Stucco Solutions & Transformations
As we’ve said before, the CHIC Advanced Coating System is NOT a paint. For it to work, our crews follow a well-defined process – this includes repairing existing damage (like fixing stucco cracks) BEFORE applying the CHIC stucco coating.
Below, we’ll identify common issues we encounter prior to our weatherproof applications. And alongside, we’ll show the amazing CHIC transformations.
Stucco Restoration
As part of our system, we repair and restore all wall surfaces before applying the CHIC stucco coating to your home.
Eliminating Water Ingress Issues
Want to fix stucco cracks? Be aware that stucco cracking can come from structural issues. We source the problems, repair the underlying concern, and put it back together before protecting your walls with CHIC.
Stained & Cracked Stucco
A typical sign of stucco deterioration is cracking and staining. Once we restore and protect your walls with CHIC - no more covering up stains or fixing stucco cracks!
Colour Change
A great compromise to replacing old dated stucco is to coat it with CHIC! Go from stained and worn out stucco to a modern, clean look.
And as a bonus, this home's exterior is now protected against the elements for LIFE.
Woodpecker Damage
Take Control of Woodpecker Damage
Woodpeckers are often attracted to stucco because it mimics the sound and feel of unhealthy trees, which are a natural part of their habitat. The Northern Flicker, Downy Woodpecker, American three-toed woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker or any other Woodpecker species frequently create holes in stucco and pick at the foam underneath EIFS acrylic stucco leaving homeowners frustrated and wondering “how to stop woodpeckers from pecking holes in my stucco?”
Over time, woodpecker pecking ruins stucco walls, making your home more vulnerable to the elements. While woodpeckers are often seen as searching for insects, their primary reason for pecking is to mark territory and attract a mate. These holes are often used as nesting sites, further damaging the integrity of your stucco.
As the stucco weakens, the problem only gets worse. Woodpecker damage not only affects the appearance of your home but also its structural integrity, requiring repairs before the damage escalates.
A SOLUTION to woodpecker damage!
Not just repairing the damage but preventing further damage. We ensure your home stays protected by following the procedures designed by CHIC over 40 years ago!
Cracked and Peeling Acrylic Stucco
A lot of newer homes and commercial buildings are opting for acrylic stucco. The issues we see with this modern finish are cracking, peeling, staining and fading. Issues that are difficult to fix without having to redo entire walls.
Another issue we come across with this Acrylic stucco is that it is very good at hiding water damage.
Most people don't realize there is a moisture problem with their acrylic stucco until the interiors are leaking, windows are warping, or there is a presence of mold inside the home. The good news is that with the CHIC System, we can restore the stucco to better than new and permanently protect the building from further water issues. The CHIC option is the better option than trying to paint over the issues and a lot less expensive then replacing the exterior.
