Stucco & Exterior Repair in San Dimas
San Dimas stucco repair for ranch and horse properties: barns and garages, patio covers and fire-safe walls near the foothills.
San Dimas ranch and horse properties often have a house, a barn and a garage all finished in stucco, set near foothills where fire risk is real. Porches and patio covers built off the house let water into its walls, and the summer sun wears down every surface. We repair the plaster across the property, fix the connections that leak and close openings embers could use.
Porches and patio covers
Ranch houses here often have long porches and patio covers attached to the walls. When their ledgers were bolted through the stucco without flashing, water has been running behind them every storm since. We remove the ledger or support the cover, install a membrane and cap flashing and refasten it with a drainage gap, or stand the cover on posts of its own. Any soft framing behind it is replaced. The plaster is then rebuilt and textured to match the rest of the wall.
Barns, garages and fire
Barns and garages are surveyed with the house, since a damaged outbuilding can pass fire along. We include them in the survey and repair them to the same standard: loose plaster replaced, ember-blocking vents installed and open eaves sealed. Hay and feed stored against walls is pointed out, since it gives embers fuel. The sunny walls of every building get a flexible coating to seal the heat cracks. Each building is priced separately, so the house can be done first.
Stucco & Exterior in San Dimas: questions
On sound plaster away from porches and patio covers, often yes. Under a ledger that was never flashed, the leak comes first. Near the foothills, damaged plaster should be rebuilt completely to keep embers out.
Ledger and porch repairs, plaster on each building, fire-safety upgrades and the final coating make up the price. We price each building separately, which makes it simple to work through the property in stages. Photos come with it.
Yes. Under ledgers we meter and cut a small opening to see the framing, and on outbuildings we check whether paper exists behind the plaster. Those two findings shape most of the work. Photos support the findings.
