Project Description
Sharpening the exterior of a beautiful Roswell home, Sharper Impressions Painting recently completed a stucco painting project that transformed the faded, weathered look into something bold and fresh. Over the course of three days, our team meticulously power-washed the surfaces, sealed cracks in the stucco, repaired divots, and replaced rotted wood with durable PVC boards. Using Sherwin-Williams 7068 Grizzly Gray for the body and Sherwin-Williams 6926 Lucky Green for the front door, we gave this home a long-lasting, high-performance finish that will stand up to the elements for years to come.
Background/Story:
This Roswell home had great potential but had started to show the signs of age. The stucco surface was chalky to the touch, and the exterior had been neglected for too long. The homeowner knew it was time for a change. They wanted to restore the beauty of their home, enhance its curb appeal, and ensure that it would hold up better against the varying Georgia climate.
When the homeowner contacted Sharper Impressions Painting, we knew exactly what needed to be done. We began with a thorough power wash to remove the chalky residue and any dust or decay that had built up over the years. This is a critical step in stucco painting, as it allows the paint to adhere properly and creates a smooth surface for the next layers of work.
Once the surface was clean, we moved on to repair the cracks and divots in the stucco. Using mortar, we patched these areas and ensured the stucco was solid and smooth. The trim boards around the windows had also rotted, so we replaced them with PVC boards—a rot-resistant material that will provide better longevity and withstand the local climate’s moisture and temperature fluctuations.
After completing the necessary repairs, we caulked and primed the surface before applying the finish. For the stucco painting, we used a high-performance paint specifically formulated for stucco. This paint’s flexibility allows it to expand and contract with the changing temperatures, preventing future cracks and keeping the home looking sharp for years. We also made sure to keep the clean lines between the body of the house and the trim sharp, ensuring that the bold contrast of Grizzly Gray and Lucky Green really stood out.
