The Mile High City is a gem in the western U.S. known for modern architecture, western flavor, and cutting edge technology. We respect life and each other, and admire beauty, whether our gorgeous Rocky Mountains we cherish or our beautiful communities. Western colors, finishes, and décor fill our homes and properties and reflect what we love, including the geology and climate in our area. We are proud to call Colorado home.

One of the nicest things about the area is driving around to enjoy the ambiance created by the tasteful and often utilitarian design of our homes and businesses. Often the exterior of those structures is covered in stucco, an exterior cladding that resembles stone. Durable, with a quality of handling light in all different settings, stucco works extremely well in the variable, sometimes challenging greater Denver area climate. It adds class and value to your property, is low maintenance, and simply looks great when done well.

In the kind of climate Denver enjoys, with the extremes in temperature and moisture, as well as occasional high wind, an exterior has to be tough. Stucco meets and exceeds that need for durability. Made of Portland cement, lime, sand, and water, stucco continues to cure over time, becoming harder and more resilient. Low maintenance, stucco can easily last more than 50 years on a home or business, and we know that stucco was used – and is still often present – on buildings thousands of years old in Ancient Rome, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, and other areas of the globe.

Weather resistant and insulating, stucco is also fire resistant. This is especially important in our region’s western mountain areas and elsewhere brush fires occur. While stucco is very weather resistant, it still breathes and provides good air exchange in your home, making the HVAC system work more efficiently. There is just a lot to like about stucco.

A craft for trained, experienced tradesmen, it is essential when hiring a stucco and plaster contractor that they are experienced. They need to be Colorado licensed contractors, and insured. Stucco is a challenging material to work with and get “right” and is not one most DIY folks should consider handling. Stucco is heavy and requires skill to mix and apply correctly. The textures and patterns achieved in both stucco and plaster take experience, a keen hand and eye, and artistic flair to make a finished beautiful presentation when done.

Stucco supplies Denver uses need to be formulated for our environment and the type of application. Stucco Denver Contractors uses El Paso stucco and other plaster and stucco supply Denver knows from years of experience work well with our weather and even ground and seismic activity. All supplies need to be chosen for your particular application. Whether it is traditional stucco, elastomeric that has fiber, acrylic, or polymers added for strength and “stretch”, a clay or polished plaster for specific application or total non-toxic and off-gassing purposes, or even a synthetic like EIFS, our knowledgeable team will discuss what we think is best when we provide our free quote for your job.
