Why Choose Stucco for Your Home?
If you want to enhance your walls while protecting them from harsh weather, stucco is an excellent choice. This versatile material has adorned homes for centuries, with origins tracing back to ancient Greek and Egyptian civilizations. Originally made from limestone, water, and sand, today's stucco uses a modern cement-based mixture that offers numerous benefits for homeowners.
Benefits of Stucco
One of the primary advantages of stucco is its durability. Stucco siding is tough and can withstand the elements, providing robust protection against snow, rain, and other damaging weather conditions. Additionally, stucco is low-maintenance; once installed, it requires minimal upkeep, saving you time and money, as there's no need for frequent reapplication or refinishing.
Safety is another key feature of stucco. It is fire-resistant, addressing a common concern among homeowners. This safety aspect can also be beneficial for insurance purposes, as many companies offer lower premiums for homes with stucco siding. Lastly, visually, stucco walls are classic and timeless, ensuring your home maintains its aesthetic appeal for years to come.
Our Application Process
Applying stucco is not a DIY task; improper application can lead to cracks and damage that require repairs. To ensure perfect results, we follow a meticulous multi-step process:
Research and Preparation:
We only apply stucco under favourable conditions. Factors like temperature play a crucial role; extreme heat can cause cracking, while cold weather affects the application. We ensure that everything is ideal before proceeding, laying down the necessary materials.
Layering:
Stucco requires three distinct layers:
• The scratch coat serves as the foundation for your stucco and is applied with great care.
• The brown coat is a thinner layer applied smoothly over the scratch coat.
• The final finish coat is expertly applied with a trowel, allowing you to choose your desired pattern.Clean-Up:
Once the stucco has dried, we ensure that our tools and materials are removed, leaving your property neat and tidy.
