Stucco Services: Traditional & Synthetic (EIFS)
Skystone Construction specializes in both traditional cement stucco and synthetic stucco (EIFS) systems—offering tailored solutions that balance durability, appearance, and efficiency for your residential or commercial property.
Traditional Cement Stucco
Cement stucco is a time-tested exterior finish made from a mixture of cement, sand, lime, and water. It's applied in multiple layers over a metal lath or masonry surface and offers a hard, durable, and breathable finish that stands up to NYC’s tough weather conditions.
Benefits:
Highly durable and impact-resistant
Naturally breathable—reduces moisture buildup
Classic, textured appearance
Excellent fire resistance
Ideal for property owners seeking a rugged, long-lasting exterior with a traditional look, cement stucco can be applied over masonry, concrete block, or wood-frame structures with proper preparation.
Synthetic Stucco (EIFS)
EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) is a multi-layered synthetic stucco system designed for energy efficiency, flexibility, and lightweight performance. It includes an insulation board, a polymer-based adhesive, reinforcing mesh, and a synthetic finish coat.
Benefits:
Superior insulation value (energy savings)
Lightweight and flexible
Wide variety of colors and textures
Moisture-resistant when properly installed and sealed
EIFS is best suited for clients prioritizing modern aesthetics, insulation performance, and lightweight construction, especially on non-masonry substrates.
