Finish Materials
Synthetic Stucco
The synthetic acrylic stucco finish is sometimes called Dryvit, based on a popular brand of that product. This type of synthetic finish comes in a bucket, it's the final finish product of stucco with color added integrally to the final coat to be applied. The product can perform well and last many years but eventually, one or a few things may happen.

In many or all of these scenarios, it may be necessary or cost effective to paint over the old finish.
This type of finish is very common over EIFS installations, and EIFS installations are in turn very common over commercial buildings.

Sand Cement Finish, Painted After
CalThe more conventional stucco finish consists of sand and cement. The sand is usually sieve-filtered to achieve uniformity of sand particles. The resulting finish must then be painted to achieve the desired color. This type of finish is painted since the beginning so there are few surprises when it comes to repainting walls with this type of stucco.
From the picture or even on site, it's usually difficult to tell what type of finish you have. The house in the picture has a torpedo sand (unfiltered) finish that has been painted white. Your stucco contractor (us!) can tell you what type of finish you may have. Call today at 832-720-6828. |
Color
Color Change
The color of the paint is another critical factor. For homeowner desiring a color change, the best option is not to look through a color wheel or multiple color tabs. We usually recommend picking a popular color that is close to what you're looking for. The reason is that people with better eyes for color fashions and palettes would have already made a good decision for us. But you are the customer so pick to your heart's content!
Color MatchIf the current color of the wall is desired, this is also a very doable process.

We would obtain a sample of the color in the form of a painted cover, a painted fixture, or a painted pipe that can be removed from the wall. When none of these are available we are able to use power tools to literally break off a big enough piece from the wall so that the wonderful people at the paint store can make a color match.
When dealing with repairs and patchwork (so to speak) often times it is necessary to paint a large enough area so that the slight differences in color are not as visible.
