Restore your Chino Hills home's exterior with a durable, expertly installed stucco replacement system built to last.
Get Your Free EstimateStucco replacement is the complete removal of an existing stucco system, often due to extensive cracking, delamination, water intrusion, or structural damage, followed by the installation of a new, code-compliant stucco finish. This process typically includes stripping the old stucco, inspecting the underlying sheathing and framing for damage, applying a new weather-resistive barrier, installing lath, and then applying multiple coats of cementitious stucco, culminating in a durable finish coat.
Our approach begins with a thorough assessment of your existing stucco system to identify the root causes of failure. We then carefully remove all compromised material, ensuring we expose a sound substrate. This critical step allows us to address any hidden issues, like dry rot or mold, before we begin the new application. We prioritize proper flashing details around windows and doors, which is often a key point of failure in older installations, to prevent future water penetration.
For Chino Hills properties, proper stucco replacement is particularly important due to the area's climate, which can feature hot, dry summers and occasional heavy rains. These fluctuations stress exterior materials. An improperly installed or failing stucco system can lead to significant moisture damage within the wall cavity, which means costly repairs later. Our methodology accounts for thermal expansion and contraction, using appropriate expansion joints and material mixes designed for local conditions.
Homeowners often worry about the disruption and duration of a full stucco replacement. We manage projects efficiently, segmenting work areas to minimize impact on your daily life. We also address concerns about material choices, explaining the benefits of traditional cementitious stucco versus synthetic options for durability and maintenance, helping you make an informed decision for your property's long-term health.
We use high-quality materials, such as ASTM C926 compliant portland cement, graded sand, and fiber additives for increased crack resistance. Our systems typically include two layers of Grade D building paper or a synthetic house wrap as a weather-resistive barrier, followed by self-furring metal lath. The three-coat system—scratch, brown, and finish—is applied to precise thicknesses, ensuring structural integrity and a uniform appearance. We also offer elastomeric finish coats for added flexibility and crack resistance.
Expert stucco replacement is crucial in Chino Hills because the region's climate and specific building practices demand a robust, properly installed exterior. Our hot, dry summers followed by periods of rain can cause materials to expand and contract significantly, leading to cracking and delamination if the stucco system isn't designed and applied correctly. This means a poorly executed replacement will fail prematurely, exposing your home to the elements.
Many older Chino Hills homes may have stucco systems installed before modern building codes or without adequate attention to critical details like proper flashing and weep screeds. These deficiencies create pathways for water intrusion, which can lead to hidden damage like wood rot, mold growth, and structural compromise. A complete replacement allows us to rectify these historical issues, installing a system that meets current standards and provides superior moisture management.
Investing in a professional stucco replacement protects your home's structural integrity and its value. A failing stucco exterior not only looks bad but also signals potential underlying problems to prospective buyers. A new, correctly installed stucco system acts as a durable shield against the elements, maintains consistent indoor temperatures, and significantly boosts your property's curb appeal, which is a key factor in the competitive Chino Hills real estate market.
We begin with a thorough inspection of your existing stucco, identifying areas of damage, potential water intrusion points, and assessing the underlying substrate. This step informs our precise scope of work and material selection.
Old, damaged stucco is carefully removed down to the sheathing, and the exposed substrate is inspected for any hidden rot or damage. We repair or replace compromised sheathing and framing to ensure a solid foundation for the new stucco system.
We install a new weather-resistive barrier, apply metal lath, and meticulously install flashing around all openings. Multiple coats of cementitious stucco (scratch, brown, and finish) are then applied to precise thicknesses, allowing proper cure times between layers.
The final finish coat is applied, incorporating your chosen texture and color. After curing, we conduct a detailed cleanup of the work area, ensuring your property is left spotless and your new stucco is ready to perform.
