Choosing AVR Stucco for your new installation means partnering with experts who prioritize material quality, technical precision, and enduring results, ensuring your home or business stands out and stands strong for decades.

The Technical Edge: Our Proven Stucco Installation Process

To achieve a perfect, lasting finish, the stucco installation process requires rigorous adherence to technical standards—especially concerning moisture management. We don't cut corners; our meticulous, step-by-step approach guarantees a professional result every time, whether we are working on a new custom home in Vaughan or a commercial plaza in Mississauga.

1. Preparation and Moisture Barrier Installation

The crucial first step is protecting your building's envelope. We prepare the wall surface and install a continuous, high-quality water-resistive barrier (WRB), often including a secondary drainage plane. This system is non-negotiable for preventing water penetration and managing condensation, ensuring the long-term health of your structure in the unpredictable Ontario climate.

2. Lath and Flashing

We then secure the metal lath or wire mesh (for traditional stucco) or the rigid foam insulation (for EIFS) to the substrate. Proper flashing around windows, doors, and rooflines is meticulously installed to direct any moisture outward, away from the wall assembly. This attention to detail is the difference between a beautiful installation and a high-cost failure years down the road.

3. Base Coat and Reinforcement

• Traditional Stucco: We apply a cement-based "scratch coat" and a "brown coat" (or leveling coat) that cure slowly to achieve maximum strength.

• EIFS: A specialized, cement-reinforced base coat is trowelled over the rigid insulation boards, embedding a fiberglass mesh that provides superior impact resistance and crack prevention.

4. Priming and Finish Coat Application

Finally, the aesthetic layer. We apply a specialized primer followed by the high-performance finish coat. This coat is customized to your exact specifications, including:

• Texture: From smooth and modern (Trowel finish) to traditional and rugged (Dash or California finish).

• Colour: Using premium, fade-resistant pigments to ensure a vibrant and lasting colour that compliments your property's design.
