- Trenching to the foundation
- Masking and covering all areas subject to overspray
- Water blast (3500-4000 psi) or sand blasting to remove loose stucco and peeling paint
- If efflorescence is present, chemically treat the surface
- Repair stucco surfaces with cement patching compounds and water proofing cement as necessary
- Allow surfaces to dry at least 24 hours before application of primer and sealers
- Apply primer/sealer at rate of ¼ gallon per 100 square feet
- If efflorescence has been a problem, apply an efflorescence inhibiting masonry primer
- Allow primer and sealers to dry per manufacturer instructions
- Apply textured coatings at manufacturer recommended rate: approximately 2½ to 3 gallons per 100 square feet at approximately 500 psi to desired texture and pattern (if smooth: spray and back roll)

Textured Coating Warranties
Most manufacturer warranties are similar and contain some or all of the following:
 After elastomeric coating, vinyl replacement windows |
- Upon completion of texcoating application in accordance with the manufacturer recommendations, manufacturer will extend its limited residential or commercial warranty for product replacement as a result of defects in the material.
- Manufacturer must be notified prior to application of textured coating. Textured coating application must be in compliance manufacturer's recommended installation procedures.
- Manufacturer shall have no obligation to provide or participate in labor costs associated with effecting repairs.
- No particular maintenance is required, however, should the product become soiled, simply clean with light water pressure and mild detergent.
- If moisture sources or efflorescence is present, water sources must be located and eliminated prior to coating application. This is not the responsibility of the coating applicator but it is the responsibility of the property owner to do so. This work should be done by a general, building contractor.
Possible Sources of Moisture
 Before elastomeric coating, vinyl replacement windows |
- Missing or defective rain gutters and down spouts
- Improper grading of lot (soil, slab and walkways pitching toward the structure, allowing water to accumulate at the foundation)
- Leaking garden spigots or sprinklers spraying on the structure, accumulating at the foundation
- Improper lot drainage
- Moisture is generated by cooking and bathing, which works its way into the attic. If the attic is not properly ventilated, the moisture can eventually cause problems such as delaminating of roof sheeting, water streaking, staining, mold and mildew, dry rot and; flaking, peeling and bubbling paint on interior and exterior walls.
- There are other sources of moisture related conditions. For further information, contact us by e mail through this site or by telephone at (949) 645-2932.
