What's included

Every stucco job. Every time. Repair before paint.

The reason most stucco repaints fail in two years is the painter skipped crack repair. We don't. Repair, recaulk, prime, then paint — in that order, on every house.

Inspection + crack mapping

Walk every elevation. Photograph hairline, stress, and settlement cracks. Identify root causes before pricing.

Crack repair (hairline + structural)

Chase out hairline cracks. V-groove larger settlement and stress cracks at corners, windows, and openings.

Elastomeric stucco patch

Fill cracks with elastomeric stucco patch matched to existing texture — sand-float, dash, smooth, or knockdown.

Recaulking around openings

Replace failed caulk around windows, doors, and expansion joints with high-grade elastomeric sealant.

Pressure wash prep

Pressure wash to strip chalk, dirt, and mildew from the stucco face. 48 to 72 hours of dry time before primer.

Masonry / bonding primer

Tinted masonry primer over patches and chalky areas — locks down powder and prevents flashing in topcoat.

Two coats elastomeric or acrylic

Benjamin Moore or Dulux exterior masonry paint — elastomeric for crack-bridging, acrylic for cleaner texture.

1-year written warranty

Peeling, blistering, premature failure, or new cracks at our patches — we come back and fix it. Written, signed.

Paint products

Benjamin Moore. Dulux. Built for stucco.

We specify by stucco condition and exposure, not by price. You see exactly which masonry product is going on which elevation before the first coat.

Benjamin Moore

Our primary masonry line

We use Benjamin Moore for most stucco work in North Bay. Their exterior elastomeric and 100% acrylic masonry coatings handle Northern Ontario freeze-thaw, bridge hairline cracks, and resist UV chalking on south and west exposures.

Exterior elastomeric coating — flexes through freeze-thaw, bridges hairline cracks up to 1/16"
Aura Exterior — premium 100% acrylic, lifetime warranty, on sound stucco
Regal Select Exterior — workhorse acrylic for traditional and acrylic stucco
Bonding / masonry primer — locks down chalk and patches before topcoat

Dulux

Our secondary masonry line

Dulux is our second specification line — used on commercial stucco facades, multi-tenant buildings, and projects where the owner has a Dulux color locked in. Easy local sourcing through North Bay supply, strong Weathershield-class exterior masonry options.

Diamond Exterior — premium acrylic, scrubbable, hides faded patches well
Weathershield-class exterior masonry — value-tier exterior masonry coating, commercial workhorse
Acrylic block filler / primer — tinted base coat for chalky stucco and EIFS
Elastomeric masonry coating — crack-bridging topcoat for older traditional stucco

A selection of what North Bay homeowners have said about our stucco work.

Hairline cracks all over our 1970s stucco bungalow. Ahmed walked the whole house, mapped every crack, and showed us exactly what was settlement vs. cosmetic. Patched, primed, two coats of elastomeric. House looks new and not a single crack has come back.

Margaret C.

North Bay · Traditional stucco

EIFS on our commercial building was delaminating in two corners. The crew re-embedded mesh, blended the texture, and recoated the whole front. You cannot tell where the repair ended and the original started. Done over a long weekend with zero disruption.

Ryan K.

North Bay · EIFS commercial

Sun-faded south wall, badly patched windows from a previous painter. They tinted the masonry primer to the new color, did three coats on the south face, recaulked every window. The whole house finally matches and the patches disappeared.

How much does stucco repair and painting cost in North Bay?

Stucco work in North Bay is quoted by scope. Section repairs — a few hairline cracks, a damaged corner, recaulking around a window — typically run $300 to $1,500. A full stucco repaint with crack repair, recaulking, masonry primer, and two coats of elastomeric or acrylic exterior masonry paint typically runs $4,000 to $12,000+ depending on home size, height, prep, and stucco type. EIFS (synthetic stucco) and three-coat traditional cementitious stucco price similarly. Every estimate includes pressure washing as a prep step, elastomeric crack patching matched to existing texture, recaulking around windows and doors, masonry primer, two coats of Benjamin Moore or Dulux exterior masonry paint, and a 1-year written warranty on workmanship.

Can you fix stucco cracks before painting?

Yes — crack repair is the foundation of every stucco repaint we do. Painting over open cracks just locks moisture in and the crack telegraphs through within a year. We chase out hairline cracks with a knife to open them up, V-groove larger settlement and stress cracks at corners and openings, then fill with elastomeric stucco patch matched to the existing texture — sand-float, dash, smooth, or knockdown. Ahmed personally inspects every crack repair before any primer goes on. Larger structural cracks are flagged for the homeowner before we proceed — sometimes the right answer is a contractor referral, not paint.

What's the difference between elastomeric and regular paint for stucco?

Elastomeric is a thick, rubber-like masonry coating that stretches and bridges hairline cracks up to about 1/16 inch wide — it stays flexible through freeze-thaw cycles instead of splitting. Regular acrylic exterior paint is thinner, breathes more freely, gives a cleaner aesthetic, and shows the stucco texture better, but it does not bridge cracks. We recommend elastomeric on older traditional stucco with a history of hairline cracking, and acrylic exterior masonry paint on newer stucco or EIFS where the substrate is sound. Benjamin Moore and Dulux both offer exterior elastomeric and acrylic masonry lines — we specify by condition, not by brand preference.

How long does stucco painting take?

A typical full stucco repaint takes 5 to 10 working days. Day 1 is inspection and crack mapping. Days 2 to 3 are crack repair, recaulking, and texture matching on patches — patches need 48 to 72 hours to fully cure before paint. Day 3 to 4 is pressure washing to strip chalk, dirt, and mildew, then 24 to 48 hours of dry time. Day 5 is masonry primer over patches and chalky areas. Days 6 to 9 are two full coats of elastomeric or acrylic, brushed and rolled. Day 10 is walkthrough and warranty. Weather adds buffer — we never paint over wet stucco or in temperatures outside the manufacturer's spec.

Will the new paint cover old patches and color differences?

Yes, with the right system. Two coats of premium elastomeric or acrylic masonry paint over a properly tinted masonry primer will fully hide old patches, sun-faded sections, and previous color repairs. The trick is the primer step — chalky and patched stucco soaks paint unevenly without it, so sheen and color come out blotchy. We tint the primer toward the topcoat color so any thin spots don't flash. For dramatically faded south and west exposures, we sometimes apply a third coat on those elevations at no extra charge. Color-matching to your existing stucco is also available — we send chips to Benjamin Moore or Dulux for a custom match.
