Stucco is a great exterior finish, but it needs the right paint — and the right prep. Cheap paint traps moisture. Here's how we do it the right way.
Stucco needs to breathe. We use elastomeric or acrylic stucco paint that lets moisture escape so your walls don't blister or peel.
Hairline cracks get filled and sanded. Larger cracks get mesh and patch compound. Our drywall installation crew in Melrose Park handles the bigger repairs.
Stucco holds dirt. We pressure wash and let it fully dry before paint touches the wall.
Unpainted or chalky stucco gets primer so paint adheres and lasts.
Picking exterior colors is hard. We bring samples and help you choose what works for your house.
Melrose Park has a lot of stucco homes from the mid-century era. We've painted them for over a decade.
We work on stucco homes all through Melrose Park — from the bungalows near the Metra tracks to the larger homes around the park. Our shop in Franklin Park is about ten minutes away, so we're close and we know the neighborhood.

Not all stucco is the same. Traditional stucco needs different paint than synthetic EIFS. We know the difference.
Classic cement-based stucco. We use elastomeric paint that expands and contracts with the wall, so cracks don't reappear quickly.
Synthetic stucco (EIFS) needs a different approach. We use the right products and techniques so you don't void your warranty.
Stucco painting is a different animal than siding or wood. Here's the exact process we follow on every house.
We walk your property, inspect every stucco wall, and give you a written price.
We clean all stucco surfaces to remove dirt, chalk, and loose material. Then we let it dry completely.
Hairline cracks and larger ones get filled, sanded, and blended into the existing texture.
Unpainted or chalky stucco gets primer so the topcoat bonds properly.
We spray or roll the first coat of elastomeric or acrylic stucco paint.
Second coat goes on after the first dries. Even coverage, full opacity.
You inspect the finished exterior. We fix anything you're not happy with.
We clean up, remove protective covers, and leave your yard spotless.
If the left side sounds like your house, the right side is what you get when we leave.
Years of sun and rain have washed the color out. Your house looks tired.
New paint that makes your house look cared for. Neighbors will notice.

Every crack repaired before paint goes on. Protected from the elements.
Cheap paint or wrong paint type traps moisture and peels off in sheets.
