Stucco gives a clean, seamless, low-maintenance look that suits everything from character homes to modern infill builds across Greater Vancouver. Done correctly for our climate, it is one of the most durable claddings available. Done the old way, it was at the centre of the region’s leaky-condo crisis, so the details matter more here than almost anywhere.
The fix the industry learned is drainage. We install stucco over a proper rainscreen: a water-resistive barrier, a vented cavity that lets the wall breathe, and lath that holds the coats off the sheathing. That cavity is what lets wind-driven rain drain away instead of soaking into framing and quietly rotting it over a wet coastal winter.
We handle full three-coat cement stucco as well as acrylic and elastomeric finish systems, with crack-resistant detailing at corners, control joints, and around every window and penetration. We also repair and re-clad failing older stucco, and we will give you a frank assessment of whether patching makes sense or the wall needs to come off and be rebuilt right.
