Fast, reliable stucco repair for cracks, holes, water damage, and delamination. Serving Alhambra homeowners since 2015.
Stucco is the most popular exterior finish in Alhambra and the San Gabriel Valley. But Alhambra climate extremes, summer heat over 100°F, UV exposure, and seasonal soil movement take a toll on stucco over time. Cracks, holes, and water damage are common in Alhambra homes, especially those built in the 1950s through 1980s.
We repair all types of stucco damage on Alhambra homes and commercial properties. Our team matches your existing texture and color so the repair is invisible. Every repair comes with a written warranty.
Hairline cracks, structural cracks, and settlement cracks are the most common stucco problem in Alhambra. We use elastomeric caulk for hairline cracks and hydraulic cement for wider structural cracks. Every crack repair includes sealing to prevent moisture intrusion.
Impact damage, pest damage, and deteriorated stucco create holes that let moisture into your walls. We patch holes with matching stucco mix, apply three coats (scratch, brown, finish), and texture to match.
Alhambra homes with poor drainage or missing flashing often show water damage at the base of walls, around windows, and near rooflines. We repair the damaged stucco and address the moisture source to prevent recurrence.
When stucco pulls away from the wall (delamination), it creates hollow spots that will eventually crack and fall. We remove the delaminated section, repair the substrate, and apply new stucco that bonds properly to the wall.

Alhambra sits in the west San Gabriel Valley, one of the hottest areas in Los Angeles County. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, causing stucco to expand and contract daily. Over years, this thermal cycling creates cracks. The dry climate also causes stucco to lose moisture and become brittle.
Many Alhambra homes were built in the 1920s through the 1950s — California bungalows and Spanish-style houses around Ramona Park, Emery Park, and Midwick — with original stucco that has never been repaired. These homes often have multiple layers of paint that trap moisture, leading to delamination and hidden water damage. Newer tract homes north of Valley Blvd face the same thermal stress. A professional inspection can catch these issues before they become expensive.
