Stucco Remodel & Re-Stucco San Diego | SD Plastering Company
Few exterior upgrades deliver more curb appeal — or more resale value — than a full re-stucco. SD Plastering Company has transformed hundreds of dated San Diego County homes from ugly heavy-lace texture and faded color into clean, modern smooth Santa Barbara, cat-face, and float finishes. Our average customer sees a 4x curb-appeal lift relative to project cost at resale.
From Dated Lace to Modern Smooth
The #1 remodel request we get: rip off the heavy 1980s lace and replace it with smooth Santa Barbara or fine cat-face. We chip off existing texture (or scratch over it depending on substrate condition), re-paper if needed, and apply a fresh brown and finish coat in the texture and color you actually want.
Color-Coat Refresh vs. Full Re-Stucco
Not every dated exterior needs a full tear-off. If your existing brown coat is sound, a fog coat or color coat refresh can restore color uniformity at a fraction of full re-stucco cost. We'll inspect the wall and give you both options with honest pros and cons.
Stone Veneer, Pillars & Architectural Details
Most remodels we touch involve more than stucco. We install Eldorado, Cultured Stone, and natural stone veneer accents, plaster column wraps, decorative banding, foam trim, and Mediterranean-style detailing that elevates the whole exterior. One crew, one schedule, one clean schedule.
ADU Additions & Whole-Home Remodels
If your remodel includes an ADU addition, second-story pop-up, or major footprint expansion, we match the new stucco seamlessly to the existing — same texture, same color, no visible scar line. This is harder than it sounds; most contractors get it wrong and you can spot the addition from the street. We don't.
