What is Fog Coating?
Fog coat is a cement-based finish applied directly to stucco, designed to refresh color and restore the surface without sealing it like paint. Because it bonds chemically to stucco, fog coat allows the surface to breathe—helping prevent peeling, blistering, or trapped moisture damage. It’s ideal for:
-
Homes with faded or stained stucco
-
Color matching new stucco repairs
-
Updating curb appeal without costly re-stuccoing

Fog Coat FAQs
1. What is fog coating and how is it different from exterior home painting? Fog coating is a cement-based stucco finish that restores color and durability to your home’s exterior without sealing it like paint. Unlike traditional house painting, fog coat allows stucco to breathe, preventing peeling and moisture damage, making it a superior choice for unpainted stucco surfaces.
6. What product does Nu Home use for fog coating? We proudly use LaHabra’s Allegro II Stucco Base, a trusted industry product designed for professional stucco refinishing. As an experienced painting contractor, we know this cement-based product provides excellent coverage, fade resistance, and long-lasting durability.
7. Will fog coating change the texture of my stucco? No, fog coating only restores and enhances the color of your stucco without changing its natural texture. That’s one reason homeowners prefer fog coating over house painting when they want to maintain an authentic stucco appearance.
8. Do you offer fog coating services in my area? Nu Home is a local painting company serving homeowners across Southern California, including Riverside, Temecula, Murrieta, Corona, and the Inland Empire. If you’re searching for a reliable house painting contractor or stucco coating specialist nearby, Nu Home has you covered.
9. How does fog coating improve curb appeal compared to exterior painting? Fog coating restores faded or stained stucco with a natural, even color that blends beautifully with your home’s existing finish. Unlike traditional exterior house painting, which can sometimes look like a surface layer, fog coating gives your home a fresh, authentic stucco appearance that enhances curb appeal for years.
10. Why is Nu Home the best choice for fog coating over other painting contractors? Nu Home is more than just a local painting company—we specialize in stucco and fog coat applications. With our CSLB License #1086849, professional team, and use of high-quality products like LaHabra Allegro II, we deliver results that last longer and look better than a standard paint job.
2. Can fog coating be applied to any stucco surface? Fog coating is best for fresh or unpainted stucco. If your home has already been painted, our local painting contractors recommend exterior house painting instead, since paint adheres better to previously painted surfaces.
3. Why should I choose a local painting company like Nu Home for fog coat services? Choosing a licensed, bonded, and insured local painting contractor ensures your project is done correctly and safely. At Nu Home, we use professional-grade materials and proven techniques to deliver lasting results for Southern California homeowners.
4. How long does fog coating last compared to house painting? Fog coating typically lasts longer than traditional exterior painting because it bonds directly with stucco rather than sitting on the surface. With proper application by a professional painting contractor, you can expect a fog coat finish to last 10+ years.
5. Is fog coating more affordable than exterior house painting? Yes, in most cases fog coating is more cost-effective than repainting. It requires less prep work, fewer materials, and delivers a natural stucco look that blends beautifully, saving homeowners money while still enhancing curb appeal.
