Why Proper Stucco Prep Makes All the Difference
When it comes to stucco work, what’s underneath matters just as much as what you see on the surface. At Stucco Champions, we believe that long-lasting, beautiful stucco finishes start with one thing — proper prep.
The Foundation of a Long-Lasting Finish
Whether you’re re-stuccoing or applying stucco for the first time, surface preparation is what determines how well the new coat bonds and performs. That’s why our team puts in the time to do it right from the start.
Our Surface Prep Process Includes:
-
Detailed inspection of your walls to check for damage or moisture issues
-
Removal of all loose or deteriorated stucco
-
Thorough patching of cracks to prevent future damage
-
Application of a bonding agent to ensure the new finish adheres properly
These steps aren’t optional — they’re essential to creating a smooth, durable finish that stands up to the elements.
Built to Code, Built to Last
At Stucco Champions, we don’t just aim for cosmetic improvements. We follow all applicable building codes and industry standards — including ASTM C926 — to ensure that your stucco system is both strong and compliant.
This means:
-
Your walls are structurally sound
-
The finish coat won’t peel, bubble, or delaminate
-
You’ll get the full life expectancy from your stucco investment
Why It Matters to Homeowners
Cutting corners on prep might save time, but it costs more in the long run. Here’s what proper prep gets you:
✅ A flawless, modern finish
✅ Stronger protection from rain, wind, and sun
✅ Fewer repairs or maintenance calls
✅ Increased home value and peace of mind
And most importantly, it gives you a stucco job you’ll actually love looking at.
Signs Your Home Needs Professional Prep Before Re-Stuccoing
-
Large or frequent cracks
-
Peeling paint over old stucco
-
Uneven texture or discolored patches
