Stucco has been a popular building material for homes and businesses for decades, as it is quite versatile and provides a more durable and strong exterior. Stucco resists fire and water, does not mold or mildew and can be individualized in a wide variety of ways. The professionals at Joseph J. Jefferson & Son, Inc. have been in the stucco business since 1924 and offer experienced stucco installation, service and repair in Seattle and the greater Puget Sound area.
A very specific procedure must be followed in applying stucco to your home to ensure that it is completed properly. Initially and most importantly, the exterior surface must be thoroughly cleaned by either pressure-washing or in more extreme circumstances, by sandblasting. After the façade has dried completely, all cracks and holes must be repaired. The walls must then be prepped to receive the stucco and ensure effective bonding. Depending on the type of siding you currently have, different preparation work is required.
Plain or colored stucco is then carefully applied using appropriate safety measures, as it is composed of caustic materials. The surface is then “floated” and a finish coat added. During this time, your project can be individualized with designs etched into the stucco or a texture added with a sponge or other material. The entire process takes several days. After about 6 weeks curing time, it can be painted if desired.
