Your stucco tells one of two stories right now: the colour has faded to a chalky version of what you chose a decade ago, or a patch repair sits on your wall like a band-aid that doesn't match. Both share the same root cause; Calgary's climate punishes exteriors harder than almost any other Canadian city.
Calgary sits at 1,045 metres above sea level, one of the highest-elevation major cities in Canada. That altitude delivers 30–40% more UV radiation per square metre than Toronto or Vancouver receive annually.
Standard masonry paint loses pigment integrity as UV breaks down molecules, turning rich earth tones into chalky pastels.
Stucco expands when it heats and contracts when it cools. Standard flat paint lacks the flexibility to move with these shifts.
Moisture penetrates micro-cracks, freezes, expands ~9%, and widens them further. Within a few seasons paint begins to peel.
The deterioration isn't cosmetic. It exposes the stucco body itself to water damage that leads to costly remediation.
Most painting companies apply flat acrylic masonry paint to stucco. That paint sits on the surface at 3–4 mils dry film thickness. Elastomeric coatings build to 10–15 mils, roughly three to four times thicker, and stretch up to 300% without cracking. That flexibility absorbs Chinook-driven expansion and contraction cycles instead of fighting them.
Agim applies PREMIX1000, a professional-grade elastomeric coating engineered specifically for stucco substrates. PREMIX1000 bridges existing hairline cracks up to 1mm wide, creates a waterproof membrane across the entire surface, and maintains breathability so trapped moisture can escape as vapour.
The result protects your stucco for 8–10 years, roughly double the lifespan of a standard masonry paint job in Calgary's conditions.
Choosing a colour from a 2-inch chip inside a paint store, under fluorescent lighting, and trusting it to look right across 1,500 square feet of textured exterior wall is a gamble.
Stucco texture absorbs light differently at every hour of the day. Calgary's intense afternoon sun shifts how warm and cool tones read on west-facing walls versus north-facing ones. A small chip can't predict that.
Agim paints your top two or three colour finalists in 3 × 3 foot test areas on your actual stucco. You see the real colour, on real texture, under real sun, at noon and again at dusk. You live with the samples for a day or two before committing.
This step eliminates the single most common regret in exterior painting: "That's not the colour I picked." No rush. No pressure. No surprises on reveal day.
If you've had stucco damage repaired, you're likely staring at a visible mismatch. New stucco sits brighter and cleaner against a wall that has faded over years of UV exposure. The difference screams "repair" from the street.
Agim uses computer spectrophotometer colour-matching to analyse the exact pigment composition of your existing weathered stucco. The technology reads colour data beyond what the human eye distinguishes, measuring hue, saturation, and lightness across multiple sample points.
The system generates a custom formula that matches the faded surrounding area precisely, not the original colour from years ago. From 3 metres away, the repair vanishes.

These two terms sound interchangeable. They aren't, and the difference affects both your budget and your outcome.
Existing coating still adheres well. Colour has faded or you want a change. Power wash, seal minor cracks, new elastomeric paint bonds directly over the existing film.
Existing paint has failed: peeling, flaking, bubbling, or delaminating. Failed coating must be scraped, sanded, or stripped before primer and elastomeric finish can build a new protective system.
Roughly 70% of Calgary stucco homes that reach out need a repaint, not a recoat. If yours falls in that majority, you save thousands. Agim will tell you directly rather than upselling work your home doesn't require.
Full stucco remediation (stripping, repairing substrate damage, re-applying base coats, finishing) costs Calgary homeowners between $20,000 and $40,000. A quality elastomeric repaint on stucco that hasn't reached the failure stage typically costs between $5,000 and $15,000.
Homeowners who delay past the repaint window, waiting until paint actively peels and moisture enters the wall cavity, face remediation costs that jump $15,000 to $25,000 above what a timely repaint would have required.
The math favours acting while your stucco still qualifies for a repaint rather than a recoat.
Send a photo today. Agim responds within 24 hours with an honest evaluation.
Our process, straightforward, honest, and built around the reality of Calgary weather.
You send photos of your stucco via text, email, or the form below. Include close-ups of any problem areas: fading, cracks, patches, peeling.
Agim reviews your photos and responds with an honest evaluation: repaint candidate, recoat candidate, or something that needs a stucco contractor before painting.
Agim visits your property, tests coating adhesion, measures the surface area, and discusses colour direction. You receive a written quote within 48 hours.
Your top colour choices go directly onto your stucco. You evaluate them under real Calgary sunlight for 1–2 days before confirming.
Power washing removes dirt, chalk, and loose material. Cracks get filled with elastomeric caulking. Damaged sections receive targeted repair.
PREMIX1000 (or the specified premium product from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, or Cloverdale Paint) gets applied in two full coats to achieve proper mil thickness and complete coverage.
Agim walks the entire exterior with you, inspecting edges, transitions, and detail areas. Touch-ups happen on the spot, not 'we'll come back next week.'
No automated quote calculators. No generic sales pitch. Agim, the person who will actually assess and complete your project, responds within 24 hours.
