"Carolyn î î ¸ î ¸ î ¸ î ¸ î ¸ just now NEW For serious carpentry -- cedar siding replacements & repairs, window ledges given new PVC replacments, deckboard replacements & repairs and new deck stain job plus new oil primer, and new Paint with Sherwin Williams Latitude, I would give Sam & his crew plus Vini & his painting crew outstanding 5 star rating. Sal Ferreira who oversaw the whole Project and his crew members did things the right way. Pre-Primed cedarsiding was used and other areas scraped to the bare wood were also oil primed before 2 coats of Latex Latitude was applied to the body of the house, as well as exterior window and door frames & doors using 2 coats of Sherwin Williams Emerald High Reflective Gloss White after they were also primed, sanded, and then painted the right way. First time ever this has been done the RIGHT WAY. PLUS, they protected all the windows from any spray painting, roller painting, and brush painting done too, the RIGHT WAY. Clearly, they paid attention to detail. And 12 window ledges were replaced with permanent White PVC to stop future water damage problems of rot to the wood sections framing the outside windows. And PVC also permanently replaced the garage door woodsiding uprights that were splitting from snow and water damage done over the past 18 years. The attention to detail these men have is amazing!!! They did a phenomenal job and still did outstanding work in an intense 4 day heatwave. Did keep them well supplied with fresh Frozen Spring Water bottles which they could apply to their necks to stay cool and drink it once it was drinkable. Out of 4 different painting crews over the years, RP PRO Painting & Contracting clearly are the best. When few areas needed touchup, Sal pointed it out to them and it got done right! They worked on the home and did the right repairs and overall painting as if it were their own home, garage, & deck being worked on. THANK YOU for doing such a phenomenal job!! Even our family dogs were impressed and love the new look along with those who have seen you work done here. MANY THANKS and God Bless you."

Start with a deep clean—most pros use a pressure washer to blast away dust and chalk. Patch cracks with masonry caulk, let them cure, then roll on an acrylic primer. Finish with two coats of high-quality exterior paint using a roller or, better yet, an airless sprayer for even coverage. Skip brushes on broad stucco walls; they’re slow and leave streaks.
Fresh paint seals hairline cracks, boosts UV resistance, and gives curb appeal an instant lift—often a plus when it’s time to sell. The trade-offs? Stucco requires a full cure before painting; the job is labor-intensive, and the wrong coating can trap moisture. Budget accordingly and use paint specifically designed for masonry to avoid peeling later.
When estimating the amount of paint you’ll need for a stucco house, plan on double the paint you’d use for smooth siding. A gallon that covers 400 square feet of flat wall often coats only about 200 square feet of textured stucco, so a 2,000-square-foot exterior may need 10 to 15 gallons.
Painting your stucco wall is a proven alternative to the expense and disruption of re-stuccoing the entire exterior. It refreshes the appearance and protects the surface without the investment of new material. Using high-quality, weather-resistant paint and following correct preparation procedures prevents moisture retention and ensures long-lasting performance. This method offers an efficient means to update your home while maintaining durability.
Rollers work, but an airless sprayer is the gold standard for full exteriors—it gets paint deep into the texture and speeds up the job. Reserve brushes for tight trim only. Whichever tool your exterior painting pro chooses, they’ll keep a wet edge and apply two thin coats for the longest-lasting finish.
