Get Your Free EstimateStucco Replacement means stripping your old, cracked, or crumbling exterior completely down to the wood studs or concrete block and putting up a brand-new three-coat plaster system. This process includes tearing off the old lath, hanging fresh weather-resistant barrier paper, installing metal lath, and applying a scratch coat, brown coat, and finish color coat. Los Angeles Stucco Services provides Stucco Replacement as a total reset for your home's exterior in Sherman Oaks, CA.
Los Angeles Stucco Services starts every Stucco Replacement by setting up containment to keep dust and debris off your property. Once we tear off the failing stucco, we inspect the underlying framing for any hidden rot or termite damage. If we find bad wood, we fix it or replace it before moving forward. Property owners do not want to trap rot behind new walls.
Sherman Oaks weather swings from hot, dry summers to heavy winter rains, and old stucco takes a beating from that cycle. When water gets behind cracked plaster, it has nowhere to go and starts rotting your framing from the inside out. Stucco Replacement stops leaks permanently and gives you a clean slate that handles valley heat and seasonal moisture without cracking.
Homeowners frequently ask if they can just patch over the bad spots instead of doing a full Stucco Replacement. If your stucco is delaminating, bulging, or cracking across multiple walls, patching is just throwing money away. A full Stucco Replacement gives you a structurally sound wall with a uniform texture and color that will not peel or flake off in two years.
Los Angeles Stucco Services uses traditional Portland cement plaster for our Stucco Replacement projects because it stands up to local conditions better than synthetic acrylic finishes. Once the final color coat cures, your house is sealed tight against the elements. We haul away all debris and leave your yard cleaner than we found it. For homes in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles Stucco Services is here for all your Stucco Replacement needs.

Los Angeles Stucco Services provides Stucco Replacement for homes throughout Sherman Oaks, CA.
