When your home exterior starts looking tired, faded, or beaten down by the heavy salt air rolling off Linda Mar, Stucco Redashing is usually the best way to bring it back to life without starting from scratch. Over the years running Majestic Stucco Inc, our team has heard just about every question a homeowner can ask regarding Stucco Redashing. We will walk through the most common concerns right here for properties in Pacifica, California.
What exactly is stucco redashing?
Stucco Redashing acts as giving your home a brand-new skin. Instead of tearing off the entire multi-layer cement system down to the wood framing, Majestic Stucco Inc applies a fresh, bonding coat of cement plaster directly over your existing, sound stucco base. Stucco Redashing covers up hairline cracks, old patched areas, and decades of weathering, leaving you with a uniform, watertight finish that looks completely brand new in Pacifica, CA.
How do I know if my home needs a redash or a full tear-off?
Stucco Redashing versus a full tear-off comes down to what is happening underneath the surface. If your current stucco is structurally solid, adheres tightly to the lath, and only shows surface cracking or cosmetic weathering, Stucco Redashing is the way to go. But if you have widespread hollow spots, major moisture intrusion, or rotting lath from years of fog and driving rain in neighborhoods like Pedro Point, patching will not cut it. Majestic Stucco Inc has to strip it down to the framing and rebuild the waterproof barrier properly.
How long does a typical redash project take?
Most residential Stucco Redashing jobs take anywhere from 3 to 7 days, depending on the square footage and weather cooperation. Majestic Stucco Inc has to factor in power-washing, surface preparation, applying the bonding agent, spraying or hand-trowelling the new finish coat, and letting it cure correctly. Rushing any of these steps on the coast of Pacifica is asking for future delamination.
Will a redash stop cracks from coming back?
Stucco Redashing will seal existing hairline cracking and give you a clean slate, but no plaster is completely immune to movement. Pacifica experiences plenty of temperature swings and moisture expansion. Majestic Stucco Inc uses high-grade polymer-modified mixes and reinforcing mesh where necessary to bridge movement areas and minimize future cracking as much as physically possible.
Can I choose any texture or color I want?
Yes. Most homeowners along the coast prefer a clean sand finish or a smooth Santa Barbara finish, though Majestic Stucco Inc can match existing textures if you are only doing a partial elevation. Color can be mixed directly into the finish coat or painted over once the plaster has fully cured and dried out.
