Stop Water Damage Before It Eats Your Walls. — Expert Stucco Repair in Orange County & Los Angeles

A patch covers one isolated spot — a single crack, chip, or hole. If you have damage in two or more areas of your home (different walls, corners, or elevations), that falls under multiple-area repair. During your free walkthrough we'll map every spot so nothing gets missed.

Yes. We custom-mix stucco on site to match your existing color and texture — sand, lace, dash, or skip-trowel. On properly executed repairs, the patch blends in and is virtually invisible once cured.

Most single patches are completed in one day. Multi-area repairs typically take 1–3 days depending on the number of spots and drying time between coats.

Recurring cracks usually mean the underlying cause wasn't addressed — settling, missing control joints, or substrate damage. We diagnose the root cause first so the repair sticks. If the damage is too widespread, we'll recommend a re-stucco of that section instead of throwing more patches at it.

No. If the existing substrate (lath, paper, framing) is in good shape, we can apply new stucco directly over the existing surface. A full tear-off is only necessary when the underlying structure is compromised — corroded lath, wood rot, or failed moisture barriers. We determine which approach your home needs during the free walkthrough.

A repair handles isolated damage. A re-stucco makes sense when:

• Cracking is widespread across multiple walls
• Stucco feels soft or spongy when pressed
• There are persistent moisture stains or bubbling
• You want to change your texture or color entirely

Most re-stucco projects take 1–3 weeks depending on home size, weather, and whether structural repairs are needed underneath. We provide a detailed schedule before work begins.

Absolutely. Partial re-stuccos are common — we can re-stucco specific walls or elevations and color-match them to the rest of your home. This is a great option when damage is concentrated on one side, like a south-facing wall with heavy sun exposure.

A weep screed is a metal flashing installed at the base of your stucco walls that lets trapped moisture drain out. It's required by California building code and prevents water from pooling behind the stucco, which causes wood rot, mold, and structural damage.

Look for these signs near the base of your walls:

• Stucco staining or discoloration at the bottom
• Bubbling or crumbling stucco near the foundation
• Visible rust streaks
• No visible metal edge at the stucco-to-foundation transition

We remove the stucco along the base of the wall (typically the bottom 12–18 inches), inspect the underlying framing for moisture damage, install new code-compliant weep screed, then re-stucco and match the texture and color. The rest of your wall stays untouched.

Yes. We can convert heavy dash, skip-trowel, or sand finishes to a clean, modern smooth finish. This involves re-stuccoing the sections being converted, since smooth stucco requires a specific application process to get a uniform result.

Smooth stucco demands a higher level of craftsmanship. Every imperfection shows on a flat surface, so it requires more coats, more precise trowel work, and longer finishing time. The material cost is similar — the difference is in the labor and skill required.

Not significantly. Smooth stucco is actually easier to clean — dirt and debris don't get trapped in texture grooves. It may show hairline cracks more readily than textured finishes, but with proper installation those are minimal.

Unlike most contractors who require 30–50% upfront, we don't ask for any deposit. We cover all materials and labor costs ourselves. You only pay after each phase of work is completed and approved.

The prices shown are starting prices. Your final price depends on square footage, the extent of any underlying damage, and your chosen finish. We provide a fixed-price written quote after your free walkthrough — no hidden fees, no surprises.
