Enhancing Beverly Hills homes with expertly applied, long-lasting residential stucco finishes.
Get Your Free EstimateResidential Stucco is when we put a protective and decorative exterior wall coating on private homes. Our Residential Stucco service includes getting the wall ready, putting in a weather-resistive barrier, installing a metal lath system, and then carefully applying the scratch, brown, and finish coats of stucco. This process makes a solid, strong, and good-looking exterior for your home.
Our approach for Residential Stucco starts with a complete check of your home's existing structure and any special architectural parts. We then get the surface ready; this often means cleaning it, fixing any damage to the wall underneath, and putting in a Grade D building paper or another type of weather-resistive barrier. This barrier is very important for handling moisture, and it stops water from getting behind the stucco system. After this, we attach a self-furring metal lath, usually a 2.5 lb/sy expanded metal lath, making sure it overlaps correctly and is attached right to meet the ASTM C1063 standards for exterior plastering.
For Beverly Hills homes, stucco has some big benefits because of the local climate. The material's thermal mass helps keep inside temperatures steady, and this can lower cooling costs during the hot summers. Stucco is also naturally fire resistant, which is a good thing in an area that can have brush fires. It gives an extra layer of protection for your property. We also think about the local seismic activity by making sure the lath is attached correctly and control joints are put in the right places. This helps stop cracks from small shifts in the building.

Homeowners in Beverly Hills often ask how long stucco lasts and what kind of upkeep it needs. Stucco that is put on right, like the systems we install, can last for many decades with little maintenance. Checking for hairline cracks regularly, especially around windows and doors, and fixing them quickly are important for the stucco to keep working well. We use good quality Portland cement-based stucco mixes, and these often have polymers added. This makes the stucco more flexible and helps it stick better, which means it is less likely to crack too soon. For homes and businesses in Beverly Hills, Beverly Hills Stucco & Plastering provides Residential Stucco services.
Expert Residential Stucco is important in Beverly Hills. It handles the unique weather and look that homes in Beverly Hills need. The city has warm, dry summers and some rain. This means an exterior finish must be able to expand and contract without cracking. Stucco that is not mixed or applied correctly will not do this.
Stucco that is not put on right can cause big problems. This includes water getting inside, mold growing, and damage to the structure of the home. This is especially true in areas with humidity or rain. Beverly Hills Stucco & Plastering uses a detailed application of weather-resistive barriers and weep screeds. This makes sure water drains right and stops moisture from getting stuck behind the stucco. This is a common problem with bad stucco work. This careful work protects your home's framing and inside finishes.
The way stucco looks is also important for homes in Beverly Hills. The finish coat sets the home's aesthetic. A smooth, well-textured application makes the property value go up. We work to get an even color and texture. We avoid blotchy or uneven surfaces that make a home look less appealing. This is very important in a community like Beverly Hills that has high architectural standards.

We prepare the existing substrate. This includes cleaning the substrate and making any necessary repairs to the substrate. We then apply a weather-resistive barrier. After that, we securely fasten self-furring metal lath. This lath is typically 2.5 pounds per square yard. We make sure this meets ASTM C1063 standards for all residential stucco work in Beverly Hills.
A Portland cement-based Scratch Coat is applied first. This Scratch Coat is about 3/8 inch thick. We score this coat horizontally to create a mechanical key. This mechanical key helps the next layers stick well to the Scratch Coat. This ensures strong adhesion for the other stucco layers that will be applied in Beverly Hills.
After the Scratch Coat has cured for 24 to 48 hours, a 3/8 inch Brown Coat is then applied. This Brown Coat is floated to make a true and even surface. The Brown Coat is allowed to cure for 7 to 10 days. This curing time helps the Brown Coat develop its full strength and helps to minimize shrinkage cracking in Beverly Hills.
The final decorative Finish Coat, which the homeowner picks for its color and texture, is applied evenly to the stucco. We then inspect all the details of the Stucco Finish Coat, including the Control Joints and the transitions, to make sure the Stucco Finish Coat is complete and looks good for homes in Beverly Hills.
