Beautiful Stucco Painting Tips

Posted on February 20, 2019

We specialize in stucco painting. We love the way it looks, especially after it’s been painted. If you’re considering painting services for your home’s stucco exterior, learn how we ensure our painting looks beautiful.

About Stucco Painting

Painting stucco isn’t like painting other surfaces, such as wood, vinyl, aluminum siding, etc. It’s unique in that the surface isn’t smooth. This is why it’s important that we follow this process.

Prepare the Stucco for Painting

We remove loose debris and dirt from the home’s exterior. We use a wire brush to do this because it doesn’t harm the exterior. This is also the time we clean up any stains as much as possible. We have the best cleaning agents to get the toughest, most stubborn stains off.

Ensure the Exterior Is Dry

It’s important the exterior is completely dry. If not, stucco material won’t absorb the paint correctly.

A moisture meter is used to gauge how much moisture is on the exterior. It must read less than 12%,

Repair Stucco

This is the time when we repair any cracks, holes or voids in the stucco. We use caulking or a joint compound to do this, and we take our time to make sure it lasts. No one will be able to know the stucco was repaired after we are done with the repairing and painting.

Use Primer

Primer seal is important before starting any stucco painting. Many people use a primer/paint combination, but that is not the best choice. The best results come from first using primer and then painting.

Spray and Brush

Stucco paint is sprayed and then back brushed. This is the best way to achieve beautiful stucco painting results. The back brushing ensures you push the paint into all of the small holes and mortar joints. This is what results in an even finish.
