Stucco Repair from Lupine Construction

Stucco can be a dazzling accent to a building. Unfortunately, it is vulnerable to time, elements, weather, and manmade damage. If you are in the Colorado Springs and in need of stucco repair, the experienced professionals at Lupine Construction are here to help.

What is Stucco?

Stucco is plaster used to coat wall surfaces or molded into architectural accents. This is a very old technique and a trademark of Spanish and Mediterranean buildings. In fact, stucco can be found in or on some of the world’s most ancient structures. There is no doubt that stucco is beautiful, but it does require some care. We are here to provide that care.

After all, stucco is fragile. It is a plaster made up of sand, cement, lime, and water. Modern stucco can be mixed with additives to increase its strength and flexibility, but it is still susceptible to damage. Lupine can repair this material on buildings both old and new. Older stucco can become cracked or damaged from the inside out if it is reinforced with wood. Stucco is porous so it can absorb moisture, which creates a new set of problems. In addition to cracking and breaking, stucco can deteriorate and separate from buildings.

Repair Techniques

Lupine can restore stucco and make it look like new. We can also design preventative measures against water damage since stucco can be harmed without proper draining and guttering. We can correct damage and even keep it from happening to begin with. Like initial application, stucco is repaired in stages. These stages consist of varying degrees from superficial to a complete reapplication. A word of caution: the more extensive the repairs, the more noticeable they might be. While Lupine takes every possible measure to make repairs discrete as possible, sometimes replacement (Or a full redash) is the best option.

We treat stucco like it is, a time-honored work of art. Lupine will treat any degree of stucco repair with the utmost care and consideration to ensure the full restoration of its beauty. If your home or building needs to be repaired or restored, we can do it.
