About Moisture Intrusion
The key to a long lasting, worry free stucco job is proper flashing and sealing. Spectrum Plastering has an untarnished history of doing stucco the right way. More important than a good looking stucco job, is a thoroughness in making sure that the job will perform in keeping water out. We know how to use caulk and flashing. We warranty our work for a minimum of one year, depending on the system you choose. Contact Kyle Parker for more information.
Pictured to the right is a kick-out flashing repair. This home was not flashed properly to begin with. Over the years we have done many repairs due to improper flashing. Without proper kick-out flashing, water runs behind the stucco/siding, often causing costly damage.
