Comprehensive Water Damage Restoration

Water damage is rarely just on the surface. We provide a complete repair solution that addresses the layers underneath your stucco.

Leak Investigation

We inspect windows, rooflines, and flashings to determine where water is penetrating. Fixing the stucco without fixing the leak will only lead to more damage.

Find The Leak โ†’

Structural Repair

We remove damaged stucco to expose the substrate. Any rusted wire lath or deteriorated building paper is removed and replaced with new, durable materials.

Fix The Damage โ†’

Waterproofing

We install high-quality Grade D building paper or modern weather barriers, properly integrated with existing flashing to ensure water flows out, not in.

Seal My Home โ†’

Stucco Restoration

Once the waterproofing is secure, we apply the scratch, brown, and finish coats, blending the texture to match the surrounding wall as closely as possible.

Why We Don't Take Deposits

Water damage repairs involve trust. We prove we can fix the problem before you pay.

1

Zero Deposit Required

We handle the demo and material costs upfront. You don't pay a deposit to start the investigation or repair process.

2

Progress Payments Only

For extensive rot repairs, payments are made only after we have exposed the damage and you have approved the scope of work.

3

You Stay In Control

We earn every payment by properly waterproofing and restoring your home. If the leak isn't fixed correctly, you don't pay.

Signs of Active Water Damage

If you see these signs, water is already inside your walls. Act quickly to prevent mold and structural rot.

Dark Stains

Discolored patches on your stucco that remain dark long after rain has stopped indicate water is trapped behind the surface.

Crumbled Stucco

If the stucco is flaking off or feels soft to the touch, the cement bonds have been weakened by constant moisture saturation.

Interior Leaks

Damp drywall, peeling paint, or mold on the *inside* of your home means your exterior stucco barrier has completely failed.

White Powder

Efflorescence (white salt deposits) creates a fuzzy texture on the wall. This happens when water moves through the stucco and evaporates, leaving salts behind.

Restoring Homes from Water Damage

We remove the rot and restore the exterior to like-new condition.

Services & What We Do

What services does Stucco Champions offer?

What is stucco repair?
Stucco repair addresses structural integrity issues in damaged walls. We fix cracks, holes, water damage, and deteriorating sections while matching your existing texture and color. This is ideal for localized damage rather than full replacement.
What is a complete re-stucco?
A complete re-stucco involves removing all existing stucco down to the substrate, inspecting and repairing the underlying structure, installing new lath and moisture barriers, and applying fresh stucco. This gives your home a brand-new exterior finish and is recommended when damage is extensive or the existing stucco is beyond repair.
What is a weep screed and why is it important?
A weep screed is a metal flashing installed at the base of stucco walls that allows trapped moisture to escape. It's required by California building code and prevents water damage, mold growth, and structural deterioration. If your home was built before 1999 or lacks proper weep screeds, we highly recommend installation.
Can you match my existing stucco color and texture?
Absolutely! Our experienced team specializes in color and texture matching. We carefully analyze your existing stucco and create custom mixes to ensure seamless repairs that blend perfectly with your home's exterior.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes, we serve both residential and commercial clients. Whether you own a single-family home, multi-unit property, or commercial building, we have the expertise and equipment to handle projects of all sizes.

What does the "Zero Deposit" policy mean?

How does your payment structure work?

  • Final payment upon project completion and your approval
This keeps you in control and ensures you're always satisfied before money changes hands.

How long does a stucco repair take?
Most stucco repairs can be completed in 1-3 days, depending on the extent of damage and drying time needed between coats. We'll provide a specific timeline during your estimate.
How long does a complete re-stucco take?
A complete re-stucco typically takes 1-3 weeks depending on the size of your home, weather conditions, and any underlying repairs needed. We work efficiently while never compromising on quality.
How soon can you start my project?
Our scheduling depends on current workload, but we typically can start projects within 1-2 weeks of approval. For urgent repairs, we do our best to accommodate emergency situations.
Will my daily routine be disrupted during the project?
We minimize disruption as much as possible. Most work is done on the exterior, so you can continue living normally inside your home. We keep work areas clean, protect landscaping and surfaces, and communicate any necessary access requirements in advance.

Quality & Warranty

What materials do you use?
We use only high-quality, professional-grade stucco materials from reputable manufacturers. Our products are designed for Southern California's climate and meet or exceed all building code requirements. We never cut corners on materials.
Do you offer a warranty on your work?
Yes! We stand behind our craftsmanship with a warranty on all work performed. The specific warranty terms vary by project type and will be detailed in your contract. Our goal is your complete satisfaction and long-lasting results.
How do you ensure quality work?
Quality is our priority:
  • Experienced, trained craftsmen on every job
  • Premium materials only
  • Proper surface preparation
  • Multiple quality checkpoints
  • Final walkthrough with the homeowner
  • Progress payments ensure you're satisfied at each phase
Will my new stucco crack?
Minor hairline cracks can occur naturally due to settling and temperature changes โ€“ this is normal for any stucco home. However, proper installation techniques, quality materials, and correct curing significantly reduce cracking. We address any warranty-covered issues promptly.

Common Stucco Problems

How do I know if my stucco needs repair?
Signs that your stucco may need attention include:
  • Visible cracks (especially large or growing cracks)
  • Staining or discoloration
  • Bubbling or bulging areas
  • Soft or crumbling sections
  • Missing chunks or holes
  • Water stains inside your home near exterior walls
  • Mold or mildew growth
If you notice any of these signs, we recommend a professional inspection.
What causes stucco to crack?
Stucco cracks can result from several factors: house settling, foundation movement, seismic activity, thermal expansion/contraction, improper installation, water intrusion, or simply age. Our inspection identifies the root cause so we can provide the right solution.
Is cracked stucco a serious problem?
It depends on the type of crack. Hairline cracks are often cosmetic, but larger cracks can allow water infiltration, leading to wood rot, mold, and structural damage. It's best to have cracks evaluated promptly โ€“ small repairs now prevent expensive problems later.
Can water damage behind stucco be repaired?
Yes, but it's important to address it properly. We remove damaged stucco, inspect and repair the underlying structure (framing, sheathing, moisture barriers), then apply new stucco with proper waterproofing. Simply patching over water damage without addressing the source will lead to recurring problems.

Stucco Care & Maintenance

How do I maintain my stucco exterior?
Good stucco maintenance includes:
  • Annual visual inspections for cracks or damage
  • Keeping sprinklers directed away from walls
  • Maintaining proper drainage around your foundation
  • Cleaning with gentle pressure washing when needed
  • Trimming plants and trees away from stucco surfaces
  • Addressing small cracks before they grow
How long does stucco typically last?
Properly installed and maintained stucco can last 50-80 years or more. Its longevity depends on installation quality, climate exposure, and ongoing maintenance. Regular inspections and timely repairs help maximize your stucco's lifespan.
Can I paint over stucco?
Yes, stucco can be painted with proper preparation and the right type of paint (elastomeric or masonry paint). However, once painted, you'll need to repaint periodically. Alternatively, colored stucco (integral color) doesn't require painting and maintains its appearance longer.

What should I do before my estimate appointment?

Do I need to be home during the estimate?
While it's helpful for you to be present so we can discuss your concerns and answer questions in person, it's not always required for the initial exterior assessment. We can arrange to meet at a time that works for your schedule.
