The restucco process involves removing the old stucco layer from the exterior of a building and applying a new layer of stucco. The first step is to prepare the surface by cleaning it and repairing any damage to the substrate. The new stucco is then applied in layers using specialized tools and techniques to achieve the desired texture and finish. Once the new stucco is applied, it must be allowed to dry and cure properly before it is painted or finished. Properly done, restucco can enhance the appearance and durability of a building's exterior, while providing protection from the elements.

Renovating a home's stucco finish is a complex process that may seem deceptively simple to those without professional experience. While it might appear to involve merely adding another layer of stucco over the existing one, in reality, it is a task that should be undertaken by trained professionals. Stucco is a construction material composed of aggregates, a binder, and water that is applied wet and hardens into a dense, solid material, making the application process rather challenging. It is often used as a decorative coating for walls and ceilings and as an architectural and sculptural material. Various types of stucco are utilized in construction and decoration, including synthetic (EIFS) and traditional hard coat (Portland Cement Plaster). Because of its challenging application and different types, the process of re-stuccoing a house varies based on the type and application. Sandblasting, lathing, repair, and other preparations are required before applying a new layer of stucco.
