How we handle stucco painting in Orange
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 Orange: what to expect
Old Towne Orange is known for early-20th-century bungalows and Craftsman-style homes, while other parts of the city have mid-century ranch homes and newer tract developments.
Older Orange homes often have wood siding and detailed trim that need careful scraping, sanding and priming, while newer homes are mostly stucco that needs crack repair first.
Inland Orange has hot, dry summers and occasional Santa Ana winds, which dry out and fade exterior paint, especially on south- and west-facing walls.
Homes in or near the Old Towne historic district may have design guidelines for exterior changes, and many newer neighborhoods have HOAs with approved color palettes.
We paint and stain homes throughout Orange, including Old Towne Orange, Orange Park Acres, El Modena, in ZIP codes 92865, 92866, 92867, 92868, 92869.
Timing and tips for Orange homeowners
We don’t publish flat prices because every home is different. Your written estimate itemizes the surfaces, prep, products and coats for your Orange home. See the stucco painting overview for the full list of what affects cost.
Best timing
Fall and spring are usually the easiest painting windows in Orange, with milder temperatures; we avoid the hottest afternoons and windy Santa Ana days.
A local tip
In Old Towne, look closely at your trim before choosing colors, since a contrasting trim shade can show off original woodwork.
Stucco Painting in Orange: common questions
Do I need approval to repaint a home in Old Towne Orange?
Homes in historic districts may have guidelines for exterior colors and materials, so check with the City of Orange before you commit to a color. We can help you prepare samples to show, and we paint to the approved palette.
Can you paint stucco?
Yes. Stucco takes paint well when it is clean and sound. We wash it, fill hairline cracks, caulk gaps and prime bare spots first, so the new coating bonds.
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.
