Commercial Stucco Contractor in Santa Monica, CA
Santa Monica buildings live in a coastal environment, and it shows in the exteriors. Salt air and persistent marine moisture accelerate corrosion in lath and accessories, and buildings within a mile of the ocean generally show more rust staining and more base-of-wall deterioration than inland stock of the same age.
We work on Santa Monica apartment, retail and office exteriors — repair, re-stucco and full system replacement where corrosion has compromised the assembly.
Property types we work on in Santa Monica

Stucco repair and restoration in Santa Monica
Rust bleed through a finish coat is a common call here, and it is rarely cosmetic. Staining means the metal behind the plaster is corroding, so the repair involves opening the area, replacing the affected lath and accessories, and rebuilding the section — not sealing and painting over it.
New stucco and re-stucco in Santa Monica
On coastal re-stucco projects, the detail that pays off long term is at the base of the wall and at every penetration. Weep screeds buried by later hardscape and unsealed penetrations are the two conditions we look for first on Santa Monica buildings.

Answers
Stucco questions from Santa Monica owners
Can you work on adaptive-reuse and older DTLA buildings?
Yes. Older buildings often need existing plaster matched and damaged sections rebuilt rather than the whole surface replaced, which is a large part of what we do downtown.
Does coastal air affect stucco differently?
Yes. Salt air accelerates corrosion of metal lath and accessories, so coastal buildings more often need sections rebuilt rather than just re-finished.
What causes rust stains on my stucco?
Rust bleeding through the finish means metal behind the plaster is corroding — usually lath or an accessory. It is repaired by opening the area and replacing the affected material.
Is Magic Lath & Plaster licensed and insured?
Yes — California contractor license #1153016, bonded and insured.
