Stucco Repair and Installation

Typically, it consists of a mixture of water, sand, lime and cement, although it may in some cases also contain some additives like synthetic acrylics or fibers in order to help strengthen it and increase its flexibility. Stucco may be applied in various different styles. Many Chicagoland homeowners decide on stucco instead of vinyl siding or other types of siding to give the exteriors of their home a more distinctive look.

Over time and due to exposure to the elements, however, stucco can begin to crumble, crack or shrink. In the event that this occurs, homeowners may attempt some basic stucco repair as a do-it-yourself job with a simple stucco repair kit purchased from a local area home improvement store. But it’s important to keep in mind that this is a reliable option only when damage and deterioration to the stucco is fairly limited. Major stucco repair should in most instances be performed by professional stucco repair contractors that have the experience, appropriate tools and training to successfully and safely complete the job.
