Why New Stucco Installation Matters
When a couple in Palm City bought a newly framed house, they wanted the exterior to be both durable and attractive. So, they contacted Duque Professional Painting and Stucco INC for help. We partnered with their builder to plan the project from the start. Just three weeks later, their home had a smooth stucco exterior that held up well in the rain and sun.
In Florida, proper stucco application is key. It adds curb appeal, but more importantly, it protects your home from water damage. While it’s true that stucco improves insulation, it also helps reduce outside noise and wear from salt air. That’s why many homeowners in Port St. Lucie choose this material.
Our Proven Stucco Installation Process
Every job starts with inspection and prep. First, we inspect the framing or block surface. Then, we install a moisture barrier to keep water out. After that, our crew attaches galvanized metal lath — this mesh holds the stucco in place.
Once the mesh is secured, we apply the scratch coat. This layer grips the surface and sets the base. We let it cure properly. Next comes the brown coat. It provides thickness and shape. After that, we move on to the top coat, which creates the final look. Every layer cures before the next is applied.
We finish by adding texture and color. Whether you want a smooth style or something more textured, we can match it. Because each step is important, we never skip or rush.
Stucco Works on Many Surfaces
Stucco is versatile. It works on both old and new buildings. For example, we apply it over:
- Wood framing with sheathing
- Concrete block walls
- Foam board or cement board
- Existing stucco (with repairs)
However, we always check for moisture and damage before starting. This ensures the new stucco will last. Duque Professional Painting and Stucco INC, as a professional stucco contractor, knows how to prepare every type of surface correctly.
Textures and Finishes for Your Style
Everyone has a different style. That’s why we offer custom textures. Common choices include:
- Sand finish
- Skip trowel
- Lace texture
- Dash finish
If you’re not sure what to choose, we’ll show you samples. In fact, a client in White City asked for a unique stucco swirl. We matched a sample from a home in Coral Springs. She loved the result. It matched her roof and gave her home a modern feel.
New Homes, Additions, and Garages
Stucco isn’t just for homes. We also install it on garages, guest houses, and additions. For new construction, we work with builders to make sure the timing fits. For additions, we carefully match the finish so that new walls blend with old ones.
In fact, a family in Fort Pierce added a sunroom to their home. We matched the old texture and blended the new stucco seamlessly. Now, you’d never guess the room wasn’t part of the original structure.
Commercial Stucco Installation
Businesses trust Duque Professional Painting and Stucco INC for stucco installation too. We work on medical buildings, schools, shops, and office parks. We keep the site neat and make sure to stay on schedule. As a result, many commercial clients in Port St. Lucie choose us again and again.
One retail owner in River Park told us he chose stucco for energy savings. It made the building cooler inside and gave it a fresh look. Plus, the finish we applied helped reduce future paint costs.
