Get Your Free EstimateStucco Replacement is the complete removal of your home's old, cracked, or crumbling exterior plaster down to the bare framing, followed by the installation of a brand-new, durable three-coat stucco system. This heavy-duty process includes stripping away the damaged lath and scratch coat, inspecting the underlying wood studs or sheathing for hidden rot or water damage, installing fresh weather-resistant moisture barriers, putting up new metal lath, and finally spraying or hand- troweling the scratch, brown, and finish coats. Thousand Oaks Stucco & Plastering does this work right here in Thousand Oaks, where shifting soils and blistering heat can take a serious toll on older exterior walls.
When we take on a Stucco Replacement project for your house near Wildwood Regional Park or down off Thousand Oaks Boulevard, we start by setting up heavy-duty dust containment and protecting your favorite landscaping. Old stucco does not give up easily, so our crew uses specialized demolition hammers to carefully peel away the heavy plaster without shaking your windows loose. We haul all the heavy debris away immediately so your driveway stays clear and usable while the work progresses.
Once the framing is bare, we take a good hard look at what is underneath. Homes built back in the seventies and eighties around Thousand Oaks often hide minor moisture intrusion behind the walls, especially near window frames and rooflines. We replace any water-damaged wood framing on the spot before wrapping the house in modern building paper and wire lath. Skipping this step is how cheap contractors fail, but as your neighbors, Thousand Oaks Stucco & Plastering believes in doing Stucco Replacement right the first time so your walls stay bone-dry for decades.
The new plaster application follows standard curing schedules tailored to our local humidity and temperature. We apply the scratch coat and let it cure properly before moving on to the brown coat, ensuring a rock-solid foundation that will not buckle or crack when the seasonal temperature swings hit the Conejo Valley. You get to choose a finish texture and color that matches the character of your neighborhood, whether you prefer a clean smooth dash or a traditional Spanish lace texture.
Homeowners often worry about how long the Stucco Replacement process takes and how much of their yard will be blocked off. A typical single-family home Stucco Replacement takes anywhere from one to three weeks depending on the square footage and whether we find hidden framing repairs behind the old walls. We keep you updated every step of the way, making sure you always know what crew is showing up and what part of the house we are working on next. For homes and businesses in Thousand Oaks, Thousand Oaks Stucco & Plastering provides Stucco Replacement services.
Patching a crack in your stucco might work for a season, but homes facing the dry hills of Thousand Oaks experience heavy thermal expansion that quickly tears open old band-aid repairs. When moisture gets trapped behind multiple layers of old patches, the water has nowhere to go, leading to hidden rot in your framing.
Our local climate features hot, sunny summers and chilly winter nights that cause exterior building materials to expand and contract daily. If your stucco is more than thirty years old, the original wire lath beneath the surface may be rusting out, causing the whole exterior shell to lose its mechanical bond to the house.
Replacing the entire system resets the clock on your home exterior protection. You get modern moisture barriers, heavy-duty wire lath, and fresh plaster engineered to handle local environmental stressors without letting water seep into your living space.
