Stucco Repair & Color Coats in Placitas, NM
Placitas sits in the foothills at the north end of the Sandia Mountains, with custom homes spread out across rolling, piñon-dotted land and long views toward the Rio Grande valley. Most homes here are Pueblo-style or contemporary Southwestern, almost all of them stucco.
Homes in Placitas tend to be custom, with hand-troweled finishes, deep parapets and plenty of exposed walls, so careful repair and matching matter.
Exposed walls and big views
The same open setting that gives Placitas homes their views also exposes their walls to wind, sun and weather from every direction. Stucco on exposed elevations fades and cracks faster, and parapets catch the worst of it.
We often recommend repairing the damaged areas, then applying a color coat to the most exposed walls, or the whole house, so the finish ends up even.
HOAs and design guidelines
Some Placitas neighborhoods have HOAs with color and design guidelines meant to keep homes blending into the landscape. Check your guidelines before changing color.
We can bring earth-tone samples and provide finish details for the review.
