Stucco for Somis homes

In Somis, stucco is as much about fire as appearance. Many older ranch houses and farmhouses have wood siding or wood trim, and replacing it with stucco on the walls facing brush, orchards or slopes is a common hardening step after the Mountain Fire. Stucco is noncombustible, and a properly installed three-coat wall holds up well.

We also repair existing stucco: cracks, damaged corners and walls where irrigation or soil has kept the base wet. Permits come from the County of Ventura for larger work.

This page covers Somis specifically. For materials, process and costs in general, see our stucco repair & installation page, and for permits and neighborhoods, our Somis service area page.

Planning stucco work in Somis

For many Somis owners, stucco planning starts with fire exposure. Walls facing brush, orchards or slopes are the highest priority for replacing wood siding, and we often recommend starting there and working around the house in phases if the budget calls for it. New stucco goes over a proper weather barrier, with flashing at every window and door.

Irrigation against the walls is a common cause of stucco damage on rural properties. Sprinklers that hit the wall every day keep the base wet and break the finish down over time. Part of the plan is adjusting irrigation and grading so water drains away from the house, and keeping the weep screed at the bottom of the wall clear of soil.

The County of Ventura may require a permit for larger stucco work, especially when the wall assembly changes. We confirm the requirement during the estimate and follow the Chapter 7A standards where they apply.

Stucco in Somis: FAQs

Should I replace wood siding with stucco in Somis?

On walls exposed to brush and slopes, it is a common and effective hardening step. Fiber cement is another noncombustible option.

Can you do it in phases?

Yes. Many owners start with the most exposed walls.

Does stucco work in Somis need a permit?

Siding replacement and larger repairs usually need a County permit.

Why is the stucco near my orchard crumbling?

Irrigation spray and wet soil against the wall keep the base wet. We fix the moisture and repair the stucco.

Can stucco go over the existing wood siding on my Somis farmhouse?

In some cases a stucco system can be installed over existing siding with the proper weather barrier and lath, but often removing the siding is better so we can inspect the framing and sheathing. We look at the condition of the wall before recommending one approach.
