ROYLAND INC.
Stucco Contractors in Calgary
Your home exterior specialists — built for Calgary weather.
Royland Stucco & Exterior Specialists
Royland serves homeowners and builders across the city and surrounding areas. We’ve been working on Alberta exteriors since 2013, long enough to know that what works in milder climates does not last on Calgary walls. Freeze-thaw cycles and Chinook-driven temperature swings put exterior surfaces under serious stress, and installations without the right materials and proper layering will start to crack within a few winters.
Our team of experienced stucco installers handles the full scope of cladding and exterior work, from full installation and EIFS systems to repair, painting, parging, stonework, and woodpecker-damage repair. Every project is run with attention to detail, written quotes, and a clear timeline before we start. Quality work, no subcontracted crews, no surprises on invoice day.
Whether you need a small repair before listing your house, a full EIFS re-clad on a new build, or exterior painting to refresh your home, we apply the same approach: assess the surface, recommend the right system for Calgary conditions, and deliver durable work that holds up through Alberta winters.
TRUSTED SINCE 2013
Over 10 years of quality exterior cladding and stucco work in Calgary and across Alberta. Hundreds of completed residential and commercial projects on house exteriors and walls.

Stucco Types:
Which One Is Right for Your Calgary Home?
The three systems we install in Calgary (Traditional cement stucco, EIFS, and Cement Board system) each handle freeze-thaw cycles, insulation, and durability differently. The right choice depends on whether you’re building new, re-cladding an existing home, or doing a partial repair.

For most Calgary new builds and full re-clad projects, EIFS is the strongest performer–the continuous insulation reduces heating costs, and the flexible acrylic finish resists cracking that traditional cement systems can suffer in Alberta winters. For repair work, partial sections, or budget projects, traditional cement remains a durable choice when applied correctly with freeze-thaw-rated materials.
Not sure which system suits your project? We’ll walk through both options during a free on-site visit. See full details on our EIFS and Traditional stucco systems pages.
Why Calgary Homes Need Professional Stucco Contractors
Calgary’s climate is one of the harshest in Canada for exterior cladding. Temperature swings of 40°C between seasons, more than 120 freeze-thaw cycles per year, and Chinook events that can raise temperatures by 20°C in hours all put exterior walls under repeated expansion and contraction stress. When stucco is installed with non-freeze-thaw-rated materials, cracks often appear within 2 to 3 winters, leading to premature repairs and a noticeable loss of curb appeal.
This is why hiring a contractor in Calgary is different from hiring one in Vancouver or Toronto. The right team of stucco installers uses materials specifically rated for the Alberta climate, applies each coat according to the manufacturer’s specifications, and installs flashings and moisture barriers designed for the wind-driven rain and snow common across the Prairies. Cutting corners on any of these steps is what causes the cracking, bulging, and water damage seen on many stucco walls and house exteriors within just a few years.
At Royland, we use freeze-thaw-rated systems on every installation and repair. Our crews are trained on Alberta-specific application standards, and we schedule projects around the right weather window. Stucco needs temperatures above 5°C to cure properly, which means the working season runs roughly from April through October. We never compromise installation conditions to protect the long-term performance of your exterior.

What Our Clients Say
What Calgary Homeowners Ask About Stucco
How much does stucco work cost in Calgary?
Costs vary by scope: full installation typically costs more than repairs or exterior painting of existing walls. Factors include surface area, system type (EIFS, traditional cement, or acrylic), the condition of the existing exterior, and the amount of prep or repair work needed before finishing. We provide free on-site estimates so you get an accurate number for your home before any work begins.
How long does stucco last in Calgary's climate?
Properly installed stucco can last 50 to 100 years or more. Calgary’s freeze-thaw cycles are the main risk factor–stucco applied without climate-appropriate materials and correct layering will crack within a few winters and need repair. Royland uses quality materials rated for Alberta conditions on every project, and stucco painting every 15 to 20 years extends the lifespan of your house’s exterior.
Do you work on both residential and commercial properties?
Yes. We handle projects of all sizes, from single-family homes to commercial buildings across Calgary and surrounding areas, including Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, and Okotoks. Our stucco workers are experienced in both residential and larger-scale exterior systems.
What warranty do you offer?
We provide a 5-year warranty on all stucco work, upgradeable to 10 years. For the Graphex system for woodpecker repairs, a 10-year warranty. This covers both materials and labour for installation, repairs, and painting. Everything is confirmed in writing before the project starts.
How do I know when my stucco needs attention?
Common signs include visible cracks (especially around windows and corners), discoloration, bubbling paint or finish, or soft spots when you press the surface. If you notice these issues on your home exterior, it’s worth getting an inspection–sometimes it’s a simple repair, sometimes it requires refinishing, and sometimes both. Quality assessment first, work after.
How long does a typical stucco project take?
The timeline depends on the scope. Most residential stucco repairs and painting projects on a single house are completed in 2 to 5 days. Full installations or larger projects typically take 2 to 4 weeks, plus curing time. We’ll give you a clear schedule before work begins.
