Bay Area Siding & Stucco Contractor. the rain-screen that actually sheds rain.

Bay Area siding has to deal with horizontal rain. Stucco that worked in Phoenix fails here without a proper rain-screen and kickout flashings. We re-skin Bay Area exteriors with three-coat stucco, fiber-cement lap, and natural wood — always over a properly detailed WRB with rain-screen drainage plane and weep at the slab.

About Siding & Stucco in Bay Area

Most Bay Area siding work comes from leak forensics: where the water entered, what framing it rotted, and what assembly replaces it.

Bay Area permit notes · Siding & Stucco

What we resolve before drawings begin.

  • 01

    Rain-screen + WRB

    Two-layer Grade D paper or housewrap with rain-screen drainage plane, flashed at every penetration. The Bay's wind-driven rain requires this — single-layer stucco fails here.

  • 02

    Kickout flashing + sill pans

    Bay Area's most common stucco failure point. Kickouts at every roof / wall intersection, sill pans under every window.

  • 03

    Title 24 envelope on >50% re-skin

    Full re-skins trigger envelope upgrades (insulation, infiltration). We scope these into the contract.

Bay Area · Siding & Stucco FAQ

Questions Bay Area homeowners ask first.

Start a Bay Area siding or stucco brief. We'll inspect the existing envelope, leak history, and write a fixed-scope contract.

  1. What does a Bay Area stucco re-skin cost?
    Full three-coat re-skins typically $22–$38 per sq ft of wall — Bay Area material and labor cost premium vs LA.
  2. Can I switch from stucco to fiber-cement?
    Yes — many Bay re-skins move to James Hardie for fire resistance, lower maintenance, and a sharper finish profile.
  3. Repair vs full re-skin?
    We assess crazing, settlement, and moisture failure separately. Surface crazing is cosmetic; moisture failure usually means re-skin.
  4. How long does a Bay Area siding re-skin take?
    Single-family full three-coat stucco re-skin runs 5–9 weeks on site, including scaffold, two-layer paper, lath, three coats, and color cure. Fiber-cement is typically faster.
  5. Do I need a city permit for a Bay siding re-skin?
    Re-skins over 50% of an exterior wall, structural sheathing changes, and envelope insulation upgrades trigger a city permit and Title 24 envelope check. We pull what's required.
