Stucco
Stucco is a cement-based material that covers the exterior walls of homes and businesses. Stucco has been used for centuries as an exterior building material because it’s durable, water resistant, easy to maintain and costs less than other alternatives. Stucco is known for its durability and resistance to fire, moisture, and pests. It is also a good insulator, and can help reduce energy costs.
Stucco installation requires the expertise of a professional contractor, especially in the southwestern Missouri area where seasonal temperature fluctuations can impact the durability of the stucco. Improper installation can lead to cracks, water damage, and even structural issues. A skilled stucco contractor can ensure that the stucco is properly applied and reinforced with an embedded fiberglass mesh to prevent cracking.
