STUCCO MAINTENANCE
A Stucco Contractor With Expert Maintenance Solutions
Stucco is one of the most durable materials with a typical lifespan of 50 to 80 years. Even though once applied it is very long-lasting, it also has lower annual maintenance costs when compared to other siding materials such as vinyl, wood, and metal. Stucco consists of an aggregate, a binder, and water and is applied wet and hardens when it dries. For centuries it has been used as a coating for walls and ceilings but to keep it looking beautiful, you must consider scheduling stucco maintenance appointments.
Modern-day stucco is made of cement and water. Lime is often added to increase the workability of the solution. Some contractors add acrylic or glass fibers to improve the structural properties of if it. Stucco consists of one layer of wire lath and two layers of cement-based plaster. However, its consistency cannot accommodate significant movement which makes this siding material prone to cracking, so an additional finish must be applied by a certified stucco contractor.
Re Dash
Stucco must never be painted but the reason most people do it because they think re-dashing or also called re-stuccoing is very expensive. We, at A&G Stucco LLC, can provide you with this service in Baton Rouge, LA at a price that is very fair and will fit your budget. Re-dashing is the right way to go when you notice your stucco does not look as it did when first applied. It will give a nice finish that will last longer than any paint job.
Cracks Repair
As we mentioned earlier, cracks are pretty common. The small ones are normal and do not require any maintenance or repair. If the cracks are large, then we repair them by adding small amounts of stucco to them. Sometimes our stucco contractor patches them or adds expansion joints.
Inspections & Cleaning
Our professional stucco contractor suggests annual inspections for holes, significant cracks, and separations. If stucco is repaired on time, you can prevent further damage to your home. We utilize mild cleaner and water to remove stains. We prefer to use a garden hose and a jet nozzle as pressure washers cause damage to the surface.
