Toronto Exterior Stucco installs, repairs, and restores all three major stucco systems — three-coat, one-coat, and acrylic stucco — for residential and commercial properties across Toronto and the GTA, backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Stucco is the core trade of our business. We install, repair, restore, and refinish exterior stucco on residential and commercial properties across Toronto and the GTA, using the system that best suits the substrate, climate, and your project.
on new builds and full re-clads, using traditional three-coat, one-coat, or acrylic stucco systems.
for cracks, impact damage, delamination, and water infiltration. Existing finishes colour-matched and re-textured to blend in.
on older walls that are still structurally sound. A lower-cost alternative to full replacement when the substrate is intact.
including arches, quoins, columns, window trims, and accent banding.
Three distinct stucco systems are used in Ontario residential and commercial work. We install all three. The right system for your project depends on the substrate, climate exposure, design intent, and budget. We recommend based on what fits, not what we prefer to sell.
The traditional Portland cement stucco system applied in three layers: a scratch coat, a brown coat, and a finish coat, over galvanized metal lath and a weather-resistant barrier. The most durable of the three systems, with a track record of 50+ years on properly installed walls. Best for new construction, full exterior re-clads, and heritage matching.
| Lifespan | 50+ years |
| Best for | New builds, re-clads, heritage |
| Weight | Heavy |
A proprietary blend of cement and fibres applied in a single base coat over a rigid foam insulation board and lath, followed by a finish coat. Lighter, faster to install, and meets continuous insulation requirements under current energy codes. Common in production residential builds and commercial projects where energy performance and schedule matter.
| Lifespan | 30-50 years |
| Best for | Energy-coded builds, schedule |
| Weight | Light |
An acrylic-polymer finish applied over a cement base coat. More flexible than traditional cement finishes, with better resistance to hairline cracking from thermal movement. Available in 300+ colours and 12+ textures, including sand, swirl, smooth, and faux stone finishes. Often specified on modern designs where colour stability and crack resistance matter.
| Lifespan | 30-50 years |
| Best for | Modern designs, colour |
| Finishes | 300+ colours, 12+ textures |
Stucco is one of the few exterior finishes where you can build architectural detail directly into the cladding. We fabricate and install:
Mouldings and details are included in the main project scope, not added as an add-on after the walls are done.
Older stucco is rarely "all-or-nothing." Most exterior stucco that looks tired from the street is repairable or recoatable for a fraction of the cost of full replacement. Here's how we assess existing stucco at the on-site visit:
Cracks under ⅛", impact spots, sections of water damage around a single penetration. We patch, colour-match, and re-texture.
Aged, faded, or widely hairline-cracked finishes on otherwise intact walls. A new finish coat over the existing wall, often with acrylic to add flexibility.
Weather barrier compromised, system delaminating from the wall, or substrate damage too deep to patch. Full removal and reinstallation of a new stucco system.
We give you the honest assessment, not the most expensive one.
