Stucco & Exterior Repair in Alhambra
Alhambra stucco repair for revival bungalows and small multi-unit buildings: arched openings, old patches and garage conversions fixed.
Alhambra has many Spanish revival bungalows and small multi-unit buildings, all in stucco, on modest lots with garages at the back. Arched openings crack at their springing points, earlier patches show, and converted garages bring new seams. The city has its own building department. We repair the plaster on houses and small buildings alike, matching textures and fixing the details behind the cracks.
Arches and revival details
Revival bungalows here often have arched windows and doorways, clay tile vents and a front porch with plaster columns. Arches split at the point where curve turns into wall, and tile vents leak when nothing sits behind them to stop water. Cracked arches are rebuilt by hand with mesh across the stress points, reset vents with flashing and repair columns where water has soaked their bases. The texture is matched to the original, which is often troweled by hand. Porch steps are checked too.
Garages and small buildings
Garages at the back of the lot are frequently converted into living space or second units, and their old stucco usually has to be rebuilt to serve as a house wall. We check for paper behind the plaster, rebuild where it is missing and flash every new opening. On small multi-unit buildings, exterior stairs and landings get inspected for wet framing. Each building on the lot is priced separately, so an owner can plan the work around tenants and budgets.
Stucco & Exterior in Alhambra: questions
On plain wall areas of a revival bungalow, often yes, matched by hand. At arches and tile vents, the stress or the missing flashing has to be dealt with first. On a garage being converted, the walls usually need rebuilding to serve as living space.
Arch and detail repairs, wall area, garage or outbuilding walls and any stair repairs on multi-unit buildings set the price. Each building and each type of repair is listed separately. Tenant scheduling is planned with you.
Yes. We read moisture around arches and vents, check stair framing on multi-unit buildings and open a small area where needed. On garages, we confirm whether any paper exists behind the old plaster. Photos come with the quote.
