Exterior Envelope Construction in DeSoto, TX

Stucco (cement plaster) offers versatile exterior finish suitable for many commercial building types. Properly applied over appropriate substrates with correct moisture management, stucco provides decades of service. Improper installation leads to moisture problems that damage buildings and require expensive remediation.

DeSoto Concrete Contractors executes stucco work following building science principles. Moisture management is critical - stucco systems must allow walls to dry while preventing water infiltration. We install complete wall systems including weather barriers, drainage planes, lath, and multiple stucco coats designed to work together.

Stucco applications for commercial buildings include building exterior cladding, architectural features and details, repairs and patching of existing stucco, column and beam wraps, parapet and wall caps, and renovation of stucco buildings.

Modern stucco systems include traditional three-coat over metal lath, one-coat systems over foam boards, synthetic EIFS systems, and specialty finishes. Each system has appropriate applications, advantages, and limitations. We match stucco system to building type, climate exposure, and performance requirements.
