“Outdated to Outstanding” — A Modern Stucco Upgrade for Timeless Homes
If your home is beautifully built but stuck with an outdated exterior, you might be wondering:
- “What’s the modern stucco style I keep seeing?”
- “Can I smooth out my old textured stucco?”
- “How do I make my home look more clean and elegant from the outside?”
At Nu Wall Inc, we specialize in stucco restyling and drywall upgrades throughout San Diego and the surrounding coastal communities. One of our most requested services is a complete exterior refresh using the timeless and elegant Santa Barbara stucco finish.
💡 What Is a Santa Barbara Finish?
The Santa Barbara finish is a smooth, hand-troweled stucco look that adds a refined, high-end texture to your home. Unlike rough dash or heavy lace textures common in homes from the 80s and 90s, this finish delivers a sleek, contemporary style that reflects light softly and complements both modern and Mediterranean-style architecture.
📍 Popular in homes from Encinitas, La Jolla, Del Mar, Solana Beach, and Rancho Santa Fe, this finish is the go-to choice for homeowners looking to modernize without the cost of a full renovation.
🛠️ Why Restucco Instead of Paint?
Painting over existing stucco may seem like a shortcut, but it doesn’t solve the real problem: the outdated texture and potential underlying damage.
With a full restucco, you get:
- New base and finish coats
- Repair of cracks, delamination, or water damage
- Modern weatherproofing, flashing, and optional anti-fracture systems
- A finish that actually transforms the look of your home — not just the color

👩💼 Why Homeowners — Especially Women — Are Choosing This Upgrade
More and more women are leading their household’s design decisions, and we consistently hear this:
- “I want something clean, soft, modern — not that rough stucco look we had in the ‘90s.”
The smooth Santa Barbara finish is:
- Timeless
- Easy to match with contemporary upgrades (black windows, natural wood doors, warm lighting)
- Great for high-end coastal homes looking for a polished but inviting curb appeal
It’s the upgrade that says “this home is loved and current.”
