If your home exteriors have been finished with stucco coating, you’re in luck! Not only is this durable and attractive, but it also protects your home against the elements. Yet, just like other kinds of house siding, the colors of your stucco will fade over time. When this happens, you might wonder if you could paint the stucco on your home. With the right painting materials, paint, and proper preparations, exterior coating has a lot of benefits to offer. Now, stucco is a popular exterior finish since it’s easy to maintain and will look attractive when taken care of. Hiring A&G Stucco LLC in Baton Rouge, LA is a wise idea for your stucco installation project.
It seals out moisture.
After a heavy downpour, you’ll notice that your stucco absorbs water and becomes darker until dry. When you apply stucco, the paint seals the material, so moisture won’t penetrate, allowing the color to remain consistent even during the rainy season. While it’s true that stucco is known for this feature, applying stucco with the right paint will ensure it remains waterproof and prevent damp spots. Manufacturers have developed specific exterior painting systems for stucco in order to make it even more resistant to any weather conditions. Minimizing the penetration of moisture on your stucco can help your property maintain an attractive appearance for the years to come.
It hides damp stains.
Over time, you’ll see rusting and water stains on your stucco. Applying stucco will cover and block these stains. When done by our exterior coating specialists, stains won’t reappear for years on your new paint surface.
It fills hairline cracks.
Minor cracks will only become a serious problem over time. When left unattended, it will lead to expensive repairs. Painting your property with high-quality think paint will fill these hairline cracks. It’s important to bear in mind that our painters will have to fill larger cracks in stucco with masonry patching or exterior caulk before painting it. Since stucco is porous and crack fillers should be flexible, caulking it won’t blend perfectly, but this process helps the crack blend better with the paint color.
