Specialty
Stucco, siding and exterior envelope work
Design-build Stucco & Exterior for homeowners across Southern California, handled by one in-house team from drawings to final inspection.
Stucco & Exterior, in short
Stucco is Southern California's default skin, and most of what goes wrong with it is water finding a path at the joints, around windows, at the roofline, at the foundation weep screed. The surface crack is usually the symptom, not the problem.
Match is the hard part
Patching stucco is easy; making the patch invisible is craft. Texture, aggregate and finish coat all have to match the existing wall, and on older homes that texture may not have been standard for decades. We sample and match before committing to a repair everyone will stare at for years.
Additions have to read as original
Where an addition meets the existing structure, the stucco transition is what makes the project look built-with-the-house or bolted-on. Lath continuity, control joints and texture blending across the joint are specification items, not things left to whoever holds the hawk that day.
The envelope is a system
Stucco, flashing, weep screed, building paper and the openings all work together or fail together. When we open an exterior wall inside a remodel, the waterproofing details get corrected to current standard, closing a wall over a known defect is how contractors end up back on site in three winters.

Common questions
Stucco & Exterior, what to expect
- Do you provide a written scope before work starts?
- Always. The proposal lists what is included, what is excluded, the materials allowance and the payment schedule. Nothing starts on a handshake.
- Who pulls the permit?
- We do, as the licensed contractor of record. You are not filing anything with the city yourself.
- What happens if something unexpected turns up mid-project?
- Older homes hide things, undersized panels, failed framing, non-permitted prior work. When we find something, work stops on that item, we show you what we found and price the fix as a written change order before continuing.
