Get Your Free EstimateStucco replacement is the complete removal of existing stucco and the application of a new, multi-layer system. This includes stripping back to the sheathing, inspecting and repairing the substrate, installing new weather-resistive barriers (WRBs), lath, scratch coat, brown coat, and a final finish coat. We address underlying issues like water intrusion or structural damage that may have compromised the original stucco, which means the new system is built on a sound foundation.
Our process begins with a thorough assessment of your existing stucco to identify the extent of damage and its root causes. This often involves moisture testing and visual inspection for cracks, delamination, or efflorescence. Once the scope is defined, we carefully protect surrounding landscaping and windows before beginning the demolition phase, ensuring debris is contained and removed efficiently. This methodical approach prevents further damage to your property during the replacement.
For Pomona properties, stucco replacement is particularly critical due to the region's climate. The dry heat and occasional heavy rains can cause stucco to expand and contract, leading to cracking if not properly installed or maintained. Our replacement systems incorporate modern WRBs and proper flashing details, which are designed to manage moisture effectively and prevent the common water intrusion issues seen in older stucco applications around the Inland Empire.
Homeowners often ask about the lifespan of new stucco. A properly installed stucco replacement system, using high-quality materials and techniques, can last 50 years or more. We use cement-based stucco systems that offer superior durability and impact resistance compared to synthetic alternatives, providing a robust exterior that withstands environmental stressors and daily wear.
After the final coat is applied and cured, we conduct a final walk-through with you to ensure every detail meets our strict quality standards and your expectations. We provide guidance on proper maintenance practices, such as regular cleaning and inspection for minor cracks, to help extend the life of your new stucco. This post-installation support helps protect your investment for decades.
Stucco replacement in Pomona is a critical investment because it directly addresses significant structural and aesthetic issues that can devalue your property. Deteriorated stucco often indicates underlying problems like water damage to the sheathing or framing, which can lead to costly repairs if left unaddressed. Replacing the stucco allows for a complete inspection and remediation of these hidden issues, safeguarding your home's integrity.
The specific climate in Pomona, characterized by hot, dry summers and occasional wet winters, places unique stresses on exterior finishes. Older stucco systems, especially those installed without modern weather-resistive barriers or proper flashing, are prone to cracking, spalling, and moisture penetration. A full replacement with current building codes and materials provides a superior moisture management system, which means your home is better protected against rot, mold, and pest infestations.
Beyond structural benefits, a new stucco exterior significantly enhances your home's curb appeal and energy efficiency. The multi-layer stucco system provides excellent insulation, helping to stabilize indoor temperatures and potentially reduce cooling costs during Pomona's warm months. This combination of improved protection, increased efficiency, and refreshed aesthetics makes stucco replacement a high-value upgrade for any Pomona property.
We begin with a thorough inspection of your existing stucco, identifying damage extent, moisture intrusion points, and substrate conditions. This includes probing and visual analysis to understand the full scope of work required.
The old stucco is carefully removed down to the sheathing, and all debris is promptly contained and hauled away. We then repair or replace any damaged sheathing or framing to ensure a solid, clean surface for the new system.
We install a new weather-resistive barrier (WRB), metal lath, and apply multiple layers of cement-based stucco: scratch coat, brown coat, and a final finish coat. Each layer is allowed to cure properly, which is crucial for durability.
The chosen finish coat is applied, textured, and colored to your specifications. After curing, we conduct a detailed cleanup of the work area, ensuring your property is left pristine and your new stucco is ready to perform.
