Elastomeric Coating Application in Columbus
Elastomeric coating is a thick, flexible wall finish that goes far beyond standard paint. Unlike conventional latex or acrylic paints, elastomeric coatings form a rubber-like membrane that can stretch and contract with a building's surface as temperatures shift. This matters in Columbus because our freeze-thaw cycles—where water seeps into cracks, freezes, and expands—can cause masonry, stucco, and concrete walls to spall and deteriorate over a single winter. An elastomeric coating bridges hairline cracks up to 1/16 inch wide, preventing moisture intrusion while still allowing the wall to breathe. The result is a waterproof barrier that extends the life of exterior walls, reduces future maintenance, and improves energy efficiency by sealing air leaks.
The application process is more involved than a simple repaint. First, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned—typically with a pressure washer set to the right pressure to avoid damaging the substrate. Loose or failing paint is scraped away, and any cracks wider than a hairline are filled with a compatible caulk or patching compound. A primer may be applied if the surface is porous or if the existing coating is chalky. The elastomeric coating itself is then applied in two coats using a heavy-nap roller or airless sprayer, with careful attention to maintaining a consistent film thickness. Drying times are longer than standard paint—often 24 hours between coats in moderate weather—because the coating needs to cure properly to achieve its full flexibility and waterproofing performance. For Columbus properties with aging brick, stucco, or concrete block walls, this investment in proper surface preparation and application is what makes the coating last five to ten years or more.

What to Expect
When you schedule an elastomeric coating application with us, here is what the process looks like:
- A thorough inspection of your walls to identify cracks, loose paint, and moisture issues.
- Pressure washing and surface preparation to ensure proper adhesion.
- Application of a compatible primer if the substrate requires it.
- Two coats of elastomeric coating applied with rollers or sprayers, with sufficient drying time between coats.
- A final inspection to confirm uniform coverage and proper film thickness.
- A walkthrough with you to explain how to care for the coating and what to watch for over time.
The entire project may take several days depending on the size of the building and weather conditions, since the coating needs dry conditions and moderate temperatures to cure correctly.
