Commercial Stucco Recoating in Alpharetta
A faded, patched facade makes an Alpharetta property look older than the competition down the road. We repair what needs repair, then recoat whole elevations so the building reads as one clean surface, in its original color or a new one.

- Color changes & rebrands
- Elastomeric coatings

Alpharetta commercial stucco & EIFS. Property managers, boards, owners & builders.
Competing with new space starts with the facade
Alpharetta owners lease against newer buildings every year. Prospective tenants and residents tour a 1990s office building or apartment community right after seeing brand-new mixed-use space, and a chalky finish, mildew streaks on the north elevations and a patchwork of mismatched repairs all work against the property before anyone steps inside.
A recoat fixes the look across an entire elevation, but only if the wall underneath is sound. We start by surveying for cracks, failed sealant and soft or wet areas, and repair those first; a fresh finish over a wet wall just traps the problem. Then the surface is cleaned, mildew is treated, joints are resealed and the new finish goes on corner to corner so there are no lap marks.
The finish can match the existing color and texture, or change both. For color changes we prepare sample areas on the building so owners, managers and boards see the color in real light before committing. The coating is chosen for the system on the wall: acrylic finishes for EIFS, and elastomeric or breathable coatings for cement stucco depending on its condition.
Commercial recoat and finish work
Every finish project starts with the same check: is the wall underneath dry and sound? After that, it is about the look the property needs and how the wall needs to breathe.
Whole-building recoats
A new finish or coating applied corner to corner on every elevation, so old patches, stains and uneven fading disappear.
Color changes & rebrands
A new color scheme for a repositioned shopping center, a new tenant’s brand standards or an office building heading back to market.
Elastomeric recoats
Thick, flexible coatings that bridge hairline cracks and shed water, used on walls that have been tested and are dry behind the finish.
Breathable coatings
Vapor-open coatings for hard coat stucco walls where trapping moisture would do more harm than good.
Condo & HOA reserve projects
Recoats planned around a reserve study and budget, phased by building or elevation, with a written scope the board can approve.
EIFS finish renewal
Recoating sound EIFS with a compatible finish after joints are replaced and damaged areas are repaired.
Choosing the right finish for the facade
Acrylic finishes give an even color, flex more than cement and hold color well, and they are the usual choice for renewing EIFS. Elastomeric coatings go on thicker and bridge fine cracks, which suits weathered stucco on condominiums and apartment buildings, but they slow drying, so we use them only where the wall has been tested and is dry. Breathable coatings let hard coat stucco dry out where vapor would otherwise be trapped.
We tell you which option fits each building and why, and put it in the written scope. Before a full recoat we prepare sample areas on the building so the owner, board or brand manager sees the color and texture in daylight before committing to every elevation.

| Elastomeric coatingThick, flexible film | Bridges hairline cracks | Slows drying; dry wall only |
| Breathable coatingVapor-open | Lets stucco dry out | Fewer texture options |
| Cementitious finishTraditional hard coat | Breathes, natural look | Color can mottle and fade |
How a commercial recoat works
Most of the result is decided in the prep. A coating bonds only as well as the surface it goes on, and an occupied property needs a plan as much as a crew.
Test & document
We take moisture readings, sound for loose or hollow areas and look at every joint, window perimeter and penetration before recommending a finish.
- Readings by elevation
- Delamination checked
- Photo documentation
Scope, samples & phasing
You get an itemized scope that separates repairs from finish work, sample areas for approval, and a phasing plan around tenants, residents and business hours.
- Repairs priced separately
- Samples approved on site
- Phasing for budgets
Prep & recoat
Walls are cleaned, cracks and failed sealant are repaired, glass, storefronts and landscaping are masked, and the finish goes on corner to corner.
- Wall washed & dried
- Entrances kept open
- Daily cleanup
Planning a recoat for leasing or reserves?
We will check whether the facade is sound enough for a recoat and put the options in a written scope you can take to ownership or the board.
Often paired with a commercial recoat
A new finish lasts when the wall behind it is dry. Sealant work and a condition survey usually come first, and condo boards often fold the recoat into a larger reserve project.
Waterproofing & Sealants
Sealant joints, expansion joints, flashing and elastomeric coatings that keep water out of the building envelope.

Earth-tone EIFS and stucco from the city’s first office and retail build-out is a common candidate for a color change.
We recoat office buildings off Windward Parkway and along GA 400, shopping centers on Old Milton Parkway and Mansell Road, and apartment and condominium communities throughout the city. Each one gets a phasing plan so tenants, shoppers and residents can keep using the property while the work moves elevation by elevation.
Color changes
New color schemes tested on sample areas before the whole building is coated.
Mildew & fading
Shaded north faces and sun-bleached south faces brought back to one even finish.
Repairs first
Cracks, joints and wet areas corrected before any new coat goes on.
