Professional Painting of Tampa Bay's Prep Work and Clean Up

One of the most important aspects of painting a stucco surface is careful prep work. This must be done to ensure your paint lasts. Our professional painters pay close attention to prep work to ensure the highest quality result.

Painting Your Stucco Interior and Exterior Surfaces

1. For exterior stucco walls, Professional Painting of Tampa Bay lightly power washes stucco surfaces of dirt and dust and gently scrubs away mildew with a stiff bristle brush. For interior walls, we may use a vacuum dusting attachment. If your walls have grease or grime or mildew build-up, we apply an appropriate cleaner. Depending on the weather and season in Palm Harbor we may need to allow 24 to 48 hours for walls and surfaces to dry before patching or priming.
2. Professional Painting of Tampa Bay preps walls by fixing small cracks and dings with masonry caulk. Due to the weather in Palm Harbor cracks on stucco walls larger than ⅛ inch-wide are common. For larger cracks, we remove any loose stucco with a putty knife and make repairs with a patching compound developed specifically for stucco.
3. Once the patching compound has dried, we prime stucco walls with a high-quality acrylic primer. In Palm Harbor's climate, acrylic primers adhere better to uneven stucco surfaces. Using a large, napped roller we force primer into the stucco's deep nooks and crevices.
4. Lastly, we apply a flat paint interior or exterior paint. Painting stucco usually requires twice the amount of paint used for painting conventional siding.

The painters at Professional Painting of Tampa Bay are very conscientious when caring for your home. We keep our work area clean and complete a full clean-up quickly after finishing every project.

Stucco Painting FAQs

How Often Should Stucco Be Painted?

Stucco should be painted every 5-10 years, depending on its condition. Factors that can affect how often stucco needs repairs and maintenance include climate, previous painting, and how well the home is maintained.

Should I Paint Over Stucco?

It's best to avoid painting over stucco because it can trap moisture and damage the stucco's performance and durability. Instead, we add new stucco over the existing finish to change the color.

How Can I Prepare Stucco for Painting?

Here are some tips for preparing stucco for painting:

• Allow new stucco to dry and settle for 60 days
• Pressure wash to remove dirt, chalky residue, and chipping paint
• Check for cracks
• Sand the stucco
• Prime the stucco
