Stucco Restoration: Here is What You Should Know

 

Stucco sided houses are beautiful. We have created some true exterior masterpieces by applying and / or painting stucco. You achieve the optimal olde world, classical look that certainly never goes out of style. When it comes to repairing and restoring stucco however, it is important that you understand the process and know exactly that is involved. The last thing you want is a contractor who tries to take shortcuts and thus gives you a restoration job that appears almost worse than it did prior to their arrival. Here are a few things to consider when thinking about stucco restoration.

First off, make sure it isn’t too cold or too hot when repairing stucco on your home’s exterior. Stucco has to be mixed and therefore requires a set temperature to ensure that the product is at optimal moisture level and viscosity before applying it to your house exterior. Stucco restoration is very much about attention to detail and that’s why you want to look for a company that has ample experience in this particular area.

You also need to ensure that the surface in question is prepped correctly. Removing debris and loose pieces, properly cleaning the area, sanding if required, are all an essential part of the process. You also may need a bonding agent depending on the part that is in need of repair. An experienced stucco contractor can give you more insight in regard to how exactly the surface needs to be prepped.

Once you apply the patch, you will need to make sure the texture is as close to an exact match as you can possibly be. And again, this really only comes with skill and practice. Trusting this stucco restoration project to someone who’s only worked with the material once or twice will not result in the best possible job.
