Productive Painting provides masonry services in addition to painting a home’s exterior.

A licensed professional contractor can guide you in all the steps they will take to ensure the job is done properly. Assessing the damage to the areas is different for each type of masonry. The contractor will determine whether it is cracks, missing mortar, spalling, gaps, or bowing. It could be an Underlying cause: Water infiltration, foundation issues, structural movement. Addressing the root cause is crucial for a lasting repair.

Our Process

Reasons why Homeowners choose to update their Exterior:

  • Aesthetic Purposes: Refresh the color: Over time, even the most durable exterior finishes can fade or become discolored. A fresh coat of paint can dramatically renew the look of your home and boost its curb appeal.
  • Change the style: If you are tired of the look of your existing EIFS or stucco, painting can be an inexpensive way to give your home a whole new makeover. You can choose a new color or even add texture to create a completely distinctive look.
  • Extend the lifespan: A high-quality paint job can help to protect your EIFS or stucco from the elements, including sun damage, rain, and hail. This can extend the lifespan of your exterior finish and save you money on repairs overall.
  • Seal cracks: If your EIFS or stucco has developed minor cracks, painting can help to seal them and prevent them from getting worse. This can help to prevent moisture from entering your home and causing damage.

Here are some additional factors to consider when choosing a masonry paint:

  • The type of masonry: Several types of masonry require different types of paint. For example, brick paint is different from stucco paint.
  • The condition of the masonry: If the masonry is in poor condition, you may need to use a special primer before you paint.
  • The climate: The climate in your area will affect the type of paint you need to use. For example, if you live in a cold climate, you will need to use paint that is freeze-resistant.


Prepping for masonry repairs on a residential home involves several key steps, and the level of preparation will vary depending on the size and complexity of the project.
