How we handle stucco painting in La Habra
Inspect
We walk the walls looking for hairline cracks, chalking, peeling and stains, and note how the stucco is weathering.
Wash
The stucco is washed to lift dirt, chalk and mildew, because paint will not hold on a dusty surface.
Repair
Hairline cracks are filled and caulk is renewed around windows, doors and trim. Larger cracks are flagged for stucco repair.
Prime
Patched spots and bare stucco get primer so the color coat dries evenly.
Coat
Acrylic paint or an elastomeric coating is worked into the texture by roller or sprayer, in the number of coats your estimate states.
Walkthrough
We check coverage in the texture with you and touch up any missed spots.
Stucco Painting in La Habra: what to expect
La Habra has many single-story tract homes from the mid-twentieth century, along with some newer neighborhoods on the hillsides.
Many La Habra homes have stucco walls with wood trim, which often calls for crack repair on the walls and scraping and priming on the trim.
La Habra's inland climate means hot, dry summers, and stucco and wood trim take a lot of sun.
Many La Habra homes are not in an HOA, but some newer hillside communities are, so tell us about any color guidelines up front.
We paint and stain homes throughout La Habra, including Central La Habra, Westridge, in ZIP codes 90631, 90632.
Timing and tips for La Habra homeowners
We don’t publish flat prices because every home is different. Your written estimate itemizes the surfaces, prep, products and coats for your La Habra home. See the stucco painting overview for the full list of what affects cost.
Best timing
Spring and fall are comfortable painting seasons in La Habra, and we avoid the hottest afternoons on west-facing walls.
A local tip
Mid-century homes often have simple lines, so a two- or three-color scheme can modernize the look without a major remodel.
Stucco Painting in La Habra: common questions
What colors work for a stucco home in La Habra?
Stucco takes color differently than smooth siding, so we put sample patches on your own wall and look at them in morning and afternoon light before you decide.
Should I use acrylic paint or an elastomeric coating?
It depends on your walls. Acrylic is breathable and comes in many colors. Elastomeric is thicker and more flexible, and can bridge hairline cracks, but it is heavier and less breathable. We'll look at your walls and tell you which suits them.
Can you paint over cracks in stucco?
Hairline cracks can be filled and painted over. Larger or structural cracks need stucco repair first, and we'll tell you which you have when we walk the house.
How soon can I paint new stucco?
New stucco generally needs time to cure before it is painted. Tell us when it was applied and we'll advise you on timing.
