Our Stucco Repair Process
Our step-by-step stucco repair process guarantees professional results and complete satisfaction every time.
Step 1: Assessing The Damage
Our team starts by thoroughly inspecting your stucco surfaces to identify cracks, holes, or signs of moisture damage. We provide an accurate assessment to determine the most effective repair method.

We scrape off any damaged or loose cement stucco and apply a high-quality primer to ensure the new stucco bonds well to the existing surface.
Step 3: Repairing Cracks & Holes
Our team expertly applies a customized stucco mix to fill cracks and holes, blending seamlessly with the existing stucco exterior. Whether it’s traditional stucco or acrylic finish, we ensure the repairs restore both the look and structural integrity of your home.
Step 4: Painting Your Stucco
Once repairs are complete, we offer professional stucco painting to refresh the appearance of your home. We can even colour-match your existing stucco for a flawless finish.
Step 5: Cleanup
We take pride in leaving every job site spotless. Once the repair work is done, our team thoroughly cleans up, ensuring your home/business looks its best.
Common Stucco Issues In Calgary
Calgary’s weather can take a toll on stucco, causing issues that require timely repairs to maintain your home’s durable exterior:
Weather Damage
Harsh winters, freezing temperatures, and heavy rains can cause exterior stucco to crack or peel. Over time, moisture buildup can weaken the cement stucco, leading to more severe problems if not addressed quickly.
Age-Related Stucco Wear
As stucco ages, it becomes more brittle and prone to cracking. Regular maintenance of older homes can prevent further deterioration and prolong the lifespan of your stucco exterior.
Poor Installation
Improperly applied stucco is more likely to fail prematurely. At Earl’s Paintworks, we ensure all stucco is applied correctly, so your home or business is well-protected.
Types of Stucco We Work With
We are experienced in working with various types of stucco, offering solutions for both residential and commercial stucco applications.
Traditional Stucco
Made from cement, lime, and sand, traditional stucco offers a classic appearance and is highly durable when maintained.
Acrylic Stucco
Acrylic finishes are more flexible and resistant to cracking, making them an excellent option for modern stucco projects. They come in a variety of colours and provide superior moisture resistance.
EIFS (Exterior Insulation & Finish System)
EIFS offers the added benefit of insulation, making it a popular choice for energy efficiency in homes and businesses. We can repair and install EIFS for your property.
Benefits Of Stucco Repairs
Regular stucco maintenance provides several benefits, from protecting your home to enhancing its appearance.
Protect Your Home’s Structural Integrity
Damaged stucco allows moisture to seep in, potentially leading to more severe damage like wood rot. Timely stucco repairs protect the structural integrity of your home or business.
Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal
Stucco repairs and stucco painting can significantly improve your home’s appearance, boosting its curb appeal and resale value.
Cost-Effective Solution
Stucco repairs are a more affordable option than a complete reinstallation, providing a long-term fix that preserves your property without a hefty price tag.
Preventing Stucco Damage
With proper care, your stucco can last for decades. Here are a few tips to keep your stucco surfaces in top condition:
Regular Maintenance
Inspect your stucco regularly to catch small issues before they become bigger problems. Small cracks are much easier (and cheaper) to fix than large-scale damage.
Proper Drainage Systems
Ensure your home has proper drainage to prevent water from pooling near the foundation or getting trapped behind stucco walls.
Repainting & Sealing
Every few years, consider repainting your stucco and applying a sealant to maintain its durability and keep it looking fresh.
