Stucco Repairs: Why It’s Important to Hire a Professional

There are many good reasons why stucco should not only be applied by a professional, but it should also be repaired by a professional. In today’s blog article, we are going to list for you some of the main reasons why only a professional should repair your stucco.

Tools

Stucco is applied with special tools that the DIY specialist will not have. Instead of wasting your time trying to figure out what tools to use, an experience professional stucco person will be outfitted and ready to work.

Assessment

Only a stucco professional can assess your damage and exactly what and how much needs repair. Stucco is typically applied to exteriors as part of a multi-layer system. A good understanding of this system is critical for being able to make repairs to it. You may see some cracks or water damage to the outside, but layers underneath may be damaged and need repair as well.

Colour

If you are needing stucco repair and need to colour match existing stucco—which is usually the case—the best chance of getting a good colour match is to hire a professional. Otherwise, your DIY repair is going to look just like a DIY repair.

Technical Complexity

Stucco is a mixture of several materials, namely sand, Portland cement, lime and water. And sometimes other additives. Each stucco professional uses their own recipe depending on the project at hand. Only a professional is going to understand what your particular stucco is made of and what is needed to do a seamless repair.

In order to have the long life that stucco is famous for, any stucco repair requires an experienced hand using the exact right mixture of materials.
