Picking out a stucco style for your house is kind of like choosing the right pair of boots—you want something that looks awesome, feels good, and works for where you’re at. In Colorado Springs, with its mix of modern condos, historic bungalows, and mountain retreats, stucco’s a fantastic choice because it can do it all. At Colorado Springs Stucco, we’ve helped folks from all over town find their perfect look, and I’m here to guide you through the options to make your home stand out.
So, what’s a stucco style? It’s the texture and vibe of the finish—smooth and slick, bumpy and rustic, or something in between. Each one gives your home a different personality and handles our local weather a bit differently. Let’s talk about some favorites and how they fit in places like Fountain or Northgate.
Smooth stucco’s the sleek, city-slicker option. It’s clean and modern, perfect for newer homes or anyone who loves a polished look. You see it a lot in areas like Wolf Ranch, where folks want their houses to feel fresh and contemporary. It catches the light just right, making your home glow under our bright skies. The catch? It shows bumps or cracks more, so we take our time prepping and applying it to get it perfect. It’s also great for keeping your house insulated.
Then there’s the sand finish, which is gritty and laid-back, like a day at the beach. It’s a hit for ranch homes or mountain-style places up near Black Forest. The texture hides little dings, which is handy when hail’s in the forecast. We did a sand finish for a family in Security-Widefield, and they loved how it tied their home to the desert vibes of their xeriscaped yard. It’s low-maintenance and blends right in with our rocky landscapes.
If you want something with a bit more soul, the lace finish is where it’s at. It’s got this hand-crafted, slightly lumpy look that feels warm and lived-in. You’ll spot it on older homes in Manitou Springs, where that artisan charm fits right in. Lace hides wall flaws like a pro and holds up great against our freeze-thaw cycles. We mix it just right to make sure it stays put for the long haul.
Color’s a big deal, too. Stucco can be any shade you dream up—think sage green to match the foothills or a crisp white to pop in Briargate. We use pigments that won’t fade under our intense sun, so your home stays bold. When we meet, we’ll bring color charts and samples to help you nail the perfect hue for your vibe and neighborhood.
One thing to think about is upkeep. Smoother finishes might need a quick wash to stay crisp, while rougher ones like lace don’t mind a bit of dust but can catch it in windy spots. We’ll lay out what each style needs so you can pick what fits your life. A client in Peyton went with sand because they wanted something they barely had to touch, and they’re still raving about it.
