Stucco work in LA runs $8-$28 per square foot over 5-10 days depending on home size and scope. Three-coat stucco can last 50-80 years; one-coat closer to 30-40. Curing time between coats is the variable most often cut on speed-driven jobs and the most common cause of long-term failure.
We inspect your home's exterior, identify any damage, moisture issues, or structural concerns, and discuss your goals - whether it's new stucco, repair, or re-texturing.
Outcome:
Complete understanding of your stucco needs and existing conditions.
Within 24-48 business hours, you'll receive an itemized estimate. We'll show you stucco texture options (smooth, sand, dash, lace) and color samples to match your vision.
Outcome:
A transparent quote with texture and color recommendations.
We obtain necessary permits and order premium stucco materials. We schedule the work around weather conditions for optimal curing.
Outcome:
Permits secured and installation scheduled for ideal conditions.
Our crew prepares the surface by cleaning, repairing any damage, and installing moisture barriers and metal lath where needed. Proper prep ensures long-lasting adhesion.
Outcome:
A properly prepared surface ready for stucco application.
The first layer of stucco (scratch coat) is applied and scored to create a rough surface for the next coat to bond to. This layer provides the structural foundation.
Outcome:
A solid base layer that ensures proper stucco adhesion.
After proper curing, the brown coat is applied to create a level, even surface. This layer is carefully floated to achieve the proper thickness and smoothness.
Outcome:
A smooth, level surface ready for the finish coat.
The final color coat is applied with your chosen texture and tint. Our skilled applicators create consistent texture patterns across your entire home.
Outcome:
Professional finish with your selected color and texture.
We protect the new stucco during curing, clean up the work area, and conduct a final walkthrough. You'll receive care tips to maintain your stucco for years.
Outcome:
A protected, beautiful exterior that enhances your home's value.

“Buildda did an incredible job on my project, and I can't say enough good things about Oren. From the first meeting, he was upfront, transparent, and extremely knowledgeable. His communication throughout the process was fantastic-he kept me updated on progress, timelines, and any decisions that needed to be made. The crew worked efficiently, respected my property, and the final result exceeded expectations. I would absolutely hire Buildda again and highly recommend Oren to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy contractor.”

“This contractor did the most amazing work for me. His job is precise, clean, and he is extremely honest and straightforward. He made some suggestions that I was hesitant at first to accept but ultimately I am so appreciative because the job came out so nice. I'm going to have him come back to do my garage and front door.”
