FAQ's

Stucco is a durable, weather-resistant exterior finish made from a mixture of cement, sand, and water. It is widely used for its ability to provide excellent insulation, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Stucco can withstand various weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for homes and commercial buildings in diverse climates.

Stucco can last 30 years or more when properly installed and maintained. Regular inspections and timely repairs, especially for cracks or damage caused by weather conditions, can help extend its lifespan. With proper care, stucco offers long-term durability and protection.

Signs that your stucco may need repair include visible cracks, bulging, water stains, mold or mildew growth, or crumbling areas. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to contact a professional for an inspection to prevent further damage and ensure proper restoration.

EIFS provides superior energy efficiency and is more flexible than traditional stucco, making it ideal for colder climates and homes looking for better insulation.
