Homeowners often wonder if their tired exterior walls are a good candidate for a fresh face. Stucco Redashing comes up all the time when homeowners want to wipe away years of fading, hairline cracking, or dated textures without tearing everything down to the studs.
What exactly is Stucco Redashing?
Infinite Stucco Solutions views Stucco Redashing as a major makeover for exterior walls in Draper, UT. Instead of a messy full tear-off, Infinite Stucco Solutions applies a fresh, thin finish coat or dash layer directly over your existing, structurally sound stucco. The process seals up minor imperfections, updates the color, and resets the clock on your home's curb appeal.
Can you redash over any old stucco surface?
Only if the base is solid. If your existing stucco is delaminating, shifting, or hiding severe moisture damage underneath, Stucco Redashing is a terrible idea. Infinite Stucco Solutions always inspects the walls first. If the foundation layer isn't bonded tightly to the lath, putting a new coat on top is just building on quicksand.
How does Draper's mountain climate affect the process?
Dry summers, intense UV rays, and heavy winter freeze-thaw cycles take a serious toll on exterior finishes, especially on exposed south- and west-facing walls. When Infinite Stucco Solutions redashes a home up near Traverse Ridge or down in the valley floor, our team factors in the altitude and temperature swings. Materials have to be mixed and cured carefully so the new Stucco Redashing coat doesn't dry too fast and crack in the dry mountain air.
Will the new finish match my neighborhood HOA standards?
Most local HOAs have strict guidelines about color palettes and texture profiles. Stucco Redashing actually solves this problem nicely because we can customize the new finish coat to match exact community requirements. Infinite Stucco Solutions always recommends getting color samples approved before we mix a single batch.
How long will a redashed stucco finish last?
When prep work is done right and the materials match our local weather conditions, a quality Stucco Redashing project easily lasts 15 to 20 years or more. Regular maintenance, like keeping gutters clean and checking sealant around windows and doors, goes a long way toward protecting the exterior of your Draper home.
Is redashing cheaper than a full stucco replacement?
Yes, significantly. Because you skip the labor-intensive demolition, disposal fees, and lath replacement, Stucco Redashing usually costs a fraction of a full-scale tear-off. For homes in Draper, UT, Stucco Redashing gives you the look and protection of a brand-new exterior without the heavy price tag.
