Edgewood feels different from the canyon towns to the west. Once you come out of the mountains on I-40, the land opens into wide, rolling plains with long views and not much to block the wind. Homes sit on larger lots, many with horse facilities and outbuildings.
Stucco repair for Edgewood homes
Open land means wind, and wind carries grit that slowly wears down stucco finishes, especially on west and southwest walls. Edgewood is also high enough to get cold winters and regular freezes, so cracks have plenty of chances to grow. Put those together and many Edgewood homes show faded, rough finishes on the windward side and freeze-thaw cracks around windows.
We repair cracks, patch damaged areas, recoat wind-worn walls and repair parapets on homes throughout Edgewood, plus stucco on garages, barns and other outbuildings.
What wears out stucco in Edgewood
- Wind-blown grit wearing the finish thin on exposed walls
- Freeze-thaw cracks around windows and at wall corners
- Faded, chalky color from strong sun at high elevation
- Stucco on outbuildings that gets less upkeep than the house
- Water damage near the ground from snow drifts and runoff
Larger lots, bigger jobs, simpler access
Many Edgewood properties have more than one stucco building: the house, a detached garage, a barn or workshop, sometimes a casita. It often makes sense to look at all of them at once, since the same wind and sun wear them down together, and doing the work in one visit saves setup time. Open lots also make access easy, which helps keep costs down on bigger recoat jobs. We walk the whole property with you, point out which buildings need attention now and which can wait, and give you one written estimate that breaks out each building so you can decide what to do first.
Services in Edgewood
We offer stucco crack repair, re-stucco and color coats, stucco painting and elastomeric coatings, parapet repair, and stucco inspection and water damage repair throughout Edgewood and the surrounding area.
If one side of your house looks rough and faded while the others look fine, that is wind wear. A fresh color coat or elastomeric coating on that side restores the finish.
