Colorado Springs Stucco Contractors

If you’ve spent any time driving through Colorado Springs neighborhoods, you’ve probably noticed just how many homes feature stucco exteriors. It’s not a coincidence. Stucco is one of the best choices for Colorado’s climate, offering durability, weather resistance, and serious curb appeal. At Greg Unseth Painting & Exteriors, we’ve been helping homeowners and businesses across the Front Range with professional stucco installation, repair, and finishing for over 40 years.

Whether you’re ready to replace outdated siding with a fresh stucco exterior or need repairs on an existing finish, our team has the experience and craftsmanship to get it done right the first time.

Why Choose Stucco for Your Colorado Springs Home?

Stucco isn’t just a good-looking exterior finish. It’s a smart, long-term investment for Colorado homeowners. Unlike traditional siding, stucco doesn’t chip or peel, holds up to hail and harsh weather, and provides natural fire resistance. It’s also cement-based, which means it creates a seamless, water-resistant barrier around your home when applied correctly.

From a curb appeal standpoint, stucco offers a clean, modern look with a wide range of color and texture options to match your style. And because it’s so durable, you won’t be replacing it every time a Colorado hailstorm rolls through. Check out our exterior painting services to complement your new stucco finish.

The Stucco Installation Process

A typical stucco project on an average home takes between two and three weeks to complete. We handle all permitting and inspections and adhere to all state and regional building standards. Here’s what the process looks like from start to finish:

All windows, doors, and body trim are removed from the home. Double 60-minute moisture-barrier paper and 17-gauge lathe wrap all surfaces to be stuccoed, with a self-adhesive urethane sealer applied around all doors and windows. Weep screed is added to the bottom of the home for moisture drainage, and additional metal flashing is installed as needed. Two-inch by six-inch pop-outs are added around all window and door openings before the first inspection with the Regional Building Department.

Once the fiberglass-infused scratch coat is applied, a fiberglass mesh is added to minimize future cracking. The brown coat is then applied over the mesh. During the three-to-five-day cure phase, our painting crews handle all non-stucco surfaces such as trim, doors, and gutters.

For the finish coat, we use Total Wall Elastomeric Stucco by Sherwin Williams. Elastomeric stucco has changed the game in exterior finishes, providing superior moisture control and crack resistance that’s perfectly suited for Colorado’s demanding weather. It’s available in a variety of color and texture options to match your vision.

Once the project is complete and all final touches are done, scaffolding is removed, the property is fully cleaned, and a final inspection is completed by the Regional Building Department.

What is Stucco?

At its core, stucco is an exterior wall finish made from cement, sand, and limestone. When applied in multiple coats over an existing surface like siding or brick, it creates a solid, seamless coverage that protects against water intrusion, fire, and impact damage. It’s a time-tested material with a look that holds up beautifully over the years.

Is Stucco Affordable?

Stucco is an investment, but it pays for itself over time. In a market like Colorado Springs where hailstorms can damage traditional siding on a regular basis, stucco’s durability makes it a cost-effective long-term choice. We also offer a three-part payment tier and additional financing options to make your stucco upgrade as manageable as possible.

Stucco Repair in Colorado Springs

Even the best stucco finish can develop minor cracks or blistering over time. When that happens, it’s important to address repairs quickly before small issues turn into bigger problems. Our team at Greg Unseth Painting & Exteriors has been handling stucco repairs for Colorado Springs homeowners for decades. Most repairs are straightforward, and with proper maintenance, your stucco finish can last a lifetime.

Limited Lifetime Stucco Warranty

We stand behind every stucco project we complete. Our Limited Lifetime Warranty covers uneven fading, chipping, peeling, and cracking wider than 1/8 inch for as long as you own your home. We’ll supply all materials and labor to make it right, no questions asked.

It’s important to note that hairline cracking is not covered under this warranty. While we take every precaution available to prevent it, factors like foundation structure and ground conditions can contribute to hairline cracks over time. All cracks can be repaired, and we offer upgrade options with a two-coat Elastomeric finish for additional protection. This warranty applies exclusively to our Elastomeric hard coat stucco system with fiberglass mesh inlay.
