Elastomeric coatings in Cleveland
Elastomeric coatings are a specialized exterior wall finish that differs significantly from standard paints or stains. Unlike conventional coatings that sit on the surface, elastomeric coatings form a thick, flexible membrane that can bridge hairline cracks in stucco, concrete block, or masonry walls. The application process begins with a thorough inspection of the substrate to identify any structural issues, followed by pressure washing to remove dirt, efflorescence, and loose material. Cracks wider than 1/16 inch are filled with a compatible caulk or patching compound before the coating is applied. The elastomeric material is typically rolled or sprayed on in two coats, with the first coat acting as a primer and the second providing the final thickness and color. Each coat must cure fully—usually 24 to 48 hours depending on humidity and temperature—before the next is applied.
For Cleveland properties, elastomeric coatings address specific challenges posed by the local climate. The freeze-thaw cycles common in Northeast Ohio cause water to expand and contract within masonry pores, leading to spalling, cracking, and water intrusion. An elastomeric coating creates a seamless barrier that remains flexible at low temperatures, allowing the wall to expand and contract without the coating itself cracking. This is particularly important for older homes in Cleveland with historic stucco or concrete construction, where water damage has already begun to compromise the structure. Additionally, elastomeric coatings are breathable—they allow trapped moisture vapor to escape from the wall assembly, preventing blistering and delamination that can occur with non-breathable sealers. The result is a durable, weather-resistant exterior that can extend the life of masonry surfaces by decades when properly maintained.

What to Expect
When you schedule elastomeric coating work with us, here is what the process involves:
- A site visit to assess the condition of your walls, measure moisture levels, and identify any cracks or damage that need repair.
- Preparation work including pressure washing, scraping loose paint or old coatings, and filling cracks with a flexible patching compound.
- Application of the first coat of elastomeric coating, which serves as a base layer and seals the substrate.
- A drying period of 24 to 48 hours, depending on weather conditions, before the second coat is applied.
- A final inspection to ensure even coverage, proper thickness, and no missed areas around windows, doors, or corners.
The entire process typically takes two to four days for an average-sized home or building, but larger properties or those requiring extensive crack repair may take longer. We work around your schedule and coordinate with any other contractors if needed.
