Whether you're planning repairs, installing a new stucco exterior, or just exploring your options, our FAQs below can help guide your decision.
Stucco can last 50 years or more with proper installation and maintenance. Factors like weather, quality of application, and ongoing upkeep (such as sealing or repainting) impact its lifespan. In NYC, professional installation and annual inspections are key to long-lasting results.
Cracks, staining, bubbling, or loose pieces are all signs that your stucco may need repair. Moisture damage or visible gaps around windows and doors are also indicators. Early repairs can prevent further structural issues or water infiltration.
Yes, stucco is a durable and energy-efficient choice for NYC. It's resistant to moisture (with proper waterproofing), handles extreme temperatures well, and adds a clean finish to both modern and historic buildings. EIFS stucco is especially beneficial for insulation.
Traditional stucco is cement-based and applied in multiple coats, offering strong impact resistance. EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems) is lighter, uses insulation panels, and is known for better energy efficiency. Both are great for NYC — the choice depends on your project needs.
For major exterior work, especially on multi-family or commercial properties, permits may be required. We help clients navigate local DOB guidelines and handle the permit process when needed, ensuring all work is code-compliant.
