Questions about durability?

How can we increase longevity of our stucco?

Your home or business is a significant investment. The covering you use on the outside of it will contribute to the protection of the items on the inside. It is important to have a qualified, experienced professional perform the installation of stucco to your structure. With over 35 years of experience Foster’s team has the know how to do the job the right way, the first time! To increase the strength and durability of traditional stucco we recommend adding a Primus coat as well as a fiberglass reinforcement mesh to create a stronger bond between the layers of Stucco. While most companies don’t offer this because of the added time and effort we continuously try to offer better products to our customers that will be more durable and offer a longer life than traditional stucco normally has.
