Our Services
Residential Stucco Installation
Locked in color
Cement and lime add color directly into the mixture. This makes the color part of the mixture. Our stucco siding services will add a level of color- enrichment to your siding, reducing the tedious work of repainting your exterior now and then.
Application process
Stucco is applied in layers making it a time consuming, labor-intensive process that needs to be done by skilled pros. The house structure determines the application process. Block and concrete walls require fewer coats of traditional stucco compared to wood-framed walls. We apply coats of stucco in layers and allow each layer to set, thus making the siding of your building thick.
Customization
Stucco is applied by hand, giving room for customization. We will texturize your stucco in different styles to create stylish embellishments.
Traditional stucco
We apply stucco in three layers to wood-frame exterior walls:
- We will apply the scratch coat on the metal lath attached to your house exterior sheathing.
- Then we will apply the brown coat. This adds strength and serves as a base for the finish coat.
- Finally, we use the hand-trowel on the finish coat to create custom surface texture.
Seamless seal
Stucco gives your home a seamless seal compared to other exterior cladding options. We will protect your house against snow rain with our stucco services, ensuring your building is airtight.
One-coat stucco
This is a relatively new service whereby we mix stucco with fiberglass and apply it over metal lath.
Fire resistance
Stucco acts as a layer for fire resistance in your home. We will apply a three-coat application of cement-based or lime stucco siding that gives your home a one-hour fire rating.
Two-coat stucco
We apply two-coat stucco on the block, brick, and concrete walls. The existing masonry renders the scratch coat unnecessary. In addition, we do not apply the stucco over a metal latch but use bonding adhesive before applying the two coats.
Stucco Painting
Stucco can be painted with a variety of colors to compliment your landscape and suit your preference. You can use any shade from traditional earth tones, broad and bright or a darker hue than the existing stucco color. Depending on the age and style of stucco, we recommend that you use,
- Elastomeric coatings that can stretch and are flexible
- Eggshell, flat, or satin paint finish.
- Ordinary two coat external painting method.
Stucco is a popular external finish for homes as it looks good and requires low maintenance. By hiring our professional painters, your stucco will get unique advantages.
Cover stains
Painting can cover and block water and rusting stains that run vertically on your stucco. Our professionals will ensure you never see the stains again for years.
Protection from Resist UV rays
Ultraviolet rays reduce the durability of the exterior stucco leading to cracks in masonry and structural damage. It impairs the functionality of stucco. Therefore, we will paint your stucco to deflect the damaging UV rays and keep the exterior wall adequately insulated and protected.
Seal moisture
Painting prevents the stucco from absorbing water and turning dark. In addition, when we paint your stucco, the paint will seal the material, preventing moisture from penetrating. That will keep your stucco color consistent even when it rains. Using the right pain ensures the stucco stays waterproof and no damp spots. We use paint explicitly manufactured for exterior painting of stuccos to keep your stucco weather resistant. It gives your house an attractive appearance for years to come.
Seal hairline cracks
Cracks on the stucco lead to severe damages that are costly to repair if not taken care of early. Painting your stucco with high-quality thick paint will fill the hairlines with paint film. We will fill large cracks in the stucco with masonry patching or exterior caulk before painting.
Curb appeal
Painting a stucco home gives it a refreshing look. Our stucco painting services give you solutions to improve the appearance of your exterior walls to whether you want you to sell it or give it a great look. The right stucco paint will attract your neighbors, homebuyers, and visitors as it creates a classic and attractive look that will stand the test of time.
Hairline cracks
Stuccos crack due to settling and expansion of soil, foundation and the house. If ignored, hairlines will allow moisture to enter at the back of the stucco, leading to water damage or rot. Therefore, we will fill large hairline cracks with textured caulk before painting.
White powder or white streaks
Effervescence is an indication of water damage at the back of the stucco. As the water moves through the stucco, it dissolves the salt, and as it evaporates, it leaves the soil behind. We will help you cover the stains as you fix the root problem.
