Just like other detailed trades, the installation of stucco requires a true craftsman that knows not only how to make it look attractive, but how to correctly install it in the first place. Stucco is quite heavy, so it must have the proper substrate in order for it to adhere properly. The substrate is also beneficial for the moisture to effectively drain and allowing the stucco to dry and to insulate. If the preparation and the installation aren’t done correctly, the stucco won’t stay where it belongs. Once the appropriate stucco is chosen for the application, including the color and texture, it must be mixed to the correct consistency. Only experience local stucco contractors understand the interaction between the weather, the material and when the stucco is ready.

Stucco has been one of the most popular choices for exterior wall finishes for decades. Whether you are looking to renovate your home or commercial building or if you are considering new construction, there are many benefits that come with stucco. It is one of the most visually appealing and durable ways to finish and protect any building.

One of the most common types of stucco damage is water damage, especially in older buildings. Some signs of water damage may include:
  • Staining - Stucco turns a darker color when it gets wet, so the staining may remain after the stucco has dried. Staining typically looks like dark blotches or hazy white streaks in the color. It is also the first sign of a water problem and without stucco repair Los Angeles residents may face more extensive problems.
  • Efflorescence - This typically occurs right after staining. It is a powdery, fuzzy, white deposit on the surface of the material. Efflorescence is caused when water seeps through a stucco wall and as it moves through the wall, it dissolves salts, which leave the white substance.
  • Blistering - When a stucco wall is subjected to extensive amounts of water for a long period of time; the efflorescence may lead to blistering, which is caused from the salts expanding behind the stucco surface.
  • Mold - If stucco remains damp and doesn’t get much sunlight, mold can grow. Surface mold can typically be treated through removal and cleaning, but it’s important to address the cause of the mold and contact local stucco companies to provide the stucco with protection from moisture.​
