When your Los Gatos home's stucco is beyond repair, we provide a complete, long-lasting replacement.
Get Your Free EstimateStucco replacement means we take off your old, failing stucco and put up a whole new system. This isn't a patch job; it's a complete overhaul of your exterior finish. We handle everything from demolition and surface prep to applying new lath, scratch coats, brown coats, and the final finish coat. You get a fresh, durable exterior that looks great and protects your home for decades.
Our process is straightforward. First, we secure the work area and protect your landscaping. Then, we carefully remove all the old stucco, making sure to expose the underlying sheathing. We inspect for any hidden damage, like dry rot or water intrusion, and address it before moving forward. This critical step ensures the new stucco has a solid, healthy foundation.
For Los Gatos homes, a full replacement often makes more sense than repeated repairs, especially with our local climate. The temperature swings and occasional heavy rains can really take a toll on old, cracked stucco. Replacing it properly prevents ongoing moisture issues, which are a big deal here. It also brings your home up to modern building standards, improving insulation and overall structural integrity.
Homeowners often ask about the timeline and disruption. A typical full stucco replacement on a Los Gatos house can take anywhere from two to four weeks, depending on the size and complexity. We work efficiently to minimize inconvenience, keeping the site clean and organized. We'll keep you updated every step of the way, so you know what to expect. You'll end up with a robust, attractive exterior that adds real value to your property.
A full stucco replacement in Los Gatos isn't just about looks; it's about protecting your biggest investment. Old, failing stucco can let water get behind it, leading to rot in your wall sheathing and framing. This kind of damage can be expensive to fix down the line if you let it go too long. Replacing it correctly stops these problems before they get worse.
Our local climate, with its warm, dry summers and wet winters, puts a lot of stress on exterior finishes. Stucco that's been patched repeatedly or is past its prime just can't stand up to it. A new stucco system, installed right, provides superior weather resistance and insulation. This can even help with your energy bills by keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Beyond protection, a new stucco exterior significantly boosts your home's curb appeal and market value. Many homes in Los Gatos have classic stucco finishes, and a fresh, clean exterior makes a huge difference. It's an investment that pays off in both immediate protection and long-term value.
We start by protecting your property, then carefully remove all the old, damaged stucco. We get down to the bare sheathing and inspect for any hidden issues.
Any underlying damage, like dry rot or structural issues, gets fixed now. Then, we install new weather barriers and metal lath, creating a strong base for the new stucco.
We apply the scratch coat, followed by the brown coat, letting each layer cure properly. Finally, the finish coat goes on, giving your home its desired texture and color.
Once the stucco is cured, we clean up the site thoroughly, removing all debris. We'll do a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets your expectations.
