Stucco Painting in San Antonio, TX

Yes, but all loose and peeling paint must be removed first. We scrape, power wash, and sand to create a sound surface before priming and recoating. Painting over peeling paint guarantees the new coat will peel too.

Elastomeric coatings are thicker, more flexible, and formulated specifically for masonry. They stretch with thermal movement, bridge hairline cracks, and resist UV breakdown far longer than standard exterior paint. In the San Antonio climate, elastomeric coatings last 10 to 15 years versus 3 to 5 for regular paint.

With proper preparation and elastomeric coatings, expect 10 to 15 years of performance. Standard exterior paint on stucco in our climate typically lasts only 3 to 5 years before significant fading and chalking appear.

Lighter earth tones, warm whites, and soft tans perform best because they reflect more heat, show less fading, and complement the South Texas landscape. Darker colors absorb more UV and heat, which accelerates fading and increases thermal stress on the stucco.

Yes. All cracks, holes, and damaged areas should be repaired before painting. Paint does not fix structural issues and will crack over unrepaired damage. Our process includes all necessary repairs as part of the preparation phase.

Stucco painting costs typically range from $2 to $5 per square foot depending on the condition of existing surfaces, amount of prep work needed, and type of coating selected. We provide free detailed estimates after an on-site evaluation.

Absolutely. We regularly handle full color changes. Proper primer ensures the new color covers completely regardless of how different it is from the original. We apply samples on your walls first so you can see the actual result in your lighting before committing.

No. Painting changes the color and applies a protective coating over the existing texture. Remodeling changes the actual texture of the stucco surface through skim coating or overlay. If you want a different texture, that is a remodeling project. If you want a different color or protective coating over your current texture, that is painting.

Yes. Our exterior stucco texture and paint service is one scope, not two trades. We repair cracks and chips, re-texture the patched areas to match the surrounding finish, then apply an elastomeric or acrylic masonry coating across the whole elevation so color and texture read uniformly. If you want a new texture on the entire house rather than a new color, that is handled as a stucco remodeling project by the same crew.
