When it comes to painting stucco or walls, we prefer to paint with exterior flat latex or stucco coat, one full coat followed by another full coat 3 or 4 hours later. Which is my understanding of what two coats of paint means.
Some of the other painting companies out there like to use Elastomeric Coatings which when applied properly by your stucco painter is a good system.

Why Choose Stucco Painting for Your Property?
Stucco is a highly durable material, but it isn’t immune to the elements. Painting your stucco walls provides more than just a cosmetic upgrade. It seals the surface, preventing moisture infiltration, cracks, and mold growth, which are common challenges in Nova Scotia’s humid climate. Additionally, a fresh coat of paint can enhance energy efficiency by reflecting sunlight, keeping your property cooler in the summer months.
For property owners in Halifax, investing in stucco painting can also increase curb appeal and property value. Whether you’re planning to sell or simply want to create a more welcoming environment, a vibrant, clean stucco finish makes a strong first impression.
Signs Your Stucco Needs Painting
Not sure if it’s time to paint your stucco? Here are some common signs:
- Visible Cracks: Even small cracks can let moisture in, leading to bigger problems.
- Faded or Discolored Paint: UV rays and weather exposure can cause paint to lose its vibrancy.
- Chipping or Peeling Paint: This is a clear sign that your stucco needs a fresh coat to protect it.
- Water Stains: Stains caused by rain or leaks indicate a need for protective painting.
- Outdated Color: If your exterior feels dated, a new paint job can modernize your property instantly.
Our Process
Stucco painting is a detailed process that requires patience and expertise. Here’s an overview of what goes into creating a flawless finish:
1. Surface Preparation
The first step involves thoroughly cleaning the stucco to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. This is often done with pressure washing, ensuring the surface is clean and ready to hold the paint. Any cracks or holes in the stucco are patched using stucco repair compounds to create a smooth, even surface.
2. Priming the Surface
A high-quality primer is applied to seal the stucco and create a strong foundation for the paint. This step ensures that the paint adheres properly and evenly across the textured surface.
3. Choosing the Right Paint
Elastomeric or acrylic latex paints are commonly used for stucco surfaces due to their durability, flexibility, and ability to resist cracking. These paints also provide excellent UV protection and weather resistance.
4. Application
Depending on the size and complexity of the project, the paint is applied using sprayers, rollers, or brushes. Multiple coats are typically required to achieve a consistent, rich finish.
5. Final Inspection
Once the paint has dried, a thorough inspection is conducted to ensure there are no missed spots or imperfections. Touch-ups are performed as needed to guarantee a flawless result.
Why a House Need Stucco Painting
The unique coastal climate of Halifax presents challenges for stucco surfaces, including high humidity, salt air, and temperature fluctuations. Painting your stucco acts as a shield, protecting it from these harsh elements while keeping it looking its best.
Stucco painting is also a practical solution for addressing discoloration caused by UV exposure or algae growth, common issues in the region. With the right products and techniques, these problems can be effectively managed, ensuring your property remains beautiful and functional year-round.
