Stucco is one of the most durable exterior cladding systems available — when it's installed correctly. Modern stucco systems use foam insulation board, fibreglass mesh, and a multi-coat cement application to create an exterior shell that insulates, protects, and finishes your home in a single system.
We build stucco systems from the substrate up: foam board anchored and sealed, fibreglass mesh embedded in the base coat, brown coat applied and scored, finish coat matched to your chosen texture. Every layer has a proper cure window before the next is applied. No rushing, no cracking.
Ottawa's freeze-thaw cycle is one of the most demanding tests a stucco system can face. Temperatures routinely cross the freezing threshold dozens of times per season — and every crossing expands and contracts the substrate, the stucco layers, and any moisture that has worked its way in.
Improper installation creates the conditions for delamination: stucco that separates from the substrate in sheets, or cracks that open wide enough to allow bulk water entry. This isn't a cosmetic problem — it's a structural and moisture risk that compounds every winter.
Everlast's multi-coat process — with proper cure windows between each layer, correctly embedded fibreglass mesh, and scored control joints — interrupts the failure chain before it starts. The result is a stucco system that moves with your building rather than fighting it.
