Don’t Settle for a “Surface-Level” Stucco Job
Before hiring a stucco contractor based on price alone, ask if they include these
5 Critical Protection Steps.
At
AandG Stucco LLC, these are not “extras” — they are our standard.
1. Moisture Management (The “Anti-Rot” Phase)
Most stucco failures happen because water gets trapped behind the wall.
- AandG Stucco Standard: We install high-grade weather barriers and integrated flashing around all windows, doors, and rooflines to prevent moisture intrusion.
- The Cheap Option: Often relies on “caulk only,” which cracks and leaks within 24 months.
2. Proper Curing Time (The “Anti-Crack” Phase)
Stucco is a chemical process. If rushed, it becomes brittle and cracks.
- AandG Stucco Standard: We respect proper dry time between the scratch, brown, and finish coats to ensure maximum strength and durability.
- The Cheap Option:
Often “wet-sets” layers to finish the job in half the time — leading to spider-web cracks later.
3. Premium Reinforcement
- AandG Stucco Standard: We use high-tensile, alkaline-resistant fiberglass mesh to reinforce corners and high-stress areas.
- The Cheap Option:
Uses thin, low-grade mesh — or skips reinforcement entirely — to save $500+ in material costs.
4. Site Protection & Cleanliness
Stucco is messy. If it gets on your windows or pavers, it’s permanent.
- AandG Stucco Standard: We invest time in thorough preparation — masking windows with plastic, covering walkways, and protecting your landscaping.
- The Cheap Option: Splashes material on window frames and leaves dried cement in your yard.
5. Legal & Liability Safety
- AandG Stucco Standard: We carry full Liability and Workers’ Compensation insurance. If a worker is injured on your property, we are responsible — not you.
- The Cheap Option:
Often operates uninsured or under the table. If an accident happens, the homeowner’s insurance may be targeted.
The Bottom Line
- A cheap stucco job may look great for the first six months.
- An AandG Stucco LLC job looks great for years to come.

When it comes to your home’s exterior, a small crack is rarely just a crack.

Stucco cracks are one of the most common exterior issues homeowners face in Baton Rouge.
Clogged or overflowing gutters allow water to run down your walls, leading to cracks, staining, and even water intrusion behind the stucco. Over time, this can cause costly structural damage.
