Stucco
Sometimes, you just need a new look. A great way to refresh and update your home for some curb appeal is to choose stucco over siding. Not only can you save on energy bills by choosing stucco, but can also add value to your home by choosing a durable long-lasting exterior that stands against our Colorado weather. Our technicians will work with you to achieve the desired look you are wanting to enhance your home with stucco.
We use a three part process in installing stucco:
First we apply a waterproofing material according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure our warranty, then overlay with the installation of the metal lath. We create an overlap at the edges of the lath by at least 1 inch and leave a small gap between sheets for expansion and contraction of the stucco for our Colorado Springs temperature changes.
Next over the metal lath, we apply the scratch coat that seeps into the lath, creating a solid “grip”. This coat is literally scratched on purpose to create proper adhesion for the second brown coat. This brown coat of the stucco process needs curing time and will require us to visit to wet the stucco as part of the curing process.
Finally, we will apply the beautiful finish coat in this stucco process which includes the color of your choice. Our skilled stucco laborers have just the right touch for creating even textures and smooth stucco finishes. We recommend La Habra products because of their manufacturer’s warranty and timeless quality results.
To achieve a certain look to your Colorado Springs stucco home, you can expect us to discuss with you pop-outs around windows or perhaps other decorative ideas.
Stucco repairs
For hairline stucco repairs, sometimes a fog coat can do the trick. We will inspect the damages thoroughly and create a repair plan to restore your stucco back to its original beauty. Every situation is different, so you can expect a free stucco inspection from us to evaluate the damage and a free stucco estimate for the plan to repair.
Siding
Siding inspections and repairs always begin with checking the integrity behind the siding for any moisture penetration. Moisture can cause significant structural problems and therefore needs to be taken care of before we do any replacements. RC Home Improvements is thorough to check not just the siding also the insulation and OSB board behind the siding.
We proudly feature Vinyl or wood siding for full siding replacements and can offer James Harding products.
