Stucco Work
Stucco provides attractive, durable cladding for commercial buildings in diverse architectural styles. As your general contractor for stucco application, we deliver complete exterior systems from structural substrate through finished surface for property owners building across North Texas.
Stucco (cement plaster) offers versatile exterior finish suitable for many commercial building types. Properly applied over appropriate substrates with correct moisture management, stucco provides decades of service. Improper installation leads to moisture problems that damage buildings and require expensive remediation.
DeSoto Concrete Contractors executes stucco work following building science principles. Moisture management is critical - stucco systems must allow walls to dry while preventing water infiltration. We install complete wall systems including weather barriers, drainage planes, lath, and multiple stucco coats designed to work together.
Stucco applications for commercial buildings include building exterior cladding, architectural features and details, repairs and patching of existing stucco, column and beam wraps, parapet and wall caps, and renovation of stucco buildings.
Modern stucco systems include traditional three-coat over metal lath, one-coat systems over foam boards, synthetic EIFS systems, and specialty finishes. Each system has appropriate applications, advantages, and limitations. We match stucco system to building type, climate exposure, and performance requirements.

How long does commercial stucco last?
Properly installed stucco routinely lasts 50+ years with periodic maintenance. Problems typically trace to improper installation, inadequate moisture management, or substrate movement. Quality installation prevents premature failure.
Can you repair existing stucco buildings?
Yes, we provide stucco repair including patching, recoating, and remediation of moisture-damaged systems. Repair approach depends on damage extent - from localized patching to complete re-stucco of affected areas.
What causes stucco to crack?
Cracking results from substrate movement, improper lath installation, incorrect mix proportions, too-rapid drying, or missing control joints. Proper installation techniques and appropriate reinforcement minimize cracking.
How do you match stucco for repairs?
Matching involves texture replication, color matching, and finishing technique. Exact matches are difficult on weathered stucco, but we can achieve acceptable results through sample testing and skilled application.
