Stucco, EIFS & Painting in Elmhurst, IL
Elmhurst has an active teardown-and-rebuild market, and that shapes the exterior work here. On any given street you will find a 1920s Colonial, a 1960s split-level and a brand-new custom house with a stucco-and-limestone elevation, all within sight of each other. We work on all three.

Working in Elmhurst
On the new builds, the brief is usually a flat smooth or sand-float stucco field with natural stone at the base and black-framed windows — the look that has taken over Elmhurst's rebuild streets over the last decade. Getting that right is about rodding the brown coat genuinely flat, because a smooth finish on a long two-story elevation shows every wave when the afternoon sun comes across it.
On the older houses it is a different job: additions that have to match an existing texture, stucco that has been painted over too many times, and repair work on walls that pre-date modern drainage detailing. Both are the same company and the same crew.
Elmhurst specifics
What we tend to find on Elmhurst houses
Every town in Chicagoland has its own housing stock and its own weather exposure. These are the things that come up here.
Teardown-rebuild detailing
New custom homes on infill lots put tall, uninterrupted elevations close to the property line. Those walls need control joints planned and flashing detailed before the lath goes on, not worked out on the scaffold.
Mature tree canopy
Elmhurst's older streets are heavily shaded, and north elevations under a canopy stay damp long after the rest of the house has dried. That is where you see algae, chalking paint and stucco that never fully dries out between freezes.
Matching an addition to a 1920s house
Rear additions and second-story pop-tops are common here. Making the new stucco read as part of the original is a texture-and-color sampling job, done against the actual wall in daylight.
