Stucco in Gainesville

From the lake to Green Street

Gainesville sits on the shore of Lake Lanier, and the lake shapes much of its housing. Homes on wooded lake lots get long hours of shade and damp air, so a stucco or EIFS wall that would dry out quickly in an open subdivision can stay wet here. Mildew on the finish is the visible part; the bigger concern is moisture at decks, lower-level walkouts and the base of walls near grade.

Closer to downtown, the Green Street and Brenau area has some of the city’s oldest and grandest houses, and the older neighborhoods nearby mix early twentieth-century homes with later additions. Buildings around the downtown square, medical offices and the plants and warehouses along the I-985 corridor round out the commercial picture, with everything from aged masonry stucco to EIFS on newer construction.

We serve Gainesville homeowners and the people responsible for commercial property. Useful starting points are stucco waterproofing, termite-related stucco issues and maintenance services.

Local conditions

Lake country is hard on stucco

The things that make Gainesville pleasant to live in are the same things that keep walls damp.

Shade and humidity

Tree cover and lake air slow drying, so small leaks do more damage and mildew settles on north-facing walls.

Walkout lower levels

Stucco carried down to the soil on basement walls wicks up water and can hide termite activity; it should stop above grade.

Older downtown buildings

Masonry buildings near the square often carry aged stucco or parge coats that crack and let water into the brick behind.

What our customers say

Georgia homeowners and commercial clients on working with ASR.

“Great attention to detail and workmanship. Really appreciate the effort to carefully caulk all stucco penetrations and amazingly good job of matching the stucco color since I had the stucco painted 5 years before.”
Alan W.Customer letter
“We had a section of our wall that was crumbling, and I was worried the repairs would stand out. Not only did they fix the issue, but they matched the color and texture so perfectly that I honestly can’t tell where the damage was.”

Questions & answers

Gainesville stucco questions

What lake homeowners, historic-house owners and Hall County businesses ask us.

Who handles building permits in Gainesville?
The City of Gainesville for properties inside city limits and Hall County for unincorporated areas, which include many lake homes with a Gainesville address. Check with the city or county building department before major cladding work.
Are there historic rules for houses on Green Street?
The Green Street-Brenau Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the city has a historic preservation commission. Ask the city’s planning office whether local design review applies to your property before changing materials or finishes.
Why does the stucco on my lake house keep growing mildew?
Shade and damp air let it grow on the finish, but it can also mean the wall is staying wet. We test the moisture behind stained areas before recommending cleaning, a coating or a repair.
Should stucco go all the way down to the ground?
No. Stucco and EIFS should stop above grade so the wall can drain and the bottom edge can be inspected. We often cut back walls that were buried by landscaping or patios, and coordinate with your pest control company where needed.
Do you work on commercial buildings in Hall County?
Yes. We repair and maintain stucco and EIFS on offices, retail, medical and industrial buildings, and we can phase the work to keep operations running.
