Stucco Repair and Application in Toronto
Stucco covers many Toronto homes, from postwar bungalows to modern infill and interior feature walls. It is durable when detailed well, but cracks keep coming back when moisture intrusion is not fixed first.
Stucco Systems
| System | Layers | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional three-coat | Scratch coat, brown coat, finish over metal lath | Durable exteriors, breathable walls |
| Acrylic finish | Base coat with mesh plus acrylic finish | Colour range, flexibility |
| Elastomeric coating | Flexible coating over existing stucco | Bridging hairline cracks |

Why Stucco Cracks Return
Patch the cause, not just the crack
Most recurring cracks start where water gets behind the stucco: window sills, roof-wall junctions and missing control joints. We find and fix the source before we patch and recoat.
Stucco and foundation parging use similar materials, and we often match them. For interior seamless finishes, see microcement.
Stucco repair is part of the exterior work our Toronto masonry team does, and every quote comes on letterhead within 24 hours of the site visit.
