Stucco Home Exterior Painting Transformation

In Colorado Springs, you can find a wide variety of styles, sizes, colors, and materials of homes. However, one popular style is stucco! First and foremost, you may be wondering what stucco really is. We’re here to give you the details.

What is stucco?

Stucco is made of a cement plaster that acts as an exterior wall covering. It is actually one of the oldest types of siding in the world and was even used in ancient Greece over 1,000 years ago to create the relief designs you’ll see in their famous architecture. It’s typically a mix of cement, lime, sand, and water, that is spread on the house while wet. It’s usually applied in several layers over a wire framework to help it adhere. Stucco is most often on the exterior of buildings but can be found on the interior.

What are some of the problems with a stucco home?

A stucco home can provide many benefits like its durability, sound resistance, sustainability, and fire resistance. However, it also has some drawbacks, especially in the harsh weather here in Colorado Springs. Stucco homes can be prone to water retention and damage in wet environments. While the Colorado climate is very dry, stucco homes can still run into problems. It can also be prone to cracking, leading to more maintenance.

Can my stucco home be painted?

Yes! However, this is where we come in – as professionals at stucco painting. While you could wait until you see wear and tear on your home, we recommend being proactive in your approach. Stucco painting is a maintenance task that can lead to a great return when it comes time to sell!

You may be wondering how much it costs for a stucco painter here in Colorado Springs? Well, the difference in paint quality and the price of that paint will have an effect on your total cost. There’s a wide range and higher quality paint does make a substantial difference in the durability and longevity of your paint job. While there are always exceptions, spending a little more on quality paint will usually pay for itself. Specifically, a stucco home’s price for an exterior paint job is usually a little higher, by 25% – 30%. This is because irregular, uneven surfaces like stucco take longer to paint and they can also require greater amounts of paint to complete the project.
