FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Stucco and synthetic finishes are porous and can be damaged by high-pressure water. Our professional washing and refurbishment service removes grime and salt buildup safely, ensuring the structural integrity of the finish remains intact without blowing out the surface.

You should repair any visible cracks immediately to prevent moisture from reaching the substrate. Simply painting over a crack won't seal the entry point. Auggies Stucco and EIFS Systems specializes in patching these gaps before applying a fresh finish.

EIFS acts as a continuous insulation blanket for your exterior. By layering insulation board with a durable synthetic finish, we eliminate thermal bridging. Our experience at Auggies Stucco and EIFS Systems shows this significantly reduces heating and cooling costs.

Stucco needs to "breathe" to allow moisture vapor to escape. Using the wrong paint can trap moisture, leading to bubbling or delamination. We use specific coating systems designed to bond with traditional and synthetic stucco surfaces for long-term durability.

When properly installed and maintained, traditional stucco can last over 50 years. It is exceptionally durable against the extreme weather found in Lubbock and Amarillo. Regular cleaning and timely crack repairs are essential to maximizing that lifespan.

Costs depend on the depth of the damage and whether the underlying insulation board in the EIFS system is compromised. Auggies Stucco and EIFS Systems recommends a thorough inspection to determine if you need a simple patch or a full-thickness refurbishment.

EIFS offers a classic Southwestern look combined with superior impact resistance and color versatility. It provides a lightweight, energy-efficient solution that holds up well against the intense sun and wind common in the Lubbock and Amarillo regions.

Traditional stucco is a cement-based plaster applied over lath, while EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) is a multi-layered synthetic finish that includes an insulation board. At Auggies Stucco and EIFS Systems, we install both based on your property's insulation needs.

Synthetic stucco is ideal if you want higher energy efficiency and more flexibility to prevent hairline cracking. Traditional stucco is often preferred for its extreme hardness and classic texture. We help you choose the best system for your specific structure.

We first clean away years of grime and environmental buildup. After the surface is prepped, we address any structural cracks or chips. Finally, we apply a fresh finish or paint touch-up to restore the original beauty of the siding.
