Stucco Remediation FAQ
What Are The Advantages of Stucco Siding?
Stucco is much more durable than many alternative siding materials. When properly installed and with routine maintenance, your stucco can last a lifetime. Stucco is also fire-resistant. Many homeowners choose stucco siding for its customizable appearance. Whether you want a textured or smooth finish, stucco can be adjusted to your liking.
What Are The Disadvantages of Stucco Siding?
One of the disadvantages of stucco is poor insulation. Compared to other siding styles, stucco does not offer as much temperature regulation. Stucco siding also suffers from water staining if it is routinely exposed to the elements. It is normal for cracks to develop in stucco siding, especially as homes settle. With regular stucco inspections and remediation, you can keep your siding in optimal condition.
Can I DIY Stucco Repairs?
Applying stucco is a difficult process that should be left to professionals who have years of hands-on experience. Stucco repairs require multiple people and specialized equipment.
How Do You Maintain Stucco Siding?
Stucco siding should be regularly inspected to identify cracks or damages early in their development. SkyView offers professional stucco inspection and remediation services to prevent minor issues from worsening. Other ways to maintain your stucco include using gutters and trimming surrounding vegetation.
