-
Checking for cracks and sealing them promptly to prevent water infiltration.

A: Small hairline cracks are normal due to natural settling and temperature changes. Larger cracks may indicate foundation issues or improper application. Our team can assess and repair any stucco damage.
Q: Can stucco be painted?

Q: Can stucco be applied over brick or wood siding?
A: Yes, stucco can be applied over brick, wood, or existing siding, but it requires proper preparation, including installing a moisture barrier and metal lath for adhesion.

A: Absolutely! Stucco performs well in Colorado’s dry and fluctuating climate. It resists heat, cold, and moisture when properly installed and maintained.
