Stucco & Exterior Repair in Lomita
Lomita stucco repair on compact homes with several additions: roof-to-wall seams, mismatched textures and cracked corners rebuilt and matched.
Many Lomita houses have grown in stages, and each addition brought its own stucco, sometimes in a different texture or over different backing. The result is a wall with seams, mismatched patches and roof-to-wall joints that leak. We open the seams that are failing, rebuild them with proper paper and flashing and then even out texture and color so the house looks like one building again.
Roof-to-wall joints
Where a lower roof meets a taller wall, the stucco should sit over counterflashing that laps the roof flashing below it. On many additions that detail was skipped, and water runs down the wall behind the plaster. Stains on the ceiling under the joint, or cracks running along the roofline, are the signs. We remove a band of stucco above the roof, install step and counterflashing correctly with a kick-out at the eave, then rebuild the plaster. That one repair often stops a leak that keeps coming back inside.
Evening out textures
Different additions often carry different finishes: a heavy lace texture on one wall, a smooth float finish on another. If you want one look, we can skim and retexture walls to a single finish once cracks and seams are repaired, or match each section to its neighbor where the difference is minor. A color coat at the end unifies everything. The quote shows texture work separately, since it is a choice about appearance on top of the repairs needed to keep water out.
Stucco & Exterior in Lomita: questions
For a crack in an original wall, often yes. Along roof-to-wall joints and seams between additions, cracks return after patching because the flashing or paper underneath is missing, so those seams get opened up and rebuilt before anything else.
It depends on how many roof-to-wall joints and addition seams need rebuilding, wall area, any retexturing and the final color coat. Repairs and cosmetic work carry separate prices, letting owners choose each on its merits. Color samples are included.
Yes, particularly at roof joints and addition seams. Moisture readings and a small opening show us whether flashing exists and whether framing is wet, which decides the scope and the cost. Photos go with the quote.
