Stucco Repair in Los Lunas, NM

Two kinds of home, two kinds of job

Los Lunas has taken on a great deal of new residential construction over the last stretch of years, and that has left the area with a genuine split. Homes in the newer subdivisions closer to the highway corridor are largely synthetic stucco, some still inside a builder warranty or only recently out of one. Homes further out, nearer the village and the river, are more likely to carry traditional cement stucco that has been weathering for decades. The two need different expertise.

If your home is newer, check the warranty first

On a recently built home it is worth establishing whether stucco damage is a warranty matter before paying for it yourself. The distinction usually falls between a workmanship problem, which may be covered, and ordinary weather exposure, which generally is not. A contractor can help you work out which one you are looking at, and it is a cheap question to ask before committing to a repair.

Valley conditions

Sitting in the Rio Grande valley brings a little more moisture into the picture than the mesa communities see, particularly for homes closer to the river and irrigated land. Combined with the same sun and freeze-thaw cycling the rest of the region gets, that tends to show up as wear around the base of walls and anywhere runoff concentrates.

Mention the rough age of the home and whether it is in one of the newer developments or an older property nearer the village. That one detail tells a contractor which system they are likely dealing with, and whether a warranty conversation is worth having first.
