Stucco and Siding

Stucco and Siding for NYC Buildings

Stucco is a cladding and a weather barrier at the same time, which is why a small crack in it turns into a wet wall faster than people expect. We apply, patch and finish stucco on exterior walls, rear elevations, rooftop bulkheads and parapets, and install siding where that is the better answer. The finish matters, but what keeps the wall dry is what happens underneath it.

Why Choose Us

Why Choose Best Valana

Prepared, Not Painted Over

Loose material comes off, the substrate gets sorted out, and only then does new stucco go on. Anything else delaminates.

Matched Finishes

Smooth, sand and knockdown finishes matched to the surrounding wall so a patch blends instead of standing out.

Any Elevation

Rear walls, party walls, rooftop bulkheads and parapets, worked from scaffold or a suspended rig where there is no other access.

Interior Work Too

Interior plaster and stucco repair, including the ceilings and walls that came apart because of a leak you have since fixed.

Our Process

Our Process

1

Assess the Wall

We sound the existing stucco to find what is still bonded and what has to come off.

2

Prep

Remove failed material, repair the substrate and lath, install trim and control joints where they belong.

3

Apply

Scratch, brown and finish coats, worked to match the texture of the surrounding wall.

4

Cure and Seal

Proper cure time, then sealing and finishing at every edge and penetration.
