Elastomeric Coating Application in Dayton, OH

Elastomeric Coating Application in Dayton

Elastomeric coating is a thick, flexible finish designed specifically for exterior stucco surfaces. Unlike standard paint, which can crack and peel under stress, this coating forms a rubber-like membrane that seals out moisture while allowing the stucco to breathe. The application process in Dayton begins with a careful inspection of the stucco to identify cracks, spalling, or areas where previous coatings have failed. We then power wash the entire surface to remove dirt, mildew, and chalky residue. After the wall dries, we repair any cracks or holes using a stucco patching compound that matches the texture. A specialized primer is applied next, which promotes adhesion and prevents the substrate from absorbing too much of the coating. Finally, the elastomeric coating is applied in two uniform coats, usually with a roller or airless sprayer, ensuring a consistent thickness of about 15 to 20 mils when dry. This thickness is critical — it allows the coating to bridge hairline cracks and flex with the building’s movement.

Dayton’s climate presents unique challenges for stucco. The region experiences high humidity, heavy rain, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles in winter. Ordinary paint quickly deteriorates under these conditions, leading to water intrusion that can damage the underlying stucco and even the structure itself. Elastomeric coating provides a durable solution. Its waterproofing ability prevents moisture from seeping into cracks, while its flexibility prevents new cracks from forming as the building expands and contracts with temperature swings. For historic properties in districts like the Dayton View Historic District or the Dayton Terra-Cotta Historic District, this coating helps preserve original stucco details without altering their appearance. For newer commercial buildings, it extends the life of the stucco and reduces maintenance costs. The application requires precise timing — the coating must be applied in dry weather above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and the stucco must be fully cured if new. We monitor weather conditions closely to ensure proper drying and curing.
