Get Your Free EstimateStucco redashing means putting a new finish coat right over your home's existing, solid stucco. We start by getting the surface really clean, then put on a bonding agent, and finally, carefully apply a fresh, colored finish coat. It’s a smart, affordable way to give your home's exterior a facelift, fix things like fading or small cracks, and make it last longer against the weather.
We kick things off with a good look at your existing stucco to make sure redashing is even the right move. We're checking for any peeling, big cracks, or water getting in; if we find those, you'd need a bigger repair or even a replacement, wouldn't you? Once we're sure, we clean the surface thoroughly, getting rid of any loose bits, dirt, or white mineral deposits. This step is super important because it helps the new materials stick properly, which is key for the redash to last.
For homes here in West Covina, redashing is especially helpful. Think about all that strong sun and those occasional temperature swings we get. The new finish coat adds extra UV protection, stopping the stucco underneath from fading and breaking down too soon. It also seals up those tiny hairline cracks. That's a big deal, because it keeps water out, preventing bigger, more expensive issues later on — especially with our region's periodic heavy rains.
Folks often ask us about matching colors and different texture options. We've got plenty of color samples, and we'll work with you to pick a finish that really fits your home's look and your own taste. Textures can go from super smooth to various sand finishes, so you can totally change how your home looks. We use either high-quality acrylic or traditional cement-based finish coats, depending on what's already there and what you're hoping for. Both types are made to stand up to the elements really well.
Stucco redashing is super important for homes here in West Covina. Why? Because it directly tackles all the wear and tear our local climate throws at them. That intense Southern California sun, for instance, really fades stucco and makes it brittle over time. That means it starts looking dull and doesn't protect your house as well. A fresh finish coat brings back that vibrant color and adds a new layer of UV resistance, which really helps your exterior last longer.
But it's not just about looks; redashing also creates a vital barrier against moisture. We see dry spells, then periods of rain here in West Covina, and that can really stress stucco surfaces. Tiny hairline cracks, the kind you often can't even spot from a distance, let water sneak in. This can lead to mildew, or even structural damage if you just let it go. Redashing seals up these small flaws, making your stucco much better at keeping water out.
And hey, redashing can seriously boost your home's curb appeal and property value. A refreshed exterior makes a great first impression, whether you're thinking of selling or just want to enjoy a well-kept home. It's a smart investment, protecting your biggest asset from the specific environmental challenges we face right here in West Covina.
We conduct a thorough inspection of the existing stucco to identify any underlying issues like delamination or extensive cracking. The surface is then power washed to remove dirt, loose paint, and efflorescence, ensuring a clean, sound substrate for the new finish.
A specialized acrylic bonding agent is applied evenly across the prepared stucco surface. This step is critical for promoting strong adhesion between the old stucco and the new finish coat, preventing future delamination and ensuring a lasting bond.
The chosen finish coat, whether acrylic or traditional cement-based, is applied by hand using trowels or sprayed, depending on the desired texture. We ensure uniform coverage and consistent texture across all surfaces for a seamless and professional appearance.
The new stucco finish is allowed to cure properly, which typically takes several days depending on ambient temperature and humidity. We then conduct a final walkthrough with you to ensure the finished product meets our high standards and your expectations.
