Common Stucco Issues in Rancho Santa Margarita
The 1990s one-coat stucco systems are now reaching the age where joint cracking and delamination become common. The foothill position exposes homes to particularly strong Santa Ana wind events channeling through Ortega Highway corridor. Wildfire risk from adjacent open space means homes on the urban edge face periodic heat exposure that can damage stucco finishes.

The texture blending was great and the finish matches perfectly. No more leaks since the repair.”
