Choosing Horizon Stucco Company for your Highland property means partnering with a contractor that understands the specific demands of this community.

Our proximity allows for responsive service and efficient project management, whether you're near Highland City Hall or closer to Lone Peak High School, ensuring your project progresses smoothly without unnecessary delays.
Our installation process prioritizes system integrity, not just surface aesthetics. For instance, when applying a three-coat stucco system, we insist on proper lath attachment using corrosion-resistant fasteners, followed by a scratch coat that is thoroughly scored to maximize mechanical keying. The brown coat is then applied to a precise thickness, typically 3/8 inch, and floated to achieve a flat, true surface, which is crucial for the final finish coat's appearance and durability. This attention to foundational layers prevents common issues like cracking and delamination, which are often caused by shortcuts in the early stages.
When you work with us, you can expect a detailed project proposal that outlines material specifications, application methods, and a clear timeline. We walk through the site conditions with you, explaining how factors like existing sheathing, window flashing, and drainage planes will influence our approach. Our goal is to provide a stucco system that not only enhances your home's curb appeal but also offers superior weather protection and longevity, backed by a commitment to sound construction practices.
For Highland homeowners, a traditional three-coat cementitious stucco system or an Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) are both excellent choices, depending on specific performance goals. Traditional stucco offers robust impact resistance and a classic aesthetic, while EIFS provides superior thermal performance due to its continuous insulation layer, which can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs in Utah's temperature extremes. Both systems, when installed correctly with proper flashing and drainage, are highly durable against Highland's seasonal weather shifts, from hot summers to cold, snowy winters.
A typical stucco installation for an average-sized Highland home, approximately 2,500-3,500 square feet, generally takes between 2 to 4 weeks from start to finish, assuming favorable weather conditions. This timeline includes preparation, lath installation, application of scratch, brown, and finish coats, and adequate drying times between layers, which are critical for proper curing and long-term durability. Smaller repair projects can often be completed within a few days, depending on the extent of the damage and the complexity of matching existing textures and colors.
Highland homeowners should prioritize proper flashing details around all penetrations (windows, doors, vents) and at transitions, along with a well-designed drainage plane behind the stucco system, to prevent cracking and moisture intrusion. Adequate expansion and control joints, strategically placed to accommodate building movement and thermal expansion, are also crucial for minimizing stress-induced cracking. Ensuring the stucco mix proportions are correct and that each coat is allowed to cure fully before the next is applied will also significantly improve the system's resilience against cracking and water damage over time.
