Exterior Stucco Restoration Project

When work began, the home’s exterior showed typical signs of aging caused by prolonged weather exposure. The stucco surfaces had developed visible cracks, staining, and areas of discoloration, especially around window frames and along the lower wall sections where moisture and debris often accumulate. Trim areas and the garage also showed peeling paint and deteriorating caulking, which can allow moisture intrusion if left unaddressed. These conditions meant the project would require thorough preparation to ensure the new paint system performed properly and delivered a long-lasting result.

Preparation began with light pressure washing to remove surface dirt, mildew, and loose paint. Once the surfaces were clean and dry, the team completed targeted stucco repairs to address small cracks and imperfections in the exterior walls. Caulking was applied around windows, trim, and other joints to seal gaps and create a smoother surface for painting. This detailed prep work is essential for exterior projects in coastal Florida climates, helping coatings adhere correctly while protecting the structure from moisture.

With the surfaces properly prepared, the crew applied two coats of **Sherwin-Williams Loxon Elastomeric coating to the stucco and siding. Elastomeric coatings are designed to expand and contract with stucco surfaces, helping bridge hairline cracks while providing superior weather resistance. Two coats were also applied to trim, window frames, columns, and the mailbox to create a consistent and polished look across the property.

Additional elements of the home’s exterior were refreshed to complete the transformation. Gutters, downspouts, doors, and the garage door were all coated using durable multi-surface products selected for their longevity and smooth finish. These finishing touches tied the entire exterior together, giving the home a clean, cohesive appearance while adding an extra layer of protection against the elements.

Although the project did not present any major complications, the preparation stage played an important role in ensuring the finished result met professional standards. Minor stucco cracks and areas of wear were addressed early in the process, and careful caulking around windows and trim helped ensure strong paint adhesion and a uniform final finish.
