FEATURED PROJECT
A full exterior recoat of a single-story stucco home. We waterblasted the walls, patched more than fifty hairline cracks, trenched the coating past grade, and primed, then finished in TEX-COTE COOLWALL Tailored Tan 0239 with Hint of Vanilla trim.
About this project
This Glendora home had spent years facing the afternoon sun on tired, cracked stucco. We recoated the exterior with the TEX-COTE COOLWALL system, a heat-reflective coating built to hold its color in the heat, and finished it in Tailored Tan with vanilla trim.
Once the chalk was washed off, the wall told the real story: more than fifty hairline cracks across the stucco, and an old coating that had stopped right at the dirt line, leaving a weak seam where the wall met the soil.
We waterblasted the walls and eaves, then filled more than fifty hairline cracks with Flex-Patch, each one feathered flush so it disappears under the topcoat.
We trenched three to six inches down where the soil meets the foundation, so the coating runs past grade instead of stopping in a weak line at the dirt.
Twenty gallons of Hi-Reflective Primer went on next, the bonding base the COOLWALL system needs before any color.
Then COOLWALL in Tailored Tan 0239 across the stucco, with Trim-Cote in Hint of Vanilla 0001 on the trim, fascia, and wood at a semi-gloss for crisp edges.
Materials used
COOLWALL is a system, not a coat of paint. It only performs if the surface under it is sound and primed right, so we patch, trench, and prime before any color. Prep is where this finish lives or dies.
COOLWALL carries KYNAR infrared pigment. Rather than letting the wall soak up solar heat the way standard latex does, the manufacturer reports the pigment reflects much of it back, so the surface runs cooler and holds its color longer. On a wall that faces the afternoon sun, that is the whole point.
February weather did not cooperate. Rain pushed the crew off the walls more than once, so we ran the work across about two weeks of dry windows rather than rush a coat onto a wet surface. The finished home holds an even Tailored Tan body, crisp vanilla trim, a matched shed, and a coating made for the sun it faces. This is part of our residential exterior coating work across Los Angeles County, including nearby Azusa, San Dimas, and Covina.