Cracking, blistering, peeling, and mold
These eyesores need to be covered, but before that, you need to investigate the cause. At Salinas Stucco Pros, the sky’s the limit when it comes to your complete stucco painting solutions. So call us today and let us help you let your imagination run wild.
Sandblast & Re-Stucco
Benefits of sandblasting
Sandblasting is an effective method of cleaning, smoothening, or stripping a surface. We use a nozzle blaster that pushes fine sand out at high speeds directly onto surfaces removing grime, dirt, and unwanted particles.
We use sandblasting to:
Remove plaster: We use sandblast on surfaces to remove plasters and stucco. We mix the air with water to reduce dust.
Remove paint: also, we use sandblast on surfaces to provide a better surface for the new coat of pain.
Why should you call us for sandblasting?
When completed by our professional sandblasters, your business enjoys a quick turnaround. Cleaning a surface takes time depending on the size of the surface and if done manually. Sandblasting does this in a matter of minutes by blasting away the pollutants from the surface. Our blasting services will also help you smoothen the surfaces so that painting can go on without rough spots to give a good look. This is true when you want to paint a surface with accumulated layers of paint over the years. The more you paint a surface, the more it is common to see rough spots and bumps, making the final work less appealing.
Sandblasting is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. It is harmless to the environment and individuals around unless a pollutant is added to the blasting equipment. We use specific sandblasting products that have shown to be safe if inhaled. The materials can also be disposed of safely without causing harm to the environment. Our Salina CA stucco professionals will lay a tarp beneath the surface when sandblasting to make cleaning easy. Then, after blasting, we remove the excess material and clean the tarp.
Re-stuccoing
Re-stuccoing your house addresses the problems of deterioration and cosmetics. We will seal the repair works with a color that allows for a solid finished product without the patch look. Our secret lies in our preparation and repair. It allows us to give our clients a lasting finish. In addition, the expertise we have gathered over the years enables us to use the best products and procedures for renovation before re-stuccoing.
Stucco Repair
Stucco stain
White streaks or brown stains along your stucco siding indicates stucco damage. It can be because of a missing or poorly installed flashing. Discoloration shows that moisture is trapped in the stucco. Darker areas indicate where moisture got in, whereas black or brown damage could be mold. Never paint over these problems or ignore them. Instead, call us for a professional inspection. At Salina CA stucco & painting company, we repair, prime and paint stuccos to give it a complete restoration.
Cracked stucco
There is no cause for alarm over small hairline cracks. They may be the result of minor impacts or weather factors that lead to cracking. However, jagged and large cracks should be a cause of concern. This happens due to water damage or faulty stucco installation. In addition, house problems like settling and expanding can lead to this problem. Finally, moisture behind the stucco causes the stucco to crack or crumble. Our professionals have the expertise needed to repair your stucco when unsightly cracks start forming along your stucco siding.
Moss on stucco
Shaded areas near vegetation and splashes of moisture encourage the growth of moss. This lowers the curb appeal and exposes the structure to future risks. In addition, moss can allow moisture and mold to grow behind the stucco. Talk to us to find out what is causing the moss to colonize.
Extended stuccos
Extended stucco is stucco applied below the house foundation. Stucco needs at least two inches of space to drain correctly. If stucco is denied this space, it traps moisture and water, leading to the formation of rot, mold, crumbling and cracking. The stucco might even soak moisture from the ground. If you have concerns over extended stucco, contact us immediately for professional help.
Missing chunks or chips of stucco
Water damage underneath the stucco leads to surface damage. If you notice your stucco breaks or tear off, call our Salina CA stucco pros for investigations and repair.
Windows caulk cracking and gapping
Water intrusion is common around the window and caulking near them. If you check your windows and you find damages, call us for stucco repair. So if your stucco solution is looking a bit worse for wear, give us a call today. We have just the right custom solution for you.
