Matching an existing stucco finish is a craft question, not a product question. Two walls can use the same mix and look nothing alike depending on how wet the finish went on, what tool moved it, and how long it sat before it was worked. The existing texture is read first: the size of the aggregate, the direction of the trowel, whether the surface was floated in circles or knocked back flat, and how deep the relief runs. Sample panels are worked on site and set against the wall in daylight rather than judged under a work light. Only when a panel disappears against the original does the finish go on the elevation, worked with the same tool and the same timing that produced the panel, since how the material is handled is half the texture.
Before any number is discussed on a Pasadena wall, the existing finish is read: aggregate size, trowel direction, how deep the relief runs, and what is left of the substrate underneath it. Sample work is raised at that point, since a match that has to be developed on site is a different piece of work from a straight recoat. The areas, the coats and the texture to be reproduced go into the detailed scope of work from the Onsite Visit + Free Estimate, with a remodeling consultation alongside it. Nothing about the visit is billed. Permits are handled by MyCali Builders, which is licensed and insured, and finished stucco carries a warranty of 5 years.
Pasadena area
Stucco is the outside face of a house, and matching an existing texture drives the work. Linda Vista, Bungalow Heaven and Hastings Ranch are neighborhood names in Pasadena, and the Rose Bowl and Old Pasadena are landmarks. Pasadena homes range from older character properties to hillside lots, so we check finish details early, and stucco is where that shows.
Neighborhoods served: Bungalow Heaven, Madison Heights, Hastings Ranch, Linda Vista.

I recently hired My Cali Builders for a backyard remodel and couldn't be happier.
Danny and his team were professional, punctual, and easy to communicate with.
They really paid attention to the details and brought my vision to life.
The quality of the work exceeded my expectations from start to finish.
Everything was done cleanly and on schedule, which I really appreciated.
Danny made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
The backyard now looks amazing and feels like a completely new space.
I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable contractors.
Was very impressed! Prompt. Highly professional. Thorough. Excellent feedback and service while response completing my job. I absolutely would hire them again and recommend them without any concerns!
I began my Yelp search for a company to perform structural repairs and ultimately chose 5 companies, scheduling each of them for a representative to visit and discuss my needs. I chose My Cali Builders based upon Danny's (owner) review of the work and how he defined the scope of the work. The other representatives vacillated on the scope of the work and attached various caveats. My Cali Builders also gave me the best bid. So I hired them and boy, am I glad I did. Work was performed quickly, efficiently and the finish work was excellent. Every task I initially discussed with Danny was completed. Danny's crew including Francisco and Jaime, were top notch and pleasant. Each day, refuse and trash were removed. Every day, Danny either visited or texted to advise on progress and to insure the work was progressing as discussed and to ask if I was satisfied and happy. I can't convey in words how much I appreciated My Cali Builders. Look no further, they are the best I've ever encountered.
Danny Raz is a man of action; the work was done promptly and even finished ahead of schedule. The workers were polite, respectful, of cleaned up well after the job.
