Stucco & Exterior Repair in Claremont
Claremont stucco and plaster repair for period and mid-century homes: original finishes matched, glass walls detailed and city review handled.
Claremont values its tree-lined streets and older architecture, and its review process looks closely at exterior changes. Period houses here carry hand-applied plaster, and mid-century homes have smooth walls broken by large glass. Hot summers wear down both. We match original finishes exactly, detail the openings that let water in and prepare what the city needs to see.
Period plaster
Older plaster on craftsman and revival houses was usually applied by hand in a texture that is hard to copy with modern tools. We sample the existing finish, make up test boards and adjust until the match holds in both shade and sun. Failed sections over old lath are rebuilt on new lath with paper behind, and cracks at windows are reinforced before refinishing. The city's review looks at how repairs appear from the street, so samples and photos are included with the request.
Mid-century walls
Mid-century houses pair smooth stucco with wide windows and sliders, often set without sill pans. Water collects at the sills and stains the wall below. When glass is replaced, we install pans and flashing before the plaster closes around the frame. Smooth walls are refinished out to a corner or joint so repairs vanish. A pale finish coat helps these low houses stay cooler in summer, and we coordinate the color with the original design where the owner wants it kept.
Stucco & Exterior in Claremont: questions
On period plaster that is still bonded, a hand-matched patch works. Where the lath has failed, a section rebuild is needed. On smooth mid-century walls, we refinish out to a corner so the repair does not show.
Finish matching, lath repair, sill and flashing work at large openings and preparing material for the city's review set the price. Every part is priced alone, which shows what each decision costs. Review fees are shown separately.
Yes. We tap older plaster for hollow areas and meter below wide windows. Where readings run high, a small cut confirms them, and those photos travel with both the review request and the quote. Nothing is assumed.
