Restore your Long Beach home's exterior with a complete stucco replacement, ensuring lasting protection against our coastal climate.
Get Your Free EstimateStucco replacement is a comprehensive process where we remove your existing, compromised stucco system entirely, down to the underlying sheathing, and then install a brand new, multi-layer stucco finish. This includes addressing any underlying issues like dry rot or structural damage that may have been hidden by the old stucco, ensuring a clean and sound foundation for the new application. We then apply new building paper, lath, scratch coats, brown coats, and a final finish coat, creating a robust and attractive exterior.
Our approach in Long Beach focuses on understanding why the original stucco failed. Was it due to improper installation, water intrusion from faulty flashing, or simply age and wear from the salty air and occasional heavy rains? We don't just cover up problems; we identify and rectify them. This often involves detailed inspections around windows, doors, and rooflines, which are common points of failure in many older Long Beach homes built in the 1950s and 60s.
For properties in Long Beach, especially those closer to the coast or in areas like Belmont Shore and Naples, proper stucco replacement is critical. The consistent humidity and occasional strong winds demand a stucco system that can withstand these specific environmental pressures without cracking or allowing moisture penetration. We ensure all new installations meet current Long Beach building codes and best practices for waterproofing, which have evolved significantly over the years to address past issues.
Homeowners often ask about the disruption and timeline. A full stucco replacement is a significant project, but we work to minimize inconvenience. We'll protect your landscaping, manage debris efficiently, and maintain a clear worksite. The timeline depends on the size of your home and the complexity of the existing damage, but we provide a clear schedule upfront so you know what to expect from start to finish.
We use high-quality, polymer-modified stucco products that offer superior adhesion, flexibility, and crack resistance compared to traditional cement-based stucco. These materials are better suited to handle the thermal expansion and contraction common in our climate, providing a longer-lasting and more resilient finish for your Long Beach home.
For Long Beach properties, stucco replacement is often a necessary investment due to our unique coastal environment. The constant exposure to salt air, high humidity, and the occasional strong Santa Ana winds can degrade older stucco systems faster than in inland areas. When stucco fails, it's not just an aesthetic problem; it's a breach in your home's primary defense against moisture, leading to potential dry rot in framing, mold growth, and pest infestations.
Many homes in Long Beach, particularly those built before the 1980s, were constructed with stucco systems that didn't incorporate today's advanced waterproofing techniques, like robust weep screeds or proper flashing around openings. This makes them particularly susceptible to water intrusion over time. Replacing these outdated systems with modern, code-compliant applications provides a much higher level of protection, safeguarding your property's structural integrity and preventing costly future repairs.
Beyond protection, a new stucco system significantly enhances your home's curb appeal and energy efficiency. A properly installed stucco exterior acts as a thermal mass, helping to regulate indoor temperatures, which can be a real benefit during Long Beach's warm summers. It also provides a fresh, clean look that can boost property value, especially important in our competitive local real estate market.
