Why Stucco?

With all these benefits, you'd be crazy to choose anything else!

Exceptional durability

Stucco is a robust and long-lasting material that can withstand various weather conditions that come our way here in Orinda (including rain, wind, and extreme temperatures) without deteriorating easily. The longevity of stucco compared to other house cladding systems speaks for itself. Stucco stands the test of time, as its proven methodology has been used as far back as 4000 BC with ancient Egyptians using a derivative of lime plaster.

Maintenance free finishes

With a maintenance free colored stucco finish, you will never need to paint or maintain the stuccoed portions of your home again, saving you significant money over time. This also creates a big selling point in Orinda if you plan to sell your home, giving you a solid return on your investment. Learn more about color coats here >>

Even more benefits…

Energy efficient

Stucco provides excellent insulation, helping to regulate indoor temperatures by keeping the home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. It may not freeze in Orinda, but it does get hot in the summer. This thermal barrier can lead to increased energy efficiency and reduced utility bills.

Fire resistant

This is a big one these days with the threat of wild fires and now insurance companies in even refusing to insure new homes! Stucco is fire-resistant! You get an extra layer of safety and protection, and additional time to put that fire out.

Drumroll, please.

And what Orinda homeowners care about most…

Stucco is cost effective

While the upfront cost of stucco may be higher, it is worth the investment. Its long-term durability, low maintenance, energy efficiency, and fire-resistant properties can make it a cost-effective choice for Orinda homeowners. If you ever sell your home, a modern stucco finish raises its value and can get you more money during selling time.

It's just plain gorgeous

Stucco allows homeowners to choose from a wide range of colors and textures to suit their desired style. Whether your style is more “old world charm” or something more modern, stucco lends a touch of elegance and sophistication to any Orinda home.

Stucco and plastering textures finishes

Plaster, applied in a plastic state, may create a great variety of design configurations or texture patterns. It has been a popular finish for most of history, and can be applied to all types of buildings: from single-family homes to high-rise structures. Since it lasts the lifetime of the building, redecoration is necessary only when a change in color is desired.
