Our Stucco Services in Albuquerque

Stucco Installation

New stucco installation adds durability and curb appeal to Albuquerque homes and buildings. We apply quality stucco finishes that stand up to intense sun exposure and temperature swings. Our installation starts with proper lathing and base coats to ensure a solid foundation for years of protection.

Stucco Repair

Cracked or deteriorating stucco compromises your home's weather protection. We repair patches, cracks, and damaged sections before they spread. In Albuquerque's dry climate, even small stucco damage can lead to water infiltration and structural issues if left unaddressed.

Re-Stucco Services

Re-stuccoing replaces worn or failing stucco with a fresh finish. Over time, Albuquerque's intense UV rays and thermal expansion break down stucco. A complete re-stucco refresh restores appearance and restores full weather protection to your property.

Stucco Restoration

Restoration work preserves historic stucco on older Albuquerque homes and buildings. We match original finishes, repair structural damage, and restore architectural details. Our restoration services maintain the character of your property while ensuring long-term durability.

Specialized Stucco Solutions

Parapet Repair

Parapets crack and deteriorate faster than walls due to exposure. We repair and seal parapet tops to prevent water leaks. Proper parapet stucco repair protects the structural integrity of your roof line.

Lathing

Quality lathing is the foundation of all stucco work. We install metal lath and reinforcement to support stucco adhesion. Proper lathing prevents cracking and extends the life of your stucco finish in Albuquerque's climate.

Synthetic Stucco

Synthetic stucco offers a lightweight, energy-efficient alternative to cement. It resists cracking from thermal movement and reduces heat absorption. Many Albuquerque homes benefit from synthetic stucco's durability and lower maintenance requirements.

What Causes Stucco Problems in Albuquerque?

Albuquerque's intense UV radiation, extreme temperature swings, and low humidity accelerate stucco degradation. Water penetration from cracks, poor installation, or inadequate maintenance breaks down the finish and underlying structure. Thermal expansion and contraction create stress that leads to visible cracking and separation.

UV rays fade and weaken stucco finish year-round
Temperature swings cause expansion and contraction stress
Water leaks through cracks damage interior walls and framing
Poor installation or inadequate lathing leads to early failure

Regular inspection and maintenance prevent small issues from becoming expensive repairs.
