Stucco & Blockwork

Traditional three-coat stucco systems provide exceptional durability and weather resistance for Upstate New York's demanding climate. We apply scratch coats, brown coats, and finish coats using quality materials and proper techniques. Our stucco work includes proper lath installation, control joints to prevent cracking, and attention to thickness and curing that ensure long-lasting performance. We offer various finish textures from smooth to heavily textured, in colors that complement your architecture.

Synthetic stucco and EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems) combine insulation with decorative finishes, improving energy efficiency while creating attractive exteriors. We install EIFS systems with proper drainage, flashing, and moisture management details that prevent water infiltration issues. Modern EIFS systems offer excellent performance when properly installed, and our experience ensures correct application.

Stucco repair restores damaged exterior surfaces to excellent condition. We repair cracks, patch damaged areas, address water damage, and re-coat deteriorated stucco. Our repairs match existing textures and colors, blending seamlessly with surrounding surfaces. We identify and address underlying causes of stucco damage including moisture infiltration, foundation movement, and improper original installation.

Foundation block work provides solid bases for additions, garages, and new construction. We lay foundation block with attention to waterproofing, drainage, and structural requirements. Our foundation work meets code requirements and provides the stable base needed for quality construction above.

Interior block walls serve various purposes including basement partitions, utility walls, and architectural features. We install block with proper ties to existing structures, insulation as needed, and appropriate finishes. Interior block provides fire resistance, sound dampening, and structural strength.
