If you call Colorado Springs home, you know our weather’s a wild card. One minute it’s sunny and warm, the next you’re dodging hail or scraping ice off your windshield. Your house takes the brunt of it all, so you need an exterior that can keep up. That’s where stucco shines, and at Colorado Springs Stucco, we’ve seen it save homes from the worst Mother Nature dishes out. Let me walk you through why stucco’s the champ for protecting your place and how we make it happen.
Stucco’s like armor for your house. It’s made from cement, sand, lime, and a bit of water, mixed to form a rock-solid layer once it sets. Wood siding? It rots when it gets wet. Vinyl? It can crack when the temps plummet. Stucco? It just sits there, unbothered by the rain, snow, or wind we get around here. That’s a big deal when you’re dealing with Colorado Springs’ wet springs or dry, dusty summers. It keeps water out, so you’re not stuck fixing leaks or battling mold.
Hail’s another story—we all know those storms that roll in and wreak havoc. I’ve seen cars and cheap siding get dented to heck, but stucco holds its own. Its tough surface takes those hits without flinching. We’ve done jobs in places like Broadmoor and Cimarron Hills where hail pounded homes, and the stucco we put up didn’t have a scratch. Our trick? We mix and apply it with care, making sure it’s thick and strong enough to handle whatever comes.
Then there’s the sun. At our elevation, the UV rays are no joke—they’ll fade paint or fry flimsy materials in no time. Stucco’s built to take it. It doesn’t bleach out, and we can mix in special finishes to keep your color looking fresh for years. Whether you’re in Security-Widefield or up near Palmer Lake, we make sure your home’s exterior stays vibrant.
Stucco’s also a secret weapon for keeping your house comfy. It’s like an extra blanket, holding in heat when it’s freezing and keeping things cool when it’s sweltering. We’ve had folks in Stratmoor tell us their energy bills dropped after we installed stucco, especially with our EIFS option, which adds insulation for even more savings. In a place where you might run the heater and AC in the same week, that’s money in your pocket.
Here’s the thing: stucco’s only as good as the people putting it on. At Colorado Springs Stucco, we’re not just tossing it up there. We check your walls for weak spots, mix our materials to match our crazy climate, and layer it on with precision. From new homes in Falcon to fixer-uppers in Old Colorado City, we treat every job like it’s for our own family. That’s why our work lasts through decades of storms and sun.
And let’s talk upkeep—or the lack of it. Stucco’s a dream for anyone who’d rather enjoy a weekend at Red Rock Canyon than maintain their house. A quick rinse every year or two keeps it looking sharp, unlike wood that needs painting or brick that might need repointing. Our clients love how easy it is to keep their homes looking great.
