Stucco is a durable, versatile, and attractive exterior finish, ideal for both homes and commercial buildings. However, in the Pacific Northwest, stucco faces unique challenges due to the region's heavy rains, strong winds, and high moisture levels.

​

At Petrus Stucco and Masonry, we understand these challenges and use superior products tailored to protect your building. Our stucco systems are designed to withstand the harsh Pacific Northwest climate, ensuring long-lasting protection and beauty.

 

In the early 2000s, many in the Pacific Northwest became wary of stucco due to issues with EIFS Dryvit systems, which often led to moisture damage. However, with the right approach, stucco remains a highly effective and attractive option.

​

A quality stucco system for the Pacific Northwest includes:

• Waterproofing & Rainscreen Membrane: Keeps moisture out and allows walls to breathe.

• Metal Lath: Provides a sturdy foundation.

• Scratch & Brown Coats: Ensures a solid base.

• Acrylic Basecoat & Elastomeric Finish: Offers flexibility, strength, and a beautiful finish.
