Tip #5: Maintaining Stucco Color 🖌️

Stucco can add a beautiful, textured look to your home, and maintaining its color is essential to preserving its aesthetic appeal. Here’s how you can keep your stucco looking fresh and vibrant:

1. 🥽Protect from UV

• Regular Maintenance: Regular cleaning, as we discussed in our first tip, helps to remove pollutants and dirt that can cause discoloration.

2. 🎨Repaint When Necessary:
