Stucco & Exterior Repair in Temple City
Temple City stucco repair for ranch houses on deep lots: rear additions, long driveway walls and sun-worn plaster repaired and recoated.
Temple City ranch houses usually sit on deep lots, many with rear additions or a second unit at the back. The stucco on these properties shows its age in sun-worn color, cracked corners and seams where additions meet the original house. We repair the seams and corners properly and refinish so the original house, the addition and any back unit share one look.
Additions on deep lots
Rear additions here often run a long way back, joined to the original house along a roofline and a wall seam. If the paper was not lapped and the roof-to-wall flashing was skipped, the seam cracks and the ceiling inside stains. We open the seam, install step and counterflashing where the roofs meet, lap the paper so water drains outward and set a control joint where the two structures move apart. Back units get the same check, especially where they share a wall with a garage.
Sun-worn walls
Long walls facing the afternoon sun chalk, fade and crack finely. Once the seams and corners are sound, a flexible coating or color coat across the house bridges the hairlines and brings every building on the lot to the same color. We prime patched areas first so they do not ghost through. Fascia and eaves dried by the sun are repaired before painting. Samples brushed onto the wall help owners pick a shade that works in strong light. Gutters are cleaned first.
Stucco & Exterior in Temple City: questions
Along the seam of a rear addition, a patch rarely holds, because flashing or lapping is usually missing. On the original walls, small cracks patch well, and a recoat after the repairs gives the whole lot a consistent finish.
The length of addition seams, roof-to-wall flashing, wall area for the coating across the house and any back unit, and fascia repairs set the price. The house, the addition and any back unit are priced one by one. Permits are noted where needed.
Yes, along addition seams and where roofs meet walls. Readings trace the spread of moisture, and a small cut shows the flashing, which puts any framing work into the quote up front. Photos are included.
