Frequently Asked Questions About Chicago Stucco Co
Can you clean stucco?
Unfortunately, cleaning stucco effectively is quite challenging. Due to its porous nature, stucco tends to absorb dirt and pollutants over time, making them difficult to remove completely.
Can you paint stucco?
We do not recommend painting stucco. Most paints are designed for wood and metal surfaces, not cement-based materials like stucco. Instead, we utilize an acrylic, water-repellent coating specifically formulated for cement surfaces.
Can I change the color of my stucco with your process?
Yes, it's possible to change your stucco to almost any color you desire. We offer color samples and color-matching services to help you choose. We have successfully changed the color of numerous homes.
What colors are available?
We can produce virtually any color or shade you prefer. The only limitations are ultra-deep tones and certain color shades.
Can you match colors?
We can match most colors, with a few exceptions. It's particularly challenging when dealing with old, raw cement, surfaces with inconsistent appearances, or those coated with glossy paints.
Can you match textures?
Absolutely. Texture matching is one of our specialties, and we have extensive experience in this area. We consider it a key strength of our company.
Can you fix cracks?
Yes, we can repair cracks. This is typically done during a recoating job when changing the color. Most hairline cracks are not serious. In previously painted structures, cracks are often in the paint layer rather than the stucco itself.
If I have my home stucco recoated now, can an addition to the home be matched to the stucco recoating 3 to 5 years later?
Yes, we can match additions to your existing stucco. The main variable is the age of the stucco, as it naturally accumulates dirt and oxidizes over time. For best results, we recommend completing all remodeling before applying the stucco coating. Work done 3 to 5 years later may appear slightly lighter or cleaner when first applied.
What is the difference between cement stucco and Dryvit?
Cement stucco is a traditional exterior plaster that has been used for millennia. It's commonly found on older homes. Dryvit, or EIFS, is a more recent synthetic product consisting of a thin layer over styrofoam. It's been used in the us for about 30 years and is primarily intended for masonry applications, not wood frame construction.
Do you use EIFS, synthetic stucco or Dryvit products?
We exclusively use traditional cement stucco. While we briefly used synthetic products in the past, we have discontinued their use due to concerns about durability and moisture-related issues.
