Your home’s exterior is what makes a lasting impression on guests. Stucco not only makes the exterior of the home look crisp and clean but it also provides a lot of benefits to the homeowner.

What is Stucco?
Stucco is a mixture of cement, sand, lime and water and once it’s dry it can be painted any colour you wish. Contractors mix stucco and apply it to a wire base, called a lath, in multiple coats; providing a durable, seamless look for the home’s exterior. Stucco is ideal for a modern home finish but contractors can create stucco in a variety of different textures, producing the look you want to achieve. These styles include; course, pebbled, raked, smooth and swirled.

Reap the Benefits
•Durability
Stucco is a very durable material to use for the side of your home, as this cement mixture can last up to 50 years with little to no maintenance. Since stucco expands and contracts with the weather, this reduces the risk of cracking or falling apart under the pressure of the changing seasons. Once a contractor properly waterproofs the stucco’s exterior, it will also be resistant to mildew, mold and rot.

•Maintenance
Maintenance to your stucco is extremely minimal. In comparison to other materials such as siding, stucco does not need to be repeatedly painted, reinstalled, replaced or regularly cleaned. In addition to keeping the stucco from being damp on a constant basis, you can wash your walls with a power washer if you feel like they’re getting dirty and you can paint the stucco whenever you are in need of a change.

•Add Value to Your Home
Having stucco on the exterior of your home can increase the value of your home for multiple reasons. Stucco is energy efficient, fire resistant, low maintenance, rot resistant, sound dampening and adds great curb appeal to your home’s exterior. Not only will it add value to your home in the event you decide to sell but these benefits can allow you to apply for improved home insurance premiums.

Stucco Gives Your Chimney A Unique Look!

Masonry chimneys are beautiful, but sometimes homeowners want a different look. If you are looking to repair a damaged masonry chimney and want a customizable new look and style, stucco may be for you!

Chimney stucco can be applied over damaged masonry as a way to prevent further damage, avoid the costly expense of a chimney rebuild and give your home a unique look. In addition, chimney stucco can also be applied to help your chimney blend more cohesively with the style of the rest of your home!

Benefits Of Chimney Stucco

Stucco is a beautiful and affordable choice for any home, whether you’re considering it for your chimney or your home’s exterior. In addition to being a cost-effective option for covering your chimney, stucco is an extremely long-lasting and durable building material. This is ideal for southeastern Pennsylvania, where the variation in temperature between cold winters and hot summers can often wreak havoc on our chimney’s exterior.

Another reason homeowners love stucco is that it can be mixed to almost any color, allowing your chimney to seamlessly blend with the rest of your home. Likewise, there are a wide variety of different textures that can be created, as well as application patterns that can give your chimney a unique look.

Replicate The Look Of Expensive Stone!

Stucco doesn’t have to be a one-dimensional siding choice! In addition to adding different textures, colors and patterns, stucco can also be molded to mimic the look of stone. This decorative treatment is perfect for homeowners who want the look of custom stonework but simply don’t have it in their budget.
Using a stone texture application, your chimney stucco can be made to resemble expensive field stone. But just because it’s not actual stone work, doesn’t mean it won’t last — stucco is incredibly sturdy and will continue to look beautiful for years to come
