Few exterior upgrades deliver more curb appeal — or more resale value — than a full re-stucco. SD Plastering Company has transformed hundreds of dated San Diego County homes from ugly heavy-lace texture and faded color into clean, modern smooth Santa Barbara, cat-face, and float finishes.
The #1 remodel request we get: rip off the heavy 1980s lace and replace it with smooth Santa Barbara or fine cat-face. We chip off existing texture (or scratch over it depending on substrate condition), re-paper if needed, and apply a fresh brown and finish coat in the texture and color you actually want.
Not every dated exterior needs a full tear-off. If your existing brown coat is sound, a fog coat or color coat refresh can restore color uniformity at a fraction of full re-stucco cost. We'll inspect the wall and give you both options with honest pros and cons.
Most remodels we touch involve more than stucco. We install Eldorado, Cultured Stone, and natural stone veneer accents, plaster column wraps, decorative banding, foam trim, and Mediterranean-style detailing that elevates the whole exterior. One crew, one schedule, one clean schedule.
If your remodel includes an ADU addition, second-story pop-up, or major footprint expansion, we match the new stucco seamlessly to the existing — same texture, same color, no visible scar line. This is harder than it sounds; most contractors get it wrong and you can spot the addition from the street. We don't.
