Upgrade Your Home’s Exterior with Expert Stucco Construction
Installation And Replacement
Stucco and EIFS (exterior insulation and finish systems) are popular cladding materials for California homes and buildings. Do you have a stucco exterior on your home or building that has begun to crack or is in need of replacement and repair? Stucco failure is common in California and usually due to builder neglect, especially with new home construction where faster and cheaper are usually the goals.
If you need to replace your existing stucco or install it on a new construction project, it’s important to choose a company with experience in this field who will take the time to install it correctly.
Improper installation can lead to thousands of dollars in damage. Avoid this unwanted situation by working with a trusted and experienced service provider. At The Ace Builder, we have the experience to do the job right!
We have the training, certifications, tools, and experience for proper installation and repairs for both traditional stucco and EIFS.
Residential Repairs
We regularly receive referrals from real estate agents to estimate and complete property repairs during the sale process. We understand how to read the inspector’s report to complete the repairs accurately and according to the buyer’s contract. We work with buyers and sellers alike, and The Ace Builder’s outstanding reputation makes it easier for both sides to agree on repairs. Once repairs are agreed to, repair funds can be held in escrow until work completion, and the home loan can successfully close.

Which Type Works Best?
We’re often asked which type of stucco works best. Traditional stucco usually produces the best long-term results.

However, the type you choose is ultimately your decision.

Preventing Water Damage
Water and moisture are the leading causes of stucco failures in California. While stucco and EFIS are water-resistant, the problem is when water gets in behind these products due to poor installation practices that don’t have proper WRB (water resistive barriers) in place.
There are several ways to waterproof your stucco installation, and it can vary depending on the type of structure you’re installing the stucco on. If you’re looking for a stucco contractor to re-stucco the exterior of your home or building, it’s important to ensure their process will meet local building codes and the installation requirements of the manufacturer.
