No, we strongly recommend against painting over existing stucco, especially in Utah's harsh climate. Painting can trap moisture within the stucco, leading to potential damage and cracks. Instead, we apply a new, durable skim coat using advanced materials and technology specifically designed to withstand Utah's weather extremes. This new stucco blend is far superior to past ingredients, offering:
- Enhanced moisture resistance: The specially formulated composition allows moisture to escape effectively, preventing internal build-up and protecting your home's structural integrity.
- Increased durability: This advanced stucco blend is formulated to handle the temperature fluctuations, UV rays, and occasional hail storms common in Utah, ensuring lasting beauty and performance for years to come.
- Improved flexibility: The modern formula offers greater flexibility, allowing it to adapt to natural building movement and seasonal shifts without cracking or compromising its protective barrier.
By applying this superior skim coat, you'll not only refresh your home's exterior but also invest in its long-term health and value. So, ditch the paint and embrace the benefits of a modern, Utah-ready stucco solution!
Home Exterior Rendering
The rendering process duration varies based on project complexity and revisions needed. Generally, it can take from a few days to a few weeks.
Typically rendering services include up to two revisions. Additionally, clients may have access to the rendering software to make minor adjustments themselves.
Through our software, users can visualize their property's exterior with different materials and colors. We offer recommendations or suggestions for enhancing the design based on industry trends or unique requests from homeowners. These renderings serve as a foundation for experimenting with design elements and making informed decisions about exterior improvements.
Our rendering software applies realistic textures, lighting effects, and shadows to create lifelike images of the building with siding, roofing, windows, and other exterior elements. While no rendering can perfectly replicate real-life conditions, our renderings provide a level of realism that helps homeowners, contractors, and insurance professionals visualize projects and make informed decisions.
Should a client choose to engage BH for work on their home, the cost of the rendering will be credited back to them. While we do not provide refunds for final renderings, it's important to note that these visualizations are crafted to provide realism, aiding homeowners in project visualization and decision-making. They are not intended as final architectural representations. This approach empowers homeowners to visualize their home, experiment with design, and receive a project estimate without obligation.
