Stucco offers a variety of different colors to choose from when installed, but it is also possible to paint stucco after installation to change up the look of your home or simply provide a refresh. Elastomeric paints work best when painting stucco, as they are clay based and offer a waterproof coating to the home, which works well in tandem with stucco’s water resistance. Priming the stucco with a masonry compatible primer will also help ensure the paint lasts along with the stucco.
Cracks forming in your stucco are normal and generally not a sign of any deeper structural damage to your siding. Stucco is a natural, cement based material that may crack due to a variety of reasons. While these cracks are normal, it is important to repair them in a timely manner. Working with a professional Peoria stucco contractor to repair the cracks will ensure a quality repair and allow a professional color match to be done, seamlessly blending the repair in with the surrounding stucco.
