FAQs

What stucco and painting services does Modern Builders offer?

Modern Builders offers a full range of stucco and painting services, including stucco repair, wood rot repair, new stucco installation, complete re-stucco work, texture matching, re-flashing, and professional exterior painting. We handle everything from patching a few cracks to refinishing an entire home exterior across Pasadena and the greater Los Angeles area. Because we do both stucco and painting under one roof, your surfaces are prepped, repaired, and coated by a single coordinated crew. Every project starts with a free on-site evaluation and a written estimate, and all of our work is guaranteed.

Do stucco and painting go together on the same project?

Yes, stucco and painting very often go together on the same project, which is why we offer them as one combined service. When we repair or install stucco, the surface needs to cure and then be primed and painted with a weatherproof coating to seal and protect it. Handling both steps ourselves means the texture matching and the final color are coordinated, so you avoid the mismatch that happens when two separate contractors do the work. We use premium exterior coatings built for Southern California’s strong UV and dry heat, and we walk you through color selection before we begin.

How do I know if I need stucco repair or a full re-stucco?

You likely need only stucco repair if the damage is limited to isolated cracks, chips, or a few weather-worn spots, while a full re-stucco makes sense when the finish is failing across large areas or the exterior is simply aged and tired. During our free on-site evaluation, we inspect the surface, check for moisture intrusion behind the stucco, and look at how widespread the problem really is. Sometimes a targeted patch and repaint restores everything beautifully, and sometimes a fresh coat over the whole home is the better long-term value. We give you an honest recommendation and a written estimate either way, never a hard sell.

How much does a stucco and painting project cost?

The cost of a stucco and painting project depends on several factors, so we always provide a free written estimate rather than a one-size-fits-all number. Pricing is driven by the square footage, the condition of the existing surface, how much crack or wood rot repair is needed, the texture and finish you choose, and the type of coating. A small repair with touch-up paint is very different from a full re-stucco and repaint of a two-story home. After we evaluate your property on-site, we give you transparent, itemized pricing so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Why should I hire a contractor that does both stucco and painting?

Hiring one contractor that does both stucco and painting saves you the headache of coordinating multiple trades and gives you a single point of accountability for the whole exterior. When the same crew preps the surface, repairs the stucco, matches the texture, and applies the finish coat, the results blend seamlessly, and nothing falls through the cracks between vendors. It also protects your investment, because we make sure the stucco is fully cured and properly primed before any paint goes on. With Modern Builders you get transparent pricing, guaranteed workmanship, and one team standing behind the entire job.

How long does a stucco and painting exterior last in Southern California?

A properly installed and painted stucco exterior can last for decades in Southern California, with the finish coat typically protecting the surface for many years before a repaint is needed. Our dry, sunny climate is actually kind to stucco compared to wetter regions, but intense UV exposure does gradually fade paint, which is why we use UV-resistant, weatherproof coatings. Keeping cracks sealed and refreshing the paint when it starts to fade will dramatically extend the life of the whole system. We build every project for long-term durability and back our work with a warranty.
