Excellent Exterior Stucco and Paint Maintenance

Stucco is a versatile and beautiful finish and comes in a variety of textures and colors. It can make your home look great and also serve a more serious purpose: protecting your home. Turn to McIntyre Stucco and Painting LLC for outstanding services. Stucco and painted surfaces act as a barrier against the elements to protect the walls underneath from moisture, preventing mold and other undesirable conditions.

Stucco is important in Jacksonville as the area experiences a lot of wet weather and high humidity. This barrier is essential to keeping your home in top shape. It’s important that you are up to date with general exterior maintenance and any stucco repairs. Call us today for a free consultation.

While a stucco contractor is not required for every little crack you get, it's recommended to contact one for general stucco maintenance as your finish ages. One aspect of stucco maintenance that you can do yourself is wash your walls periodically. Wet the walls thoroughly from bottom to top first, then wash in the same direction. After washing, a final rinse makes it look almost as good as new.

This is also a great opportunity to inspect your walls for any major cracks, holes or pieces missing, in which case you'll need a stucco contractor. It might seem easy, but attempting to perform your own stucco repair could lead to unfavorable results. A mistake could ruin your finish, compromise your wall and allow moisture in.

Exterior Paint Care and Maintenance

To maximize its protective properties, you’ll need a fresh coat about every four years when it comes to house painting. It may be tempting to do the job yourself, but hiring a professional ensures the job is done well, with even coats and the right colors. It saves time and also keeps you safe as a painting contractor has all the equipment and scaffolding needed for such jobs.

Since Jacksonville-area stucco and painted walls experience more varied and harsher weather conditions than other places, it’s important to perform regular exterior maintenance. This keeps your home looking great and protects it from the elements.
