I recall a time when we helped a family near Historic Downtown Ocala who woke up to peeling paint and cracks after a sudden rainstorm.
They feared the damage might be beyond repair, but once we walked them through the process and completed a dependable stucco installation, they realized their home’s exterior could look great again and stay protected.
Whether you own a cozy bungalow off Magnolia Avenue or manage a commercial building near Belleview, our experienced team is ready to serve.
From older structures in need of a full restoration to new properties looking for a classic Florida finish, we combine local know-how and professional skill to keep your building sturdy and attractive.
Why Stucco?
Stucco is a time-tested exterior finish that can give both residential and commercial buildings in Ocala a clean, polished look.
We’ve seen firsthand how well it adapts to Florida’s climate. Stucco helps keep moisture out, especially when installed correctly, because it forms a durable outer shell.
It’s also energy-efficient – stucco walls (especially EIFS ) can help insulate your home or office, possibly reducing cooling costs in Ocala’s long, hot summers. Beyond these benefits, stucco can be painted in various colors or given a textured finish that stands out in your neighborhood.
We typically work with both traditional (hard-coat) stucco and synthetic stucco (EIFS). Traditional stucco is made from cement, sand, lime, and water.
It’s known for its strength and natural appearance. Synthetic stucco, or Exterior Insulation and Finish System, has added insulation and can be quicker to apply. Both types have their pros and cons, but each can do an excellent job of protecting your property when used and maintained the right way.
Our Stucco Installation Services
New Construction Stucco
For new homes in growing areas like Marion Oaks or commercial builds near Silver Springs, our team knows how to install stucco that meets local building codes.
We begin by applying a moisture barrier and lath to the exterior walls, ensuring a stable foundation. Then, we apply the stucco mixture – either traditional or synthetic, depending on your preference and the specifics of your project. Finally, we seal and finish the stucco for a clean, weather-resistant result.
Stucco Replacement
Many older buildings around Ocala have stucco systems that are cracked, peeling, or simply worn down by Florida’s high humidity and frequent rainstorms.
We can remove the old, damaged material and install a fresh coat that revitalizes your property’s look. Because sometimes, stucco cleaning just isn’t enough.
This process can be a cost-effective way to boost your building’s value and curb appeal without a full-scale remodel. The key is to address any underlying issues, like water damage or rotted sheathing, so your new stucco lasts as long as possible.
In some cases, we can do stucco repair or stucco waterproofing if it makes sense. If we decide that the stucco is not useless, we can do stucco restoration and recoating.
Commercial and Residential Projects
We welcome projects of all sizes. Our past work includes:
- Single-family homes in communities like Meadow Wood Farms and Fore Ranch.
- Multi-unit properties near the University of Florida’s IFAS Extension or along the outskirts of Ocala National Forest.
- Commercial buildings such as offices, retail centers, and even warehouse exteriors in downtown Ocala or industrial areas along Highway 27.
Whether you’re upgrading a historic home’s facade or giving a commercial complex a modern face-lift, we customize our services to meet your needs.
How Stucco Installation Works
Assessment and Consultation
We start by visiting your property and discussing your ideas for its exterior design. This step helps us understand your vision, timeline, and any concerns you might have about your building’s structure or climate-related challenges.
Material Selection
Next, we recommend whether traditional stucco or synthetic stucco would best serve your project. We also advise you on color, texture, and finish options.
For instance, some folks want a subtle, sand-like surface, while others prefer a more pronounced swirl or lace pattern. With stucco, you can truly personalize the exterior to your taste.
Preparation
Before applying any stucco, we make sure the surface is solid and free of debris. For new construction, this includes installing a water-resistant barrier and a strong metal lath or foam backing (in the case of EIFS).
For stucco replacement, we remove the old stucco, repair any underlying damage, and then prep the area for a fresh coat.
Application
The next step is applying multiple coats of stucco. In a traditional system, there’s typically a scratch coat, a brown coat, and a final color or finish coat. Synthetic systems may have fewer layers but require careful attention to detail during the insulation and mesh application.
We always allow proper drying times between coats so you’re left with an even, crack-resistant surface.
Final Inspection
When the stucco has dried, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure it meets our standards. We check for any hairline cracks, uneven areas, or gaps that could let in moisture.
If everything looks good, we clean up the site and leave your property looking refreshed and ready to weather many more years of Florida’s humidity, storms, and sunshine.
