How we handle stucco painting in Irvine
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 Irvine: what to expect
Irvine is largely made up of planned villages, with stucco homes, tile roofs and consistent architectural styles.
Planned-community homes are mostly stucco with tight color rules, so we match approved palettes and plan crack repair and caulking around them.
Irvine's inland planned communities get strong sun and some marine layer, so exterior surfaces face both fading and occasional moisture.
Most Irvine neighborhoods have an HOA with design review and approved exterior color palettes, so approval is usually the first step.
We paint and stain homes throughout Irvine, including Woodbridge, Northwood, Turtle Rock, Orchard Hills, in ZIP codes 92602, 92603, 92604, 92606, 92612, 92614, 92618, 92620.
Timing and tips for Irvine homeowners
We don’t publish flat prices because every home is different. Your written estimate itemizes the surfaces, prep, products and coats for your Irvine home. See the stucco painting overview for the full list of what affects cost.
Best timing
In Irvine we schedule work after HOA approval is in hand and plan around marine layer and the occasional hot, dry spell.
A local tip
Ask your HOA whether it needs a paint chip, sample board or signed form, and bring that to the walkthrough so we can help.
Stucco Painting in Irvine: common questions
Do I need HOA approval to repaint my Irvine home?
In most Irvine neighborhoods, yes. Your association has an approved palette and approval process, and exterior color changes usually need sign-off before work starts. We paint to the approved palette.
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.
