What is Stucco?
A time-tested exterior solution that enhances both the durability and aesthetics of your property.

Stucco Benefits
Low Maintenance & Cost-Effective
Unlike other exterior finishes, stucco requires minimal upkeep. It naturally repels pests, resists fire, and doesn’t need frequent repainting, saving you time and money on maintenance over the years.
Sound Insulation
Thanks to its dense composition, stucco acts as a natural sound barrier, reducing outside noise from traffic, neighbors, and other environmental disturbances. This makes it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial properties looking for peace and privacy.
FAQs
Commercial stucco is a durable and versatile exterior finish commonly used on commercial buildings. It consists of multiple layers, including a cement-based or acrylic finish, applied over a substrate for enhanced strength, insulation, and weather resistance.
Stucco typically takes up to 30 days to fully cure, though it begins to set within the first 2 days. During this curing process, proper moisture control is essential to prevent cracking and ensure maximum durability. Weather elements like temperature and humidity can influence the curing time.
Stucco application consists of three main stages:
- Scratch Coat – The first layer, which is applied to the substrate and roughed up to create a strong bonding surface.
- Brown Coat – A smoother intermediate layer that adds thickness and strengthens the system.
- Finish Coat – The final decorative layer, which determines the stucco’s color and texture.
The best stucco texture depends on aesthetic preference and functional needs. Popular choices include smooth, sand, lace, and dash finishes, each offering a distinct appearance. Smooth finishes provide a modern, sleek look, while lace textures are great for concealing imperfections. High-traffic areas often benefit from dash finishes due to their durability.
