R&R Stucco Contractors

Long known for its versatile appearance, ready availability, and durability, portland cement plaster remains a popular finish for many buildings, from commercial to residential. However, damage can occur, whether on older installations or poorly installed newer ones.
Moisture management is a top priority in a stucco installation because water is one of the major culprits in plaster deterioration. It can lead to rust and rot. It enters the building through cracks, through the roof, around chimneys, or through window and door openings. It can get behind building paper that is torn or not properly lapped at seams. Portland cement plaster is a breathable material that does allow moisture vapor to pass through, so it is capable of drying out and does not trap moisture.
