Belen has deep roots. The town dates back to the 1700s, and it grew into a major railroad junction, which is why it is still called the Hub City. The Belen Harvey House Museum near the tracks is a reminder of those railroad days. Walk around town and you will find older adobe-style homes and commercial buildings near the center, and newer stucco homes on the edges of town and toward the mesa.
Stucco repair for Belen homes
Older Belen homes often have thick walls, flat roofs and parapets that have been patched many times. Some have mixed materials from past repairs, and matching those takes care. Newer homes tend to show the usual signs of age: hairline cracks, faded color on sunny walls and small areas of damage near the ground.
Stucco repair in Belen covers crack repair and patching, re-stucco and color coats, parapet repair, water damage repair, and coatings that stand up to the valley sun.
What we see most in Belen
Parapets and roof lines are the most common trouble spots on older flat-roof homes here. Cracked caps and failed roof joints let monsoon rain into the walls. On newer homes, west-facing walls fade and chalk first, and cracks show up at window and door corners. Damp soil near irrigated yards can also break down stucco at the base of the walls.
What to expect
We walk every wall with you, check parapets and roof lines, and look for the cause of each problem before recommending a repair. You get a free written estimate that lists every repair and its price. On older homes we take extra care to match earlier finishes, and we protect your yard and walkways while we work. Once the work is done, we walk the finished walls with you.
Services in Belen
We offer stucco crack repair, re-stucco and resurfacing, EIFS and Dryvit repair, stucco inspection and water damage repair, parapet and chimney repair, and stucco painting and elastomeric coating throughout Belen.
Check parapet caps from a ladder each spring. A crack on top of a parapet is easy to miss from the ground and is one of the first places water gets in.
