Treating Your Home As We Treat Our Own

Protect and Beautify Your Stucco Home

Stucco is the predominant exterior finish in San Diego homes, and painting it correctly requires specialized knowledge and techniques. At Franklin Custom Finish, we understand the unique challenges of stucco painting in our Mediterranean climate—from proper surface preparation to selecting the right breathable paints that protect your home from intense UV exposure, temperature swings, and occasional moisture.
Our stucco painting process begins with thorough power washing to remove dirt, debris, and chalky residue that accumulates on stucco surfaces. We carefully inspect and repair all cracks, chips, and damage using proper stucco patching compounds that match your existing texture. Only after the surface is fully prepared do we apply premium elastomeric or 100% acrylic coatings specifically designed for stucco.
Stucco textures create unique painting challenges—from ensuring complete coverage in porous surfaces to achieving even color across varying texture depths. Our team uses professional spray equipment combined with back-rolling techniques to guarantee full penetration and uniform coverage. We apply products from trusted brands like Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Dunn-Edwards formulated specifically for our San Diego climate.
Serving homes throughout Lakeside, Santee, El Cajon, Alpine, Poway, and La Mesa, we've painted hundreds of stucco exteriors in San Diego County. Our knowledge of local weather patterns and which products perform best ensures your stucco paint job lasts 10-15 years or more. Contact us today for your free exterior painting estimate.
