This stucco painting project was completed on a custom home in the Vista Ridge neighborhood of Erie and took just under one week from start to finish. The scope focused on repairing cracked exterior stucco, sealing the surface, and updating the home’s color to a more modern look.

Over time, visible cracks had developed across the stucco, so this project went beyond a standard repaint. A heavy coat of masonry waterproofing was applied to help fill and seal those cracks before the new color was added. The home transitioned from a dated beige tone to a lighter gray finish that feels cleaner and more current. The total investment for this exterior painting project came in at $14,700, reflecting the repair work, waterproofing system, and full exterior repaint.

Background / Story:

Kim has been a long-time client, and this home has gone through several updates over the years. About two years ago, the exterior trim was repainted, but the stucco was left alone at the time. As the seasons passed, cracking became more noticeable, especially on sun-exposed walls.

That opened the door to a bigger conversation. Not just about repairing the stucco, but about updating the overall look of the home. Kim reviewed several color options and narrowed it down to a warmer gray that still felt inviting. The chosen color paired well with the existing trim and helped the home feel more modern without looking stark. This project also lined up nicely with interior updates, including bedroom painting and bathroom painting completed in earlier phases of the home.

Scope of Services:

• Exterior Stucco Painting: Repaired cracked stucco and applied a protective coating before repainting the full exterior.
• Waterproofing Application: Heavy application of masonry waterproofing coating to help seal and protect stucco surfaces.

Results:

The completed stucco painting project gave the home a fresh, updated exterior while also addressing long-standing surface issues. The lighter gray color softened the look of the home and worked well with the previously painted trim. Refinished light fixtures tied everything together and avoided the cost of replacing them. Kim was thrilled with the outcome and appreciated that the project solved a functional problem while improving curb appeal.
