We repair cracked and damaged stucco, match the existing texture and repaint, so the fix disappears and water stays out. Family-owned for three generations, licensed (CA #857118) and fully insured.
Why La Mesa stucco cracks
La Mesa’s hills and canyons, from Mount Helix to the slopes above the Village, mean many homes sit on sloped lots that settle over time. Combine that with hot summer days and cool nights, and stucco expands, contracts and cracks. Older homes around La Mesa Village may also have original stucco or plaster that has been patched and painted several times.

We recommended Stokeys Painting to a customer of ours a couple years ago and we haven't stopped referring them since! What impressed us the most is their customer service and the way they prep a home. They put a lot of care into protecting your investment and ensuring the longest lasting results possible.
Highly recomend! From start to finish we had the best service. Jaime was always sure to get back to me timely regarding my questions. He also was very gracious when I added, removed and added jobs during the quote process. Art, the project manager checked in and out every day on progress and where they would be starting the next day. The whole team was polite, professional and friendly. Thank you all for beautifying my home!
Would highly recommend Jaime and team for all your painting needs. Could not of asked for a better experience. Everything you would want in a contractor. From the fast response to the initial inquiry to the completion of the job to our satisfaction, everything was A+. Thanks to all, especially Nick, who worked so hard.
Stucco repair in La Mesa: FAQ
Are stucco cracks a serious problem?
Hairline cracks are common as homes settle and expand with heat, and are usually cosmetic. Wider cracks, cracks that keep growing, or cracks with staining around them can let water behind the stucco, so they should be repaired promptly. We'll tell you what we see; if we suspect a structural issue, we'll recommend having it checked first.
Can you match my existing stucco texture?
Yes. We match common textures such as sand, lace, dash and smooth finishes, then paint the whole wall or elevation so the repair blends in.
Should I repair stucco before painting?
Always. Painting over cracks and loose stucco hides the problem for a short time, but water still gets in and the cracks reappear through the new paint.
Do you repair stucco on older La Mesa homes?
Yes. Older stucco and plaster on Village-area homes needs a gentle approach. We patch carefully, match the original texture and use breathable, flexible products.
