Interior Exterior Renovations
- Re-stucco and exterior remodel

Re-stucco means taking the old stucco off a wall, or a whole house, and building a new system: checking the framing, replacing damaged building paper and lath, and applying new coats of stucco and a fresh color coat. It is also the work behind a stucco remodel, such as adding a room, changing openings or updating the look of a tired exterior.
It is a bigger job than a repair and a bigger quote, so it is worth getting more than one written scope. The businesses below show re-stucco, stucco remodel or stucco replacement language in their name, website address or Google search results. Treat that as a lead and confirm the details.
When damage is widespread, such as stucco that sounds hollow across large areas, repeated cracking, bulging, or moisture damage behind the surface. A contractor or an independent inspector can tell you whether patching will hold or whether the wall needs to be rebuilt.
Sometimes a new coat can be applied over sound old stucco, and sometimes the old stucco has to come off. It depends on the condition of the wall and what is underneath. Ask the contractor to explain which approach they propose and why.
It depends on the size of the house, the weather and how much repair the wall behind the stucco needs. Stucco goes on in coats that need time to cure between steps, so a full house is usually measured in weeks rather than days. Ask for a written schedule.
