Your Trusted Stucco Contractor
Stucco is a material found in many older buildings and homes. Because stucco is absorbent, if the material gets too wet or remains wet for a period of time, the flashing can fail and the stucco will have to be repaired. Homeowners can avoid the hassle of stucco remediation following a failure and replace the surface with improved siding products.
