REPAIR AND
RESTORATION
Cracks, peeling paint, stains, and water damage can affect the appearance and performance of your
exterior. Reed Stucco & Exteriors repairs stucco and EIFS in the Portland area, assessing visible
damage and recommending repairs to restore and protect the finish.
We can help you with:
- Cracks and Stucco Patching: We repair cracks, chips, holes, and other damaged areas. We workto blend the patch with the surrounding texture.
- Water Damage and Water Penetration: Stains, bulges, or loose stucco may signal moisture behind the finish. We assess the affected area and recommend the appropriate repair.
- Window Leaks, Caulking, and Sealants: Water can enter around windows and other wall openings. We check the surrounding stucco and address related caulking or sealant as part of the repair.
- Dry Rot and Wall Damage: Moisture behind stucco can contribute to dry rot and other damage. We look for visible signs and identify whether the repair may involve materials beneath the stucco.
- EIFS Repair and Restoration: We repair damaged EIFS and restore worn areas. The repair approach depends on the system and condition of the affected surface.
- Peeling Paint, Waterproofing, and Coatings: We repair damaged finishes and can recommend suitable paint or protective coatings. Waterproofing details, sealants, and caulking may also be part of the repair.
Interior Plaster & Drywall Repair
Cracks, holes, water damage, and worn finishes can take away from the look and feel of your interior.
Reed Stucco & Exteriors repairs and restores interior plaster and drywall, from traditional lath-and-
plaster walls to specialty finishes.
We can help you with:
- Plaster Cracks and Patches: We repair cracks, holes, and damaged plaster. Each patch is finished to blend with the surrounding surface as closely as possible.
- Lath-and-Plaster Repair: We repair and restore traditional lath-and-plaster walls and ceilings. The right approach depends on the condition of the plaster and its underlying support.
- Interior Plaster Restoration: We restore worn or damaged plaster and address areas affected by water or other damage. We assess the surface before recommending a repair.
- Drywall Patching: We patch holes and damaged drywall and refinish the area. The goal is a smooth transition to the surrounding wall.
- Veneer Plaster and Veneer Coat: We apply and repair veneer plaster finishes. A veneer coat can provide a refined finish over a properly prepared surface.
- Venetian Plaster and Specialty Coatings: We work with Venetian plaster and other specialty coatings for distinctive interior finishes. Contact us to discuss the finish and repair your project needs.
A careful repair that fits the existing finish
Stucco repairs take more than filling a crack. The material, texture, and condition of the surrounding wall all matter. Our plasterers take care to blend repaired areas with the existing finish. Exact color and texture matches can depend on the age and condition of the original surface.
When appropriate, we can also recommend steps to help protect the wall from future problems, such as improving drainage or applying a protective coating.
Frequently asked questions
When should stucco be checked?
It’s a good idea to have stucco evaluated when you notice new or widening cracks, stains that keep returning, bulging, or areas that appear loose or separated. These signs don’t always mean there is serious damage, but they can sometimes point to moisture or another issue behind the surface.
Can you repair a small area of stucco?
We assess the damaged area and recommend an approach based on its condition and the surrounding finish. Contact us with a description or photos to get started.
Can you match my existing stucco?
We take care to match the surrounding color and texture. Because finishes change with age and exposure, an exact match may not always be possible.
Do you repair EIFS as well as traditional stucco?
Yes. Reed Stucco & Exteriors offers EIFS repair and restoration in addition to stucco repair.
Does a crack mean there is water damage?
Not necessarily. Some cracks are limited to the surface, while others may be a sign of a deeper issue. An evaluation can help determine what repair is appropriate.
