Painting & Repairing Stucco Cracks in Commercial Buildings
Posted on March 25, 2021
Stucco is commonly used in commercial exteriors due to its durability, hardness, rot and fungus resistance, and low cost. It’s also not high maintenance at all. Still, it does crack over time.
When faced with this problem, many property owners tend to just paint over it or let it be. It has somewhat become this typical stucco look anyway.
But there’s a proper way to deal with this issue and still keep a fresh look for your building. Here’s what our pro stucco repair contractors from CertaPro Painters® of East Orlando would like you to know.
How to Repair Stucco Cracks
1. Repair
Stucco cracks naturally appear over time due to changing weather conditions. It may also be caused by the improper fitting of the lath or incorrect mixture of stucco.
This is why it’s best to get a stucco repair expert to inspect such technical issues. They’ll be able to identify the real cause of the cracks and provide accurate solutions to ensure the surface’s stability.
2. Replace
One of the most important reasons to hire a stucco repair contractor is because in some cases, repairs just won’t work. Replacement might be needed, and that requires careful examination and execution.
Stucco sidings are prone to water damage, and mold growth can cause extreme damage that can affect the sidings’ functionality.
3. Primer
Our experts strongly advise the use of primer on your stucco for a smooth finish. It will cover traces of repairs and other irregularities on the surface.
It will also protect the stucco from the absorption of moisture from any coating. And CertaPro Painters® of East Orlando does the highest-quality commercial stucco repair in East Orlando.
We use an elastomeric or waterproof primer to seal the cured stucco. It’s durable, secure and compatible with any choice of coating.
Painting Stucco the Right Way
Our stucco painting contractors would like to remind you that you should never ever paint over a damaged stucco. Make sure all necessary repairs have been completed first.
Painting over stucco cracks won’t solve anything and just put your exterior at risk of aging awfully. However, painting your stucco after repairs have been sealed can be very protective.
Paint will protect your stucco from pollution, mold growth, and rain. It will also strengthen the surface, preventing it from cracking or crumbling.
