Elastomeric Coating Application in Canton
Elastomeric coating application is a specialized service that goes far beyond standard painting. Unlike conventional exterior paint, elastomeric coatings are thick, flexible, and designed to form a seamless, waterproof membrane over exterior surfaces such as stucco, concrete, masonry, and EIFS. In Canton, where homes and commercial buildings face humid summers, freezing winters, and significant freeze-thaw cycles, this coating provides critical protection against moisture intrusion. The application process begins with thorough surface preparation: power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and loose material, followed by scraping and sanding any failing areas. Cracks and gaps are filled with a flexible caulk or patching compound to ensure a smooth base. A high-quality primer is then applied to promote adhesion. The elastomeric coating itself is applied in at least two coats using a roller, brush, or sprayer, with careful attention to thickness and even coverage. The coating must be allowed to cure properly between coats, often requiring 24 hours or more depending on temperature and humidity. This is not a quick job — proper application demands patience and precision to achieve the long-term performance that elastomeric coatings are known for.
For Canton property owners, elastomeric coating is particularly valuable because of the region's climate. Older homes in neighborhoods like Avondale or Belvidere often have stucco or brick exteriors that are prone to hairline cracks. Over time, these cracks allow water to seep in, leading to spalling, efflorescence, and interior damage. A properly applied elastomeric coating bridges these cracks — typically up to 1/16 inch — while still allowing the surface to breathe. This prevents trapped moisture from causing blistering or peeling. In areas like Colonial Heights or near Downtown Canton, where many properties have historic character, preserving the exterior without compromising its integrity is essential. Elastomeric coating also reflects UV rays, reducing heat absorption and helping to lower cooling costs in the summer. For commercial properties near landmarks like Akron Children's Hospital at Aultman, the coating's durability means less frequent repainting and lower maintenance costs over time. The key is that this is not a cosmetic upgrade — it is a protective investment that extends the life of the building envelope.

What to Expect
When you schedule elastomeric coating application with us, here is what the process involves:
- A thorough inspection of your exterior surfaces to identify cracks, damage, or areas of previous coating failure.
- Power washing and cleaning to remove contaminants and ensure proper adhesion.
- Manual patching of cracks, holes, and joints using flexible sealants.
- Application of a compatible primer to seal the surface and improve coating bond.
- Two or more coats of high-quality elastomeric coating applied at the manufacturer's recommended thickness.
- Allowance for adequate curing time between coats and after the final coat — typically 24 to 48 hours depending on weather conditions.
- A final walk-through to verify coverage and quality.
This is a multi-day process that requires dry weather and moderate temperatures. We will work with you to schedule the application at a time that minimizes disruption.
