Plant City Stucco did such a good job on our exterior. We had some areas of the stucco that had signs of water damage and had started to separate from the walls of the house. They came out to check it out, provided us with a reasonable estimate which we accepted and they had it done within a week. Really good stuff. Thanks!

When should I call Plant City Stucco?If you are a home or business owner, you're only too aware that those assets require near-constant maintenance. From lawn care and pool maintenance to pressure washing parking lots and paver sealing, your to-do list is never-ending and can cause significant levels of stress, not to mention placing a financial burden on your household or business.
In the harsh central Florida climate, building exteriors are subject to harsh climatic conditions with summer temperatures nearing 100°F, near-90% humidity and an average annual rainfall of 60". This is without even considering the threat of severe weather events such as lightning storms, hurricanes and even tornadoes, bringing forceful winds that can damage any nature of siding you may apply. As such, it can be challenging to find a stucco contractor or stucco service that can provide you with a hard-wearing, lasting exterior application that is also aesthetically pleasing. |

What exactly is stucco?
Stucco is a material used in building mixtures for interior and exterior applications. Stucco materials are typically composed of Portland cement, sand, and water; lime can also be added to give stucco flexibility or resistance to moisture damage. The material is applied as a thin coat over wall surfaces like brick, cinder block, mud brick, wood, etc.
Stucco has been around for more than 4500 years with its origins traced back to the Mesopotamians. It was introduced into Europe by way of the Moors during their occupation of Mediterranean countries. Stucco is still widely used today on both residential and commercial buildings where it provides protection against weather conditions including rain, hail, high winds pelting rain drops, and low temperatures. Stucco provides insulation, noise reduction, decreases dust penetration into buildings, and aids in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Today stucco is made with Portland cement but historically it was composed of lime mortar.

Stucco is typically applied during the construction process of residential homes, but can also be applied to existing structures as long as all surfaces are clean and free of any dirt or grime that would prevent adhesive contact between the material and surface of the wall. Once the walls are adequately prepped, standard stucco siding procedures are followed which consist of creating a horizontal base coat composed of coarse sand and a fiberglass mesh wire. The stucco material or scratch coat is then applied on top of the base coat and allowed to dry before being sanded smooth.
The benefits of stuccoing an exterior surface include providing protection from moisture, wear and tear, temperature changes, abrasion damage due to wind blown debris knocking against walls, and also providing insulation for minimizing noise pollution. Stucco can be used to cover any type of building wall materials like cinder block, poured concrete, construction grade lumber (2x4s), brick, stone or wood panels. It can also be sprayed onto surfaces in order to save time when it comes applying large quantities of stucco during new construction processes. No matter how you apply stucco, expect it to last for many years. The life of stucco can be extended by painting your exterior wall surface with an elastomeric paint. |
Stucco has also been used to create beautiful works of art like trompe l'oeil (art that fools the eye)--for example, creating a 3-D version of Michelangelo's David. Stucco is widely used in many countries throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America and Australia. Its ability to provide insulation against harsh weather conditions makes stucco an attractive building product no matter which part of the world you live in. It is cheap to produce, easy to apply, versatile, durable, fire resistant and excellent for soundproofing.
One of stucco's not-so-great points is that it can make your house hot during summer months as it absorbs heat throughout the day. However, there are now insulated stuccos that have special coatings which reduce radiant heat by 50%.
Stucco can be applied in layers, with each layer having a different stucco color or texture to create various looks depending on the applied design. Stuccos can also be tinted for this purpose. Stucco colors and tints are longer lasting than paint, penetrating all the way through to the back of its surface, giving stucco a more durable coloring than painted siding. Stucco often comes in lighter colors, while the most popular looks are white, dark brown and gray.
Stucco is often preferred over other types of siding for durability reasons as it can withstand 120 mph winds without requiring additional support. It also offers excellent corrosion resistance, negating the need for it to be repainted. One reason stuccos are durable is because they are made out of sand, cement and lime - three things that are extremely tough when combined.
