"They should be called A+1 Vinyl Siding Company! Jeff, their salesman, was very professional and thoroughly explained everything we needed to know about vinyl and their company. Paul, the owner, was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating to our schedule. We had Leaguard gutters installed only 2 years ago, so we had to arrange for Leafguard to come out and take the gutters down before our siding job began. Paul juggled his crew's schedule so that they started our job right as the gutters were coming down! The crew was also extremely friendly and hard-working. You could tell they have been doing this for years and paid attention to all the little details. Our house is a Tudor colonial, with brick on the first story and stucco on the second story, so all of the siding work was just on the second story. They had all the proper equipment to get the job done efficiently and cleaned up every evening. The job only took 1 week and they even worked half a day on a Saturday. We would highly recommend them!!"

Stucco questions, answered by experts

To repair damaged exterior stucco, you’ll first remove all loose and crumbling material from the damaged area. You then need to thoroughly clean the area and dampen it to ensure proper bonding. After that, you’ll apply a bonding agent to the repair area, then apply new stucco in layers, allowing for curing time between each layer. The final coat should be textured to match the surrounding stucco pattern as closely as possible. Once fully cured, the repaired area can be painted to match the rest of the wall if needed.

You should aim to let stucco dry for at least 48 hours before it rains. While misting new stucco and keeping it moderately moist is important for strength and longevity, uncontrolled exposure to rain can lead to weak stucco that doesn’t bond properly. Rain can also affect the stucco finish and the color unevenly, leaving you with less appealing siding.

The best exterior paint finish for stucco is a flat or low-gloss finish. A high-gloss finish will show imperfections in the stucco and give it a candy-coated look that many homeowners don’t like. The best types of exterior paint to use on stucco are acrylic, masonry, and elastomeric. However, acrylic is recommended because it is both durable and breathable.

Solid, unpainted stucco shouldn’t suffer damage from dots of glue used for this task. If the stucco is dirty, you may notice slight marks when you heat and peel the glue away, but these aren’t permanent.

However, not all stucco walls are solid stucco. Some are “faux” stucco with a foam backing. This kind of stucco veneer is more susceptible to damage, including damage from hot glue. We don’t suggest attaching anything to these kinds of stucco walls, so make sure you check the stucco type before starting this project.

To maintain stucco, inspect it annually for cracks and clean the surface with a mild detergent. Seal any cracks promptly to prevent water infiltration, and reseal or repaint as needed to preserve its appearance.
