When multi family stucco starts cracking, leaking, or delaminating, it can turn into repeated unit callbacks, tenant complaints, and rising maintenance costs. Superior Stucco St. Louis has served St. Louis since 2018 with full-scope installation and repair for apartments, condos, and mixed-use buildings.
Good multi family stucco starts with proper prep and a reliable base. We verify framing and sheathing condition, then install a code-appropriate water-resistive barrier (WRB), flashing, and weep screed so bulk water has a path out. Lath is fastened to spec, control joints are laid out to manage movement, and we apply scratch and brown coats at the right thickness with proper cure time before any finish work. For repair scopes, we cut back to sound material, remove failed lath, and rebuild the assembly instead of skim-coating over loose stucco.
In St. Louis, freeze-thaw cycles, wind-driven rain, and temperature swings punish exterior wall systems, especially around balconies, parapets, windows, and through-wall penetrations. We detail transitions with proper step flashing, head flashing with end dams, kick-out flashing where rooflines meet walls, and sealed expansion joints using backer rod and polyurethane sealant. Finish options include traditional cement plaster, acrylic finish coats, and elastomeric coatings when appropriate, with textures such as sand float, lace, skip trowel, or smooth trowel depending on the property style. Color and sheen are matched with jobsite samples, and we keep drainage planes and weep paths clear so the finish is not asked to do the waterproofing.
Owners, HOA boards, and property managers choose us because we run stucco projects like commercial work, with clear scopes, scheduling, and documentation. We are licensed and insured, and we provide free written estimates that break out elevation quantities, repair allowances, and finish selections so there are no surprises. Crews are equipped for multi-story access using pump rigs, scaffold, swing-stage coordination when needed, and dust control for occupied buildings. You get straight answers on what is cosmetic versus what is water-management failure, plus practical repair options that fit reserve budgets and tenant turnover timelines.
Before we call a job complete, we do a closing walkthrough to verify plane, texture consistency, clean termination lines, and proper water shedding at all flashings and penetrations. Repairs are blended to surrounding work as tightly as possible, and we document key areas like control joints, weep screeds, and sealant transitions so future maintenance is easier. You receive a written scope of work, product notes for finishes and coatings, and care guidelines for cleaning, sealant inspection intervals, and paint compatibility. If your property needs phased work, we map out building-by-building sequencing to keep access, parking, and entrances functional while we restore the exterior envelope.

Those areas need correct sequencing, lapped WRB layers, head flashing with end dams, kick-out flashing where required, and a clear drainage path to the weep screed. When moisture gets behind the cladding, you may see staining, efflorescence, cracking, bulging, or soft spots. Our approach is to locate the failure, remove compromised material, rebuild the base correctly, and then blend the finish so the repair is not obvious from the street.", "For new work, we manage the full system from substrate prep through scratch coat, brown coat, and finish coat, including reinforcement mesh where specified and sealant joints at designed movement locations. Finish options range from cement-based stucco to acrylic finishes and elastomeric coatings, selected based on exposure, desired texture, and maintenance expectations. If you are comparing bids, look for details on WRB type, lath gauge, fastener schedule, control joint layout, cure time, and written responsibility for flashings and sealants.", "Whether you need a few elevations repaired or a full exterior renovation, we keep the process straightforward: free written estimate, clear sequencing for occupied buildings, and a final walkthrough that confirms proper water shedding and finish consistency. If you are planning multi family stucco work in St. Louis, request an estimate and we will outline the best path to stop leaks, restore appearance, and reduce repeat maintenance calls." ] } }
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that outlines the scope, materials, and the recommended repair or replacement approach.
Yes. We repair and install traditional cement stucco and EIFS systems, using compatible base coats, mesh, accessories, and finish coats for the existing assembly.
Temperature and moisture matter for curing and adhesion. We schedule work around conditions and use appropriate protection so base coats and finishes cure correctly and avoid washout or freezing.
Frequent causes include missing or incorrect flashings, poor WRB laps, buried weep screeds, inadequate lath fastening, lack of control joints, and sealant failure around penetrations and openings.
Small patches may take 1-2 days plus cure time, while larger remediation or full replacements take longer due to demo, substrate repairs, multiple coats, and drying time between steps.
