Cement Stucco

Traditional stucco application consisted of two to three coats of plaster with varying finishes-from smooth to a rough trowel finish. The biggest drawback with stucco is cracking and damage from freeze and thaw in cold areas. However, on stable soil with static hydration, cracks can be kept to a minimum. A bit of high- quality flexible caulking that can be painted will usually do the trick. Good ventilation and paint is the best means of preventing freeze-thaw damage. Severely cracked or discoloured stucco can be recoated in time.
