If you are planning to build a brand new home, stucco is an ideal choice for your exterior. After all, there is a reason builders have used this material for centuries. Worldgate Plaster & Stucco Company is locally-owned and -operated, and our skilled craftsmen have installed stucco on homes in northern Virginia for over 45 years. Here are three reasons you should consider a stucco exterior for your new home construction.

1. Stucco is Durable

Comprised mainly of cement, lime, water, and sand, these natural resources blend to create an exterior that is sturdy and durable. Keep in mind that these materials require expert craftsmen who have been trained and certified to properly mix and apply them. When it is correctly applied, stucco is more resistant to fire, pests, and weather elements than other siding options. Stucco is a great value and will deliver a return on your investment when professionally constructed, which is the very reason so many homeowners prefer it for their home’s exterior.

2. Stucco is Long-Lasting 

Exterior stucco wall construction withstands the test of time, which explains its widespread use throughout architectural history. It typically lasts longer than other siding materials, in addition to being easier and less expensive to maintain. Depending on the weather conditions and care, stucco can last well over 50 years if it’s properly constructed.

3. Stucco is Pleasing to the Eye

Stucco is completely customizable, and you can choose from a variety of texture and color options and combinations. The aesthetic appeal of stucco is another reason it has stood the test of time as a building material. Perhaps one of the best things about the beauty of stucco is that it’s eco-friendly since it is easily produced and consciously broken down to ensure a small carbon footprint.
