Stucco Painting and Repair

Stucco is a very popular choice of exterior siding material in the state of Arizona. Known for its durability and low maintenance characteristics, stucco paint is perfect for homes in Glendale and the West Valley.

The durability of stucco means that if cracks or bulges are discovered, there may be a bigger concern. You could be in need of stucco painting and repair services.

There could be an outside force causing this problem which needs to be addressed. It’s important for you to consult a professional to determine the cause, appropriate repairs, and patching that may be necessary. Let’s look at each issue and see what your home may be trying to tell you.

Cracks

Even the smallest cracks can signify that there is underlying damage. If it’s less than an inch it more than likely means your home’s exterior integrity is not in danger but repairing them will allow you to head off a bigger issue that could be starting to show up.

To repair a small crack, get a high-quality caulk and brush for stippling while the caulk is wet. This helps the repair to blend into the exterior of your stucco. After it’s dried, you can paint it to match.

Larger cracks are indicative of a more significant issue going on inside your walls. If you find these larger cracks at the intersection of vertical walls, window corners, or door frames. Since they are deeper, potentially water is getting into the building. You’ll want to address this quickly.

It’s best to consult a professional for these deep lesions in your home. They will have the knowledge to diagnose and repair the issue.

Deep cracks are best addressed by a professional with abilities to look at what the causes are and how best to fix them and the underlying issues causing them.

Bulging

Bulging is rarely a good sign because it often indicates that there is water trapped inside your walls (causing the walls to warp). Softening of the stucco can allow it to absorb water and weight and eventually break away from the wall. This allows for a host of issues, like paint failure, rot, mold, smells, and potentially irreparable damage.

Since this is often a more intricate and multi-faceted repair, you will want to consult a stucco-repair professional. They will need to find the source of the wetness before beginning any repairs. Once the repairs are made, the repairs can be made which includes repairing the stucco, replacing plaster, and adding texture to blend the repair.
