If your home’s exterior is showing signs of wear, our team is here to help with expert stucco painting services designed for long-term protection and curb appeal.

Our Stucco Painting & Repair Process

• Stucco painting isn’t just about improving appearance—it’s a complete restoration process that safeguards your home against the elements. Here’s what you can expect:
• Repairs: California’s climate and seismic activity can lead to cracking or chipping in your stucco. Our experienced team assesses the damage to determine the cause—whether from weather, structural shifts, or age—and repairs all cracks to create a smooth, stable surface.
• Replacement: If any section of stucco is too damaged to repair—due to moisture intrusion, mold, or deterioration—we carefully remove and replace the affected areas to restore strength and integrity.
• Priming: We apply a high-quality elastomeric or waterproof primer to properly seal the surface. This is especially important in areas like Northridge and Granada Hills, where heat and occasional moisture can impact stucco longevity. Priming ensures better paint adhesion and long-lasting results.
• Protective Painting: We finish the job with a flexible, UV-resistant paint designed to move with your home and withstand harsh sunlight, moisture, and airborne pollutants. This protective layer enhances your home’s appearance while helping prevent future damage.

Whether you need minor repairs or a full stucco repaint, CertaPro Painters® of Northridge – Granada Hills delivers high-quality craftsmanship and dependable results.

Stucco Damage Warning Signs

There are a few stucco damage warning signs that every homeowner should know. Check out some of the possible stucco problems below.

Water Damage: There are many stucco-related problems that can occur due to water leaks. If excess moisture has had the chance to get into or under your stucco exterior, it can eventually come through your ceiling and walls

Cracks: The majority of cracking happens from water damage. However, cracked stucco can also occur from a faulty stucco installation. If you find any unsightly cracks starting to form along your stucco siding, our experienced painting contractors can provide you with a stucco repair service.

Deterioration of Caulking: Over time, caulking can start to deteriorate or even wear off. When this happens, excess moisture has a greater chance of seeping into your stucco and causing costly and time consuming damages.

Stains & Discoloration: One of the final initial warning signs of stucco damage is seeing white streaks or brown stains appear along your stucco siding. Usually this is caused by flashing that has either not been installed properly, or may even be missing.

If your stucco home is experiencing any of these problems, don’t hesitate to reach out to our painting contractors for a stucco repair service.
