Expert Stucco Painting Services in Charleston, SC
At CertaPro Painters® of Charleston, SC, we specialize in professional stucco painting and repair services tailored to the unique needs of Lowcountry homeowners. Stucco is a popular exterior finish in many Charleston-area homes—especially in historic neighborhoods and newer coastal developments—thanks to its timeless appearance and resistance to humid, subtropical conditions. However, even durable stucco requires periodic upkeep to maintain its beauty and structural integrity.
If your home’s stucco exterior is showing signs of wear—such as cracking, fading, or discoloration—it may be time to refresh and protect it with our expert stucco painting services.
Our Stucco Painting & Repair Process
Stucco maintenance in Charleston’s climate calls for special attention to detail. Here’s how our team ensures your home is not only beautiful but also protected from the region’s moisture, salt air, and frequent storms:
1. Inspection & Crack Repair
Over time, stucco can develop cracks due to Charleston’s shifting soil, fluctuating humidity, and seasonal storms. Our experienced team will assess the type and cause of any cracking—whether from structural settling or moisture issues—and perform thorough repairs using appropriate patching materials.
2. Stucco Replacement (If Needed)
In more severe cases, such as water intrusion or mold from long-term exposure to high humidity or storm damage, sections of stucco may need to be removed and replaced. We evaluate these areas carefully and perform any necessary remediation to restore the integrity of your exterior.
3. Priming for Protection
We apply a high-quality elastomeric or waterproof primer to seal your stucco, especially over repair areas. This helps prevent moisture intrusion and creates a smooth, uniform surface for paint adhesion—crucial in Charleston’s moisture-prone environment.
4. Professional Stucco Painting
Using premium waterproof exterior paints designed for flexibility and durability, we apply a finish coat that enhances your home’s curb appeal and shields it from rain, mold, mildew, and salty coastal air. Our paints are designed to expand and contract with your home’s surface to prevent future cracking.
This is my third project with CertaPro and I am very happy with the results. I also appreciate that multiple days of rain prior to the estimated start date of the project caused very little delay. They were efficient, thorough, and I will call them again for my next painting project. A+ job - thank you!

Common Questions About Stucco Painting in Charleston, SC
How often should I paint my stucco home in the Charleston area?
In Charleston’s humid and coastal climate, we recommend repainting stucco every 5 to 7 years. Salt air, heavy rain, and UV exposure can all wear down paint faster than in drier environments. Regular painting not only refreshes your home’s appearance but also protects against moisture and cracking.
What kind of prep is done before painting stucco?
We begin by thoroughly cleaning the surface—usually through power washing—to remove dirt, mildew, and salt buildup common in the Lowcountry. Cracks and surface imperfections are then repaired using specialized patching materials. Once the surface is prepped and cured, we mask off trim and windows to prepare for a clean, professional paint application.
Can CertaPro Painters® of Charleston, SC repair damaged stucco?
Yes, we can handle most minor to moderate stucco repairs as part of your painting project. If the damage is extensive—such as major water infiltration or structural issues—we’ll help identify whether a specialist is needed before proceeding with painting.
What exterior paint colors are popular for stucco homes in Charleston?
Coastal and historic charm influence many color choices here. Warm whites, soft grays, sandy beiges, and light blues are all common, especially in communities like Mount Pleasant, West Ashley, and Isle of Palms. We’re happy to help you choose a timeless or trendy palette that suits your home and neighborhood.
What type of paint is best for stucco exteriors in this climate?
We recommend high-quality acrylic latex paints, or elastomeric coatings for extra protection. These products are flexible, breathable, and ideal for resisting moisture, mildew, and salt air—key concerns in the Charleston area. Our team can recommend the right product during your estimate.
