Built to drain

What goes on the wall before the first coat

Hard coat stucco is durable, impact resistant and well suited to busy commercial elevations, but only when the layers under it are right. Most failures we repair on older buildings trace back to installation: a weather barrier lapped the wrong way, no weep screed at the base, control joints left out to save time, or lath fastened short of the framing.

On Peachtree City projects we start with the substrate. We confirm the sheathing, install a two-layer weather barrier lapped shingle-fashion, and flash openings and transitions so water drains out and down. Expanded metal lath is fastened into the framing, and accessories go on next: weep screed at the base, casing beads at openings, corner aids and control joints laid out to break the wall into panels that can move without cracking.

Then we apply the scratch coat, brown coat and finish, giving each coat its cure time and moisture. Rushing the cure is a reliable way to get shrinkage cracks, so we build realistic cure time into the schedule we give the general contractor. The finish can be a traditional sand texture or a smoother modern look, in a color selected for the building.

What goes into the wall

Every layer of a commercial stucco wall

A finished three-coat wall is a little under an inch thick, but it is built from six separate parts. Skip one and the others cannot make up for it.

Weather-resistive barrier

Barrier lapped top over bottom, so water that gets past the stucco runs down and out instead of into the sheathing.

Lapped like shingles

Metal lath

Self-furred lath fastened into the framing and held off the barrier, so the scratch coat wraps around it and locks in.

Fastened to framing

Weep screed & casing beads

A weep screed at the base lets water drain out; casing beads finish the edges at windows and storefronts with room for sealant.

Clear of grade & paving

Control & expansion joints

Joints break long elevations into panels and isolate floor lines, so building movement shows up at the joint instead of as random cracking.

Laid out before lath

Flashing & kick-outs

Head flashing over openings, parapet and coping details and kick-outs at roof-to-wall lines go in with the barrier, where they can be lapped correctly.

Where most leaks start

Three coats, properly cured

Scratch, brown and finish coats applied in sequence, with base coats kept damp and given time to cure before the next goes on.

No rushing the cure

Which project?

New buildings, additions and re-clads

On new construction we coordinate with the general contractor, framer, window and storefront installers and roofer so barrier and flashing go in in the right order. On an addition, the new wall has to tie into the existing stucco without a visible seam, which means matching texture and planning a joint where old meets new.

A re-clad is the biggest job, and on an occupied building it is planned elevation by elevation: the failed cladding comes off, we inspect and replace damaged sheathing, then install a complete new system before moving on. If the existing stucco is sound and the goal is a new look, a recoat or color change may be all the building needs.

Our process

How a commercial stucco wall is built

Three-coat stucco takes time because each coat has to cure. Much of the schedule is curing, not labor, and that time is what makes the wall last.

Review & prepare

We review drawings and joint layout, check the sheathing, install the weather barrier from the bottom up and integrate it with window, storefront and roof flashing.

Joint layout confirmed
Barrier lapped correctly
Kick-outs installed

Lath & accessories

Weep screed, casing beads, corner aids and control and expansion joints go on with the lath, fastened into the framing and laid out to suit each elevation.

Screed set above grade
Joints laid out by panel
Lath fastened to framing

Three coats & cure

The scratch coat is scored and kept damp, the brown coat is floated flat and allowed to cure, then the finish coat sets the specified texture and color.

Base coats moist-cured
Cure time between coats
Finish to the spec

Three-coat stucco for Peachtree City projects

Hard coat stucco suits the ground floors and entrances that take the most wear on Peachtree City commercial buildings.

On village center storefronts, restaurant pads along the highway corridors and multifamily ground floors near cart parking, the bottom of the wall takes bumps, splashing and constant foot traffic. Three-coat cement stucco handles that better than a thin finish over foam, which is why many projects use it at grade even when the upper floors are EIFS.

Georgia’s summer heat affects how stucco cures. We plan coats around the weather and keep fresh work damp enough to cure properly instead of baking dry in the afternoon sun.

Panels & joints

Control joints laid out to the building’s geometry so cracking is controlled.

Cure in the heat

Coats scheduled and moist-cured around Georgia summer temperatures.

Tough at grade

Hard coat at storefronts and entrances where walls take impacts and splash.

Questions & answers

Stucco installation FAQ for Peachtree City

Questions general contractors, developers and owners ask about new stucco in Peachtree City.

Does a new stucco facade in Peachtree City need design approval?

New commercial facades and color selections may go through the city’s appearance review as well as building permits. Check with the city early; we can supply finish samples and product information for your submittal.

How long does three-coat stucco take?

Each coat needs time to cure before the next goes on, and the overall schedule depends on wall area, weather and access. We give the general contractor a realistic sequence with the cure times built in.

Why are control joints necessary?

Cement stucco shrinks as it cures and moves with temperature. Control joints divide the wall into panels so that movement happens at a planned line instead of as random cracks.

Can you combine hard coat stucco with EIFS on the same building?

Yes. A common approach is hard coat at the ground floor and EIFS above. We detail the transition between the two systems so it sheds water and allows movement.

Can you work in a busy village center while it stays open?

Yes. We stage materials and mixing away from storefront entrances and cart paths, protect walkways, and clean up daily so neighboring tenants stay open.
