What Are the Benefits of Installing Stucco?
Stucco is a smart investment for long-term durability and performance, especially in Vancouver’s wet coastal climate. This exterior finish acts as a protective shell for your property, shielding it from the elements while improving its appearance and value.
Some of the main advantages include:
- Weather resistance: Stucco stands up well to rain, wind, and UV exposure, making it ideal for Vancouver buildings.
- Low maintenance: Once installed, stucco requires minimal upkeep compared to wood or vinyl siding.
- Fire resistance: Stucco is a non-combustible material that adds a layer of fire protection to your property.
- Noise reduction: The density of stucco helps dampen outside noise, giving you a quieter indoor environment.
- Energy efficiency: When paired with proper insulation, stucco helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures.
To maximize these benefits, we rely on proven installation methods that help your stucco withstand Vancouver’s challenging weather year-round.
How Long Does Stucco Last on a Building?
A professionally installed stucco exterior often lasts 50 years or more with proper care. Its longevity is one of the main reasons property owners across Vancouver choose stucco as a siding solution.
The secret to its durability lies in expert installation and proper care. At Sunrise Painting & Stucco Ltd, we deliver a solid foundation and seamless finish that stands the test of time.
To maintain its appearance and prevent premature wear, we recommend routine inspections and occasional touch-ups, including professional washing, to keep your exterior looking its best for decades.
Does Stucco Add Insulation to a Home?
Stucco naturally provides an extra layer of insulation for your home, helping to keep indoor temperatures more stable throughout the year.
If you pair stucco with an Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS), it takes energy efficiency to the next level by adding more insulation. This combination can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs, making your home more comfortable and saving you money in the long run.
Can Stucco Be Installed Over Brick or Wood Siding?
Stucco can be applied over brick, wood, or other types of siding with the right preparation. To ensure a strong bond, a metal lath is installed over the existing surface, followed by a base coat that creates a sturdy foundation for the stucco. This process helps the stucco adhere properly and ensures a durable, long-lasting finish.

What Are the Most Popular Stucco Textures?
One of the best features of stucco is its customization. With different textures, you can choose a finish that perfectly matches your home's style.
Some of the most popular stucco textures include:
- Smooth finish for a modern look
- Sand finish with fine or coarse grit
- Lace finish for traditional styles
- Dash finish for a speckled, rough look
- Skip trowel finish for a unique, hand-applied pattern
We can help you select a stucco texture that enhances your home's design.
Can You Customize the Colour of Stucco?
Yes, stucco can be tinted in a wide range of pre-mixed colours or painted after it cures. Whether you want a soft neutral or a bold modern tone, we'll help you choose a finish that suits your style and environment.
No matter your colour choice, we use high-quality, fade-resistant materials designed to hold up beautifully in Vancouver’s changing climate.
How Long Does Stucco Installation Take?
Stucco installation times can vary depending on your property’s size, chosen finish, and the season. Damp conditions in Vancouver may slightly extend drying times, especially between coats. That said, our team is well-versed in stucco application methods and knows how to complete projects efficiently while delivering professional results.
Can Exterior Stucco Be Painted After Installation?
Exterior stucco can be painted once it has fully cured, which usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks. Painting your stucco is a great way to refresh its look or even change the colour to better match your style.
It's a good idea to use elastomeric paint because it can stretch with the stucco surface. This helps cover small cracks and adds extra water resistance, giving your walls better protection against the elements while keeping them looking great.
