During inspection of the attic it was identified that we might have a leak issue at the roof line. I called five different Stucco companies that were referred to me for a repair and none of them were licensed. I found Joe who is licensed and he saved us! We were up against the clock in order to close. I was not a repeat Customer. This was the first time I ever dealt with him so he owed me nothing yet he treated me like we were the most important people. He did our repairs over a weekend to be ready for reinspection. His communication was on point and he could have really gouged me price wise but didn't. His number is now forever in my contacts, if you need stucco work at your home this is the guy to call!!

During the huge rains we had in Oceanside we developed a leak in our second floor bathroom in the area below a window. Various companies I called were not interested in trying to figure out the source of the problem and just blamed the windows. When I called Joseph however it was a different story. He is extremely detail oriented and took the time to investigate the potential causes. He determined it was from cracked stucco near the window, but not the window itself. Which made perfect sense with the location and behavior of the leak. He meticulously started opening up the stucco to see the extent of the damage. He found the paper under the stucco had deteriorated pretty severely on that wall due to the extreme sun exposure over the years. He continued to open it up until he was comfortable that he had exposed all the issues. After replacing all the damaged areas, stuccoing the entire wall and repainting, you couldn't even tell the whole side had been opened up. He even took the time to examine all the windows above the area of the leak for any damage, and thoroughly cleaned them and even resealed them. We also had Joseph remove a statue from an alcove and re stucco the area. And again, his work was impeccable. Paint matching was perfect. He took pictures of everything as he worked, he explained all of the things he was doing and why he was doing them. His pricing was very fair and communication was very good. On a personal note, he was a pleasure to work with. I appreciate his attention to detail, and his quality work. But he was also just a kind and friendly person to talk with. He would even offer to pick up food or supplies for us if we needed anything when he was on his way or getting supplies. I highly recommend Joseph in all regards.

It's a lot like owning a boat but I love the place. The exterior is covered with shake singles. They've been rotting and have provided a constant source of yummy food for the termites for many years. I have had several handymen and painters that promised they'd rehabilitate the shingles. Either they don't fix all the shingles or they do a bad job. I had almost given up. I found Excel Siding on "Thumbtack" I think. Finally I got someone that knows what they're doing. It wasn't cheap but l could see it was a lot of work. The inexpensive guys (handymen and painters) didn't charge much but didn't the job done either. So I'm happy with these guys and in a couple years (good grief) I'll probably have to hire them again.

I agreed to go with Stubbins on Friday. By Monday, Mike A had sent a team to color match the paint needed, and by COB, had completed the project. The front of my house now looks gorgeous!

When my 24-year-old rental property needed a full exterior repaint due to an HOA color scheme update, I took my time finding the right team. I spent a couple of weeks researching recommended painters through my brokerage network and Yelp. I narrowed it down to four contractors for in-person estimates, carefully evaluating ratings, review volume, project timelines, and line-by-line bid breakdowns to ensure a true apples-to-apples comparison. I even paid close attention to critical feedback across reviews to gauge potential risks. Stubbins Painting immediately set themselves apart. Beyond their stellar metrics, they asked thoughtful, detailed questions during our initial walkthrough and offered fantastic suggestions to make the house look its best. Once scheduled, the execution was flawless. They arrived right on time and took extreme care in prepping the site and protecting the surroundings. Gabriel and Rene were absolute professionals throughout the process--keeping me updated via text on timing, options, and progress. Their attention to detail was second to none. This was a complex job on a large house with a 3-car garage, four exterior doors, numerous windows and shutters, and more architectural pop-outs than I can count. Yet every line was crisp, and the finish was immaculate. During our final walkthrough, they told me, "We aren't leaving until you are 100% satisfied." I couldn't be happier with the results. Stubbins Painting is now my official go-to contractor for my own properties, and they will be my top recommendation for all of my real estate clients moving forward.

The wall had a long-running moisture issue that caused bubbling in the painted finish, so we wanted to cover it with stone veneer while still allowing the wall to breathe and drain properly. Hugo helped think through the right system, including creating an air gap behind the new veneer, and the installation was done beautifully. Once the prep work was complete, Christian applied the stone veneer, and his attention to detail was outstanding. The wall is an irregular shape with slopes, steps, angles, and awkward transitions, but he cut each stone carefully so the finished wall looks seamless and intentional. That level of patience and perfectionism is rare to see. Both Hugo and Christian were courteous, professional, and easy to have around the house. They kept the job site clean, tidied everything up at the end, and even hauled away the empty brick pallets, which was not part of the original scope, at no extra charge. The pricing was fair, the workmanship was excellent, and the finished wall looks great. I would definitely use Superior Stucco and Stone again!

Years ago, we had our AC units relocated to another part of the yard / house so while the units were gone and the pipes closed, they were still sticking out of the wall. After reviewing a half dozen stucco companies, we hired Pat and his team to properly remove the unsightly pipes and repair the stucco on the side of the house. Additionally, in the process of preparing the house for painting, we removed a ton of bougainvillea and shrubs that were along the house and retaining wall so they can paint. Once removed, it uncovered a lot of stucco damage to our retaining wall so I reached out to Pat to have those added to the job. To add to the chaos, we were getting our roof AND whole exterior part of the house pressure washed so I wanted to make sure that didn't conflict with the work that Pat and his team were going to do. Pat was very accommodating with our schedule and put our mind at ease that all would be fine with the timing of everything else going on. Carlos and Jose P. came to do the job on a Friday and went right to work prepping the area before any work was done. Carlos repaired the retaining wall and was a master at cleaning up the corners and edges to match the rest of the wall. You can't even tell that there were any cracks or chips -- and he color matched the wall perfectly. It looks like a brand new wall! The side of the house...oh my goodness! More perfection. We've been looking at these ugly pipes and the terrible stucco patch job for years and it was such a relief to finally have them gone. Better yet, it looks as if they were never there!! Jose did such an INCREDIBLE JOB on the stucco - we could not have asked for better. Yes, we could have just left and painted over and all would have been fine but hiring Pat and his team was the right call and we are so happy with the work done. Our painters came the following Monday and they were really impressed with the work done too and asked for Pat's number. I was more than happy to pass along and I will continue to recommend Pat whenever I can. I know I went to a lot of detail but I just wanted to accurately express how much we appreciated Pat and his team. So many times we hire contractors and while we are thrilled the project is done, you feel meh about the work. Not at all the case here. Pat and his team checked all the boxes for someone who is pretty particular (aka. OCD) and hard to please when it comes to something visual (hey, I'm in marketing). Pat was knowledgeable, responsive, honest about the work needing to be done, fair in pricing, timely, provided a superb team with excellent skills--and they left the job as if they were never here. We are so pleased with the job done at our home and we hope you consider Pat on your next project. You won't regret it!
