When temperatures soar above 100°F and sudden Gulf Coast showers roll in, San Antonio homeowners need an exterior finish that can handle the extremes. Stucco siding delivers the thermal mass, durability, and timeless Southwest style the region is famous for. At CountBricks, we combine proven craftsmanship with AI-powered estimating to make stucco projects faster, clearer, and more affordable than ever.
• Superior heat resistance keeps interiors cooler without over-working HVAC systems
• Minimal maintenance compared to wood or fiber-cement siding
• Wide range of texture and pigment options suit Spanish, Mission, and modern designs
• Fire and pest resistance adds long-term peace of mind
The porous nature of stucco allows vapor to escape rather than trapping moisture against framing. Combined with proper drainage planes and CountBricks’ breathable coatings, it protects homes during San Antonio’s humid spring seasons and heavy fall rains.
Substrate Preparation
Improper sheathing gaps or poorly fastened lath can cause cracking within a year. CountBricks crews follow ASTM C1063 fastening schedules and document every square foot in our cloud platform so you have a permanent record.
Moisture Intrusion
South-facing walls take the brunt of driving storms. Our AI takeoff module flags flashing intersections and recommends extended paper laps at critical points—saving re-work costs later.
Color Consistency
Hand-mixed stucco can shift shade from batch to batch. CountBricks uses digital pigment dosing and QR-coded buckets to ensure the final coat is seamless across the entire façade.
Speak your measurements into your phone, and our real-time voice engine translates them into line-item pricing linked to live San Antonio material indexes. No spreadsheets, no guesswork.
Upload PDFs and let CountBricks identify wall areas, window penetrations, and control joints automatically. Our algorithms calculate required square footage and adjust quantities for chosen textures or acrylic finishes.
Every CountBricks stucco installer carries a minimum five-year journeyman card and completes annual training on regional building codes. You receive workmanship warranties up to 10 years backed by our own service department.

An early-1900s adobe cottage near the San Antonio River required a seismic structural upgrade and new exterior skin. CountBricks’ AI takeoff mapped irregular wall surfaces from a LIDAR scan, reducing material waste by 13%. The homeowner selected a warm terracotta acrylic finish, and our specialty crew integrated ornate foam corbels to preserve architectural integrity. Post-project sensors show stable humidity at 12%—well under the 20% threshold that triggers maintenance—demonstrating long-term system health.
• Keep sprinkler heads at least 12″ from walls to avoid mineral staining
• Add gutters on parapet roofs; redirected water prevents splashback erosion on lower coats
• When repainting trim, use breathable elastomeric paint that allows stucco to expel vapor
