Step-by-Step Process for a Complete Makeover:
Surface Preparation: The journey to a new stucco exterior begins with thorough surface preparation. We meticulously clean the exterior, removing dirt, debris, and old paint to create a pristine base for the new stucco.
Crack and Damage Repair: Addressing the integrity of your home, we meticulously repair any cracks or damaged areas. This critical step ensures a strong foundation for the new stucco, preventing future issues.
Skim Coat Application with Fiberglass Mesh: A crucial layer of a high-quality skim coat, reinforced with fiberglass mesh, is then applied. This step enhances the stucco's strength and crack resistance, setting the stage for a smooth, enduring finish.
Color Coat Finish: The transformation concludes with the application of the color coat. This final touch not only revitalizes the look of your home with a vibrant new color but also adds an extra layer of protection. Choose from our wide range of colors to find the perfect match for your home's unique character.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Full stucco resurfacing is a restoration process where a new reinforced base and finish system is applied over existing, structurally sound stucco. Instead of removing all exterior stucco, resurfacing strengthens and refreshes the surface while improving durability, appearance, and weather resistance. This is a popular solution for homes with widespread cracking, fading, or aging finishes.
-
In many cases, yes. If a home has ongoing repairs, mismatched patches, or widespread aging, continued spot repairs can become costly over time. Full resurfacing provides a more uniform, long-term solution that restores appearance and performance in one comprehensive scope of work.
-
Yes. Full resurfacing allows you to completely update both the texture and color of your stucco exterior. Homeowners can choose from smooth, sand, or textured finishes along with modern, fade-resistant color options that better match Southwestern and Northern New Mexico architectural styles.
-
Yes. Resurfacing systems are designed to address and reinforce existing hairline and moderate cracking through proper prep work, base coats, and mesh reinforcement where needed. While no system can guarantee that all future cracking will never occur, resurfacing significantly reduces visible cracking and improves overall wall performance compared to simple patch repairs.
-
During a full resurfacing, we remove all loose, delaminating, or failing stucco in addition to addressing any other necessary repairs to ensure a proper and long-lasting system. Our goal is to create a stable, well-bonded surface before applying any new base and finish materials. During your consultation, we will carefully inspect the exterior and identify any areas that require additional attention, reinforcement, or repair prior to resurfacing.
That said, complete removal of all existing stucco (full tear-off) is typically not required for resurfacing and comes with a significantly higher cost and level of disruption. Full removal is only recommended under specific circumstances, such as severe structural failure, widespread moisture damage, or when the existing system is no longer properly bonded. To determine whether resurfacing is the right solution for your home, we recommend scheduling a comprehensive inspection with one of our qualified consultants.
-
Stucco resurfacing costs vary depending on several important factors, including the type of existing stucco, the current condition of the system, and the level of preparation needed to properly support a new finish. In more straightforward cases, preparation may involve pressure washing, removing loose or compromised material, applying a compatible base coat, optional fiberglass mesh reinforcement, primer, and a new finish coat of your choosing.
In more involved scenarios, the scope can expand to include removal of severely damaged or delaminating sections, replacing sheathing or moisture barriers, installing new metal lath and backfill base coats, rebuilding parapets, re-flashing around windows and penetrations, installing expansion joints or weep screeds at known failure points, and addressing transitions to ensure long-term performance and durability.
Ultimately, pricing depends on your home’s specific condition, your expectations for longevity and preventive maintenance, and how much restoration is required to create a stable, high-performing system. No two homes are identical—each property presents its own set of advantages, challenges, and prior repair history. A comprehensive inspection allows our consultants to accurately evaluate these variables and provide a tailored scope of work and recommendation that aligns with your goals, budget, and the long-term performance of your stucco exterior.
