Siding tops off the style of your home’s exterior, but with the vast selection of options available, it can be difficult to choose one look. If you’re looking for a customized style, stucco, a material made from cement, sand, lime, and water, is a popular way to produce unique wall textures. Below are a few of the benefits of using stucco work to transform the exterior of your home.

3 Advantages of Stucco Siding

1. Maintenance

Stucco is a low-maintenance siding option because unlike materials such as wood, it does not need to be repainted or re-coated every few years to ensure durability. If your home’s stucco work becomes dirty, simply power wash it to restore it to its original condition. 

2. Energy-Efficiency

Stucco is made of several layers of cement and lime, which increases the R-value, or insulation efficiency, of your walls. If you live in a cold or hot climate, stucco can reduce the transfer of outside temperature, significantly reducing the energy your HVAC system consumes to regulate your indoor climate. Not only does this maximize the lifespan of your HVAC unit, but also reduces your monthly utility costs.

3. Customization

Stucco can have textures that are smooth, pebbled, swirled, or course, and made of any color. Textures are created through the use of various tools, such as a stiff brush to draw stripes, waves, or cross hatches, or a trowel to create groove indentations. With so many options, stucco work can be mixed to match any style of home exterior.
