For those of you who have had your stucco repainted, A question: We have the option to paint our stucco with either an elastomeric paint (which is, from what I understand, a rubberized paint that is supposed to stick better on top of old stucco) or a good quality exterior latex paint.
I've been researching both, and while some folks recommend elastomeric paints for old stucco, others mention moisture retention issues down the road. Does anyone here have experience with elastomerics? At this point I am more than a little confused...
Thanks to all,
J
How much roughly does it cost to repaint the stucco and timber on a standard sized SO Tudor? Ballpark
There seems to be a trend around the country to paint the (usually) stucco and the half-timbering (usually not structural) in colors that hardly contrast at all, with especially light half-timbering. A friend of mine who works in architectural history says that, even if you like that, it's not historically correct. If you care about this, there should be a fair amount of contrast, with the darker color at least a medium slate gray, chocolate brown, or maybe moss green.
Agreed, most of the local Tudors are a yellow/white stucco with either dark brown, grecian blue or gray timber. How complicated/expensive is it to re-paint and restore these elements?
