ColorEdge Painters's Prep Work and Clean Up

At ColorEdge Painters, meticulous preparation and thorough cleanup are integral to our stucco painting services. Before painting begins, our team carefully cleans the surface, occasionally using pressure washing to remove dirt, mildew, and debris, ensuring optimal paint adhesion.

We repair any cracks or damage with high-quality masonry materials, and apply a durable primer suited for stucco surfaces. After painting, we focus on detailed cleanup, removing all materials and waste, and inspecting the site to ensure your property looks pristine and beautifully refreshed.

Painting Your Stucco Exterior Surfaces

1. For exterior stucco walls, ColorEdge Painters lightly power washes stucco surfaces of dirt and dust and gently scrubs away mildew with a stiff bristle brush. For interior walls, we may use a vacuum dusting attachment. If your walls have grease or grime or mildew build-up, we apply an appropriate cleaner. Depending on the weather and season in Raleigh we may need to allow 24 to 48 hours for walls and surfaces to dry before patching or priming.
2. ColorEdge Painters preps walls by fixing small cracks and dings with masonry caulk. Due to the weather in Raleigh cracks on stucco walls larger than ⅛ inch-wide are common. For larger cracks, we remove any loose stucco with a putty knife and make repairs with a patching compound developed specifically for stucco.
3. Once the patching compound has dried, we prime stucco walls with a high-quality acrylic primer. In Raleigh's climate, acrylic primers adhere better to uneven stucco surfaces. Using a large, napped roller we force primer into the stucco's deep nooks and crevices.
4. Lastly, we apply a flat exterior paint. Stucco painting usually requires twice the amount of paint used for painting conventional siding.

Stucco Painting FAQs

Can You Paint Stucco?

Yes, stucco can definitely be painted, and doing so is a fantastic way to refresh and protect your home's exterior. At ColorEdge Painters, we specialize in stucco painting services that not only enhance the appearance of your home but also extend the lifespan of the stucco.

How Often Should Stucco Be Painted?

Stucco should be painted every 5-10 years, depending on its condition. Factors that can affect how often stucco needs repairs and maintenance include climate, previous painting, and how well the home is maintained.

Should I Paint Over Stucco?

It's best to avoid painting over stucco because it can trap moisture and damage the stucco's performance and durability. Instead, we add new stucco over the existing finish to change the color.

How Can I Prepare Stucco for Painting?

Here are some tips for preparing stucco for painting:

• Allow new stucco to dry and settle for 60 days
• Pressure wash to remove dirt, chalky residue, and chipping paint
• Check for cracks
• Sand the stucco
• Prime the stucco
