The Problem with Elastomeric Coatings on Stucco Homes | Pinon Painting

There was a period of time where stucco homes were coated with elastomeric - which wasn't made to sustain our beaming Prescott, Arizona sun.

If you own a stucco home in Prescott, you’ve likely heard horror stories about elastomeric coatings failing. While builders have widely used them for years, they don’t hold up well in our climate, leading to cracks, water damage, and stucco failure.

Key Takeaways:
✔️ Elastomeric coatings were meant to be flexible—but only for about 5 years.
✔️ Arizona’s intense UV rays break down elastomeric quickly, making it brittle and prone to failure.
✔️ Elastomeric paint traps moisture inside walls, leading to water balloons, cracks, and peeling.
✔️ If you have widespread bubbles & peeling, a stucco recoat may be the only long-term fix.
✔️ If you have minor problem areas, we can scrape, seal, and repaint them—but ongoing maintenance is key.

Have water bubbles or failing stucco? Don’t wait until it gets worse! Let Pinon Painting advise you on whether you need repainting or a stucco expert.
