Protect and Refresh Your Stucco Surface

Exterior stucco painting and finishing services for residential homes throughout Jacksonville, Florida.

Stucco needs proper surface preparation and the right type of paint to hold up against Jacksonville humidity, rain, and sun. If the surface is not prepped correctly, paint will peel or trap moisture behind it. If the wrong paint is used, it will crack or fade quickly. Painting stucco is often done after repairs to protect the patched areas or to refresh worn surfaces that have lost their color over time.

Kiss Stucco llc provides exterior painting services as part of stucco repair or restoration. The work includes cleaning the surface, repairing any cracks or damage, and applying paint that allows moisture to escape while protecting the stucco from weather exposure. Color selection is available to complement your existing exterior or update the appearance of your Jacksonville home. This service is ideal for completing repairs or refreshing stucco that has faded or discolored.

How Stucco Is Prepared and Painted

Before painting stucco in Jacksonville, the surface is cleaned to remove dirt, mildew, and loose material. Any cracks or damage are repaired, and the stucco is allowed to dry completely. A breathable paint or elastomeric coating is applied in layers to provide even coverage and protect the surface from moisture and UV exposure.

After the painting is finished, your stucco will look clean and uniform. Faded or discolored areas will be gone, and the surface will have a fresh, even color. The paint will also add a layer of protection that helps the stucco resist water intrusion and weathering.

Painting does not fix underlying structural problems or damage caused by moisture intrusion. If your stucco has cracks, soft spots, or water damage, those issues need to be repaired before painting. The paint will help protect the surface, but it will not prevent damage if the stucco system has already failed.

What to Ask Before Painting Stucco

Homeowners in Jacksonville often want to know what type of paint to use, whether the stucco needs to be repaired first, and how long the paint will last in Florida weather. These are practical questions that help you plan the work.

What type of paint is used on stucco?
Stucco is painted with breathable acrylic or elastomeric coatings that allow moisture to escape while protecting the surface. Standard house paint does not work well on stucco because it traps moisture.

Yes, cracks and damage should be repaired before painting. Painting over cracks does not fix them and can trap moisture behind the surface, which leads to more damage.
