This is a great way to keep dampness at bay. Painted stucco protects the house from water intrusion and wind damage.

Use high quality elastomeric-modified paint specially designed to protect masonry surfaces.  Elastomeric paint is easy to apply and maintain. When applied correctly, elastomeric paint can enhance stucco durability.

​Stucco is exposed to the elements and can become stained. Stains may also be caused by soot, grease, mold and mildew. Removing stubborn stucco stains is backbreaking work. Instead of spending weekends trying to remove stains, apply a fresh coat of primer and paint your stucco to cover unsightly blemishes and stains.

​Ultraviolet rays can cause damage to your stucco, affecting its appearance, functionality, durability and lifespan.  Stucco damage can lead to structural issues. Painting your stucco enhances its ability to deflect damaging UV rays. A fresh coat of paint can protect your exterior walls from premature deterioration.

​If left unaddressed, hairline cracks can widen and lead to major problems. Chunks of stucco can crack and fall off undermining the structural integrity of your stucco. Painting your stucco will fill in hairline cracks. Fill larger cracks in your stucco with masonry patching or exterior caulk before painting it.

​To maintain the appearance of your stucco, repaint it every 5-10 years. Paint your stucco more frequently if your home receives a lot of sunlight. Periodically inspect your stucco. If you see hairline cracks or white spots, schedule a professional inspection immediately.
