Exterior & Siding
Protect your home and transform its curb appeal with new siding, stucco, and exterior finishes (Lic. #1092628) serving Southern California.
Exterior & Siding in Los Angeles
Your exterior is the building’s raincoat, and when it fails the damage is hidden. Cracked stucco or split siding lets water into the wall assembly, where it quietly rots framing and soaks insulation long before a stain appears inside. Hollywood Contractor Corp is a licensed general contractor (CSLB #1092628) handling stucco and siding across Los Angeles County, including hillside homes in La Crescenta and Glendale. We repair or replace the finish and, just as importantly, the weather barrier and flashing behind it — replacing any dry rot we uncover and documenting it with photographs before we proceed. Part of our full home remodeling services.

Exterior & Siding FAQs
How much does new siding or stucco cost in Los Angeles?
Stucco repair typically runs from about $1,500 for localized crack repair to $12,000–$30,000 for a full re-stucco, depending on the size of the home. Fiber cement siding generally runs about $10 to $18 per square foot installed. Any dry rot or sheathing repair found during removal is additional — we document it with photos before proceeding.
Should I repair or fully replace my stucco?
If the cracks are cosmetic and the wall underneath is sound, targeted repair and a re-coat is far more economical. If there is widespread cracking, bulging, or evidence of water intrusion, replacement lets us inspect and correct the barrier behind it. We open a test area to determine which you actually need.
Why does my stucco keep cracking?
Hairline cracking is normal as a house settles and materials expand and contract. Larger or recurring cracks usually point to a real cause — foundation movement, missing control joints, or water getting behind the finish. We find the cause rather than just patching the symptom.
What is the most durable siding for the LA climate?
Fiber cement performs extremely well here. It resists sun, moisture, and pests, is fire-resistant — a real consideration in many LA neighborhoods — and holds paint far longer than wood. Properly maintained stucco also performs well and suits most SoCal architecture.
How long does an exterior project take?
Stucco repairs can be done in a few days. A full re-stucco or siding replacement on a typical single-family home generally takes about 2 to 4 weeks, longer if we uncover significant dry rot or framing damage that has to be repaired first.
Will you find hidden damage once you remove the old siding?
Sometimes, and it is one of the main reasons we recommend replacement over cover-up. If we find dry rot or damaged sheathing, we photograph it, explain the repair, and give you the cost in a written change order before continuing.
Do I need a permit for siding or stucco work?
Re-stucco and siding replacement often require a permit, especially when sheathing or the weather barrier is being replaced. We confirm the requirement for your address and pull permits when they apply.
Can you match my existing stucco texture?
In most cases yes. Matching texture and color on a patch is more art than science — older stucco fades and weathers — so for larger repairs we often recommend re-coating a full elevation to a natural break line for a seamless result.
