Stucco ceilings, once favored for their textured look, can develop several issues over time that lead homeowners to consider their removal. As these ceilings age, they often experience cracking, chipping, and discoloration, which not only diminishes their appearance but can also indicate deeper structural problems. Stucco is a heavy, porous material that tends to trap moisture, increasing the risk of mold growth and deteriorating indoor air quality. The maintenance challenges associated with cleaning and repairing stucco ceilings further add to the decision to replace them. Modern alternatives, such as gypsum board or stretch ceilings, offer smoother surfaces, easier upkeep, and enhanced performance in terms of acoustics and energy efficiency. These newer systems provide a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic while reducing long-term maintenance costs and improving overall safety.
