Property owners in Glendale, CA often want to give their exterior a fresh look without a full tear-down. Redashing is a very good route for this, but property owners always have many questions before starting the project. Over many years of working on homes across Glendale, CA, our team has heard just about every concern imaginable.
These are the straight answers to the most common questions Glendale Stucco & Plastering receives about the Stucco Redashing process.
What actually is Stucco Redashing?
Stucco Redashing means applying a brand-new finish coat right over your existing, structurally sound Stucco wall. Think of it like a brand new skin for your house. Glendale Stucco & Plastering cleans the old surface, fixes any minor cracks or imperfections, applies a bonding agent, and trowels on a fresh layer of Stucco Finish Coat colored or textured however you want.
How is Stucco Redashing different from a full tear-off?
A full replacement involves stripping everything down to the wood framing or concrete blocks, replacing the lath, and building up three brand-new coats of Stucco. Stucco Redashing skips the demolition phase entirely. If your underlying base coat is solid and you are just dealing with fading, surface weathering, or minor hairline cracking common in our dry Southern California climate, Stucco Redashing saves you a massive amount of time and money.
Can Stucco Redashing fix deep cracks and structural damage?
No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to take your money. If your walls have deep structural cracks, crumbling bases, or hidden moisture intrusion behind the lath, a simple surface Stucco Redash will just crack right back open in a few months. Glendale Stucco & Plastering always digs into the root cause first. We patch and shore up structural flaws before any Stucco Finish Coat goes on.
How long does a Stucco Redash job usually take?
For an average single-family home right here in Glendale, a standard Stucco Redashing project usually takes between three to five days. That includes surface preparation, power washing, applying the bonding agent, spraying or hand-trowelling the Stucco Finish Coat, and letting it cure properly under the dry sun we get during peak summer months.
Will the new finish match my old texture?
A skilled plasterer can match just about any traditional texture, whether you have a heavy lace, smooth Spanish skip trowel, or a standard dash finish. Because Glendale Stucco & Plastering mixes color right into the dash coat, you also get rid of the need to constantly paint your exterior walls.
