Two Canyons, Plenty of Wind and Snow
Cottonwood Heights sits at the mouths of Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons. Homes here get canyon winds, heavy snow and hard freeze-thaw cycles, which are tough on stucco, windows and roof lines.
Many homes were built from the 1960s through the 1990s: split-levels, ranches and two-story homes with original stucco that's now 30 to 60 years old. Dallas inspects first, finds what's causing the damage, and gives you a written, itemized estimate.
New stucco is the modern two-coat system: double-ply paper, wire lath, a base coat at 3/8 to 1/2 inch, a 6 to 7 day water cure, then a Senergy color coat in any Sherwin-Williams color. Resurfacing is cracks repaired, a new base coat with embedded mesh, and a new textured finish.
What Cottonwood Heights Homes Need Most
These are the problems Dallas runs into most often on Cottonwood Heights homes, and how he handles them.
Canyon Winds
Wind coming out of the canyons drives rain and snow sideways into window perimeters and roof-to-wall joints. Those are the first places Dallas checks.
Heavy Snow and Freeze-Thaw
Snow sits against the base of the wall, and water in small cracks freezes and widens them every winter. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Aging Original Stucco
Stucco from the 1960s to 1990s is often faded, cracked and patched. If it's still solid, resurfacing gives it a uniform new finish.
Split-Level Transitions
Split-level and walk-out homes have lots of corners, steps and roof tie-ins, which is where cracks and leaks start.
Water at the Base of the Wall
Sprinklers, window wells and soil piled against the wall keep the bottom of the stucco wet. Buried weep screed is a common cause of damage.
Resurface or Replace
Sound stucco that looks tired can be resurfaced with a new base coat, mesh and finish. Soft spots or water behind the wall need repair or replacement first. Dallas inspects before he quotes.
