I was told by the original painter/ supplier that it failed because they have to paint before the stucco has cured. Village rules to keep the house build 60 days or so.
Great; now I have to spend almost 5K for a repaint.
When I called Home Warranty they told me the builder paint needs to be redone after 2-3 years. BS if I have ever heard it.

New stucco should be painted with Loxon the first time. This coating is made to apply to GREEN stucco, I've used it for over 20 years on new construction, such as Walgreens, Taco Bells, Strip Malls ETC.
Loxon is a finish paint but it fades in 3 to 5 years. Your painter is right about the new construction time lines. All exterior paint should be back rolled so that it will weather evenly and to insure proper millage. IPC Rolls all houses in the villages. Len the retired half of the company.
