WE HAVE ALL THE SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT

Our premier cement stucco is a modification of a traditional three coat cement stucco over wire lath. The stucco industry has improved on the original Portland cement base coat by adding chopped-fiberglass and plasticizers to the mix. This has enabled the stucco siding to be stronger, more flexible, and more crack resistant.

Innovations in the finish coats have enabled us to install pre-bagged cement stucco products such as Penn-Crete Stucco and flexible acrylic finish coats. The options for color and textures are limited only by the imagination of the designer and skill of the craftsman. The flexible acrylic finish coats have virtually eliminated cracking while maintaining the integrity of the Portland cement stucco system. Stucco is perfect for homeowners/businesses who need an affordable, long lasting and aesthetically pleasing exterior finish.
