Stucco Repair & Installation Mesa, AZ

Understanding Stucco
Stucco siding is a cement-like texture that can be layered onto the exterior of buildings. Stucco siding has a wide range of color options, as it can be tinted in various hues and shades. With a one-hour fire rating, stucco siding can resist flames for an hour before they penetrate the underlying structure, adding an extra layer of safety.
Traditional stucco
Traditional stucco is made from sand, lime, water, and cement, making it highly durable. The lime content makes it easier to mold, and modern versions may include glass fibers and acrylics for added strength. Applied in multiple layers, including a mesh base or lath to prevent cracking, traditional stucco can be smooth or textured and last over 50 years with proper maintenance.
Synthetic stucco
Synthetic stucco uses acrylic resin instead of cement or lime, making it more resistant to water damage and less prone to cracking. It dries evenly and quickly, typically applied over a foam board.

The Stucco Installation Process
Our stucco installation process is designed to ensure a high-quality, durable finish that meets your specific needs and preferences. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how we achieve exceptional results:
- Initial Consultation and Planning
We start with a thorough consultation to understand your project requirements, design preferences, and budget. Our team provides expert advice and helps you choose the best options for your stucco application. - Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is crucial to successful stucco installation. We clean and prepare the surface, ensuring it is free from debris, dirt, and any existing damage. This step ensures optimal adhesion and longevity of the stucco. - Applying the Base Coat
We apply a base coat, or scratch coat, which serves as the foundation for the stucco. This layer is carefully applied to ensure an even and secure base for the subsequent layers. - Adding the Brown Coat
After the base coat has been set, we apply the brown coat, which provides additional strength and smoothness to the stucco. This layer is essential for creating a uniform surface and enhancing the overall durability. - Finishing Coat Application
The final coat is the finishing layer, which can be customized with various textures and colors to match your design preferences. This layer adds aesthetic appeal and provides a protective barrier against the elements. - Curing and Final Inspection
Once the finishing coat is applied, we allow the stucco to cure properly, ensuring it hardens and adheres correctly. Our team conducts a thorough inspection to ensure the quality and integrity of the installation, addressing any final adjustments needed to achieve a perfect result.
Common Stucco Cracks and Damages
Common stucco issues can range from minor to severe, impacting both the appearance and structural integrity of the exterior. Hairline and spider cracks often result from natural settling or minor stress, while pattern and diagonal cracks can indicate more significant movement or foundation issues.
Bubbles, blisters, and indentations or soft spots often suggest underlying moisture problems. Water damage can lead to mold and rot, compromising the stucco’s durability and necessitating urgent repair. No matter the issue, addressing these issues promptly with professional repairs can prevent further damage and preserve the longevity and appearance of your stucco exterior.
