Stucco Repair: Sprayed Cement Stucco
Sprayed on cement stucco comes in a several "flavors" or types. The most common looks similar to Spanish Lace. For our purposes stucco textures which look similar to Spanish Lace are covered in that category.
For conversational purposes here "sprayed cement stucco" is only concrete stucco which was left alone after spraying. Its texture could be compared to thousands upon thousands of miniature volcanoes which come to sharp points.
This texture can be quickly sprayed on and its biggest advantage is the texture helps hide defects and variations of the concrete blocks it is usually sprayed over.
Alas there is still a down side. This texture is usually really sharp and the form of the texture is a result of how thin or thick the concrete was when it was sprayed along with the distance from the wall and the air pressure. Frequently the density and height of the "mini volcanoes" changes significantly over the course of the building. This makes matching the texture difficult, and each repair might require a completely different look. The person doing the patching needs to mimic these "mini volcanoes" as closely as possible by controlling the variables. All of the sprayed concrete stucco homes I've seen have been older.
