Corrales feels different from the rest of the metro. The village sits along the Rio Grande bosque, with farm fields, orchards, horse properties and Corrales Road winding through the middle. Many homes here are older, adobe-style houses with thick walls, flat roofs and soft, rounded parapets.
Stucco repair for Corrales homes
Older Corrales homes often have layers of history in their walls. Some are true adobe with a cement or mud plaster finish, some are frame or block made to look like adobe, and many have been patched over the decades with different materials. That mix matters, because the wrong patch on an older wall can trap moisture and make things worse.
Stucco repair in Corrales starts with figuring out what the wall is made of. From there, we match the repair to the wall, whether that means a cement patch, a breathable finish or a full re-stucco.
Common stucco problems in Corrales
Being close to the river and irrigation ditches brings more ground moisture than much of the metro. We often see stucco breaking down near the base of walls where soil stays damp, parapets with soft, rounded caps that hold water, and cracks where additions meet the original house. Irrigation and sprinklers hitting the walls add to it.
What to expect
We start by walking the house with you and looking at every wall, the parapets and the base of the stucco. On older homes, we check what earlier repairs used, since cement patches over softer historic finishes often crack and trap water. You get a free written estimate that explains the cause of each problem and the repair we recommend, and we protect gardens and pathways while we work.
Services in Corrales
We handle stucco crack repair, re-stucco and color coats, parapet repair, stucco inspection and water damage repair, and elastomeric coatings throughout the village, from the homes near the Old San Ysidro Church to the west side near Rio Rancho.
Keep the bottom of stucco walls a few inches above soil and mulch. Stucco that sits in damp ground wicks water up into the wall.
