1970s Fourplex Transformation – Full Stucco Resurfacing & Paint Upgrade
Mountain View
At Cal Painting and Plastering, we recently completed a major exterior upgrade on a 1970s fourplex that was ready for a modern refresh.
While the property had received a few updates over the years, it was beginning to show its age—especially in a neighborhood that has undergone significant modernization. Surrounded by newly updated homes and contemporary finishes, this building needed more than just another coat of paint to keep up.
Why Painting Alone Wasn’t Enough
After evaluating the exterior, we explained to the owner that painting over aging surfaces would only provide a temporary improvement. The underlying stucco had wear and surface imperfections that would still show through, no matter how good the paint was.
Instead, we recommended a full stucco resurfacing to properly restore and modernize the exterior.
The Solution: Complete Resurfacing & Professional Paint Finish
Our team:
-
Prepped and repaired all existing exterior surfaces
-
Applied a fresh stucco resurfacing system to create a smooth, updated texture
-
Finished with a high-quality exterior paint system for long-term durability
The resurfacing gave us a clean canvas to work with, dramatically improving the building’s appearance and structural integrity.
The Result: A Contemporary, Cohesive Look
The final outcome completely transformed the property. What once looked dated now has a fresh, contemporary finish that fits seamlessly into its newly modernized neighborhood.
While it was more involved than a simple paint job, the long-term value and visual impact made it the right investment. The building now stands out—in the right way.
If your property is aging and paint alone won’t deliver the results you want, Cal Painting and Plastering specializes in full exterior resurfacing, stucco upgrades, and professional painting solutions built to last.
