Lemon Grove Stucco Inc.

We obtained three bids to stucco our rental in El Cajon (Nurse Stucco & Bolan Stucco). All three bids were about the same. We decided to go with Lemon Grove Stucco because the sales presentation and recommendation from our painting contractor. The job was done to our satisfaction but there were bumps along the way.
Cliff neglected to tell us or our renter to remove items from the walls that might fall as they were prepping the house. On the first day a hand made wood item fell to the ground and was broken. Cliff offered to pay for it but it something our renter had gotten while on vacation in another state and the value was unknown.
On the second day Cliff did not show up at the work site. He said that he was ill and had been «locked out» of his phone and was unable to make or recieve calls.
On the same day a water pipe was broken as soil was being moved from around the foundation. The job foreman, James, told our renter «don’t worry about it. We broke it so we’ll fix it». The next time we saw Cliff we were presented with a $ 275.00 bill to repair the pipe. Cliff said that the pipe was old and ready to break so he could not be held responsible for it. We offered a 50 – 50 compromise but he refused it and we paid the bill.
The day after the job was completed our renter noticed that the sprinkler control box was full of stucco and her sprinklers wouldn’t work. Cliff went out the next day and removed the stucco from the box, pulling out some wires. He again said that the system was old, which we acknowledged, but it was working perfectly prior to stucco getting into the mechanism and we felt he should repair it. The system was repaired after almost two weeks.
Although the quality of Cliff’s work appears to be very good, the issues along the way were frustrating. We realize there are problems with every job but it would have been a lot less frustrating if Cliff had returned our phone calls and/​or kept us informed.

Cliff had re-​stuccoed my aunts house and had done a great job. I met with him to get an est. for my house. We talked and he was super informative and helped me out with my stucco situation. He was here on time and very nice. I would recommend him to another family or friend

Thank you Lemon Grove Stucco. We just had our home done this week, and they did an amazing job. Our house had the old wood siding that was just ugly. Now our home looks new and refreshed.
The foreman James and his crew were awesome. They worked so hard even in the heat. They were professional and courteous while they worked on our home. Thank you again for making our home look good again.

This is an important and fair update of my previous review for Lemon Grove Stucco. Cliff at LG Stucco called me and explained why there had been such a delay in responding to my inquiries. He personally took charge at that point and twice came to our house in Julian to inspect the problem areas and then attended to them with a worker who was also sincerely interested in correcting the problem areas. They brought and applied exact-​match stucco patches and offered advice on what can be done to prevent any further problems. At this point I am a satisfied customer and can recommend LG Stucco without reservations.

I own a 60 year old home, wood siding. I am exploring options for either repair or refinishing. I read all the reviews on LG Stucco, and realized this company has been in business nearly as long as mine, AND THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES of their service, product, and overall customer care. I emailed them in the evening, and got a follow up email and call the next morning. Cliff, the owner, came out to see me He was on time, pleasant, knowledgeable and very professional. His bid was very fair. While I have decided not to stucco the house, I felt compelled to write a glowing review of this service. I know that this company is top notch, and would recommend you call and experience a great family owned and operated business!

Best job for stucco you can find in San Diego by far. We are the third happy customer in our neighborhood. This old house has become a beautiful home now with the outside matching up to the highest standards for re-​stucco. Thank you to James and the crew who finished the job in a very timely manner and left the place spotless.

As part of a major re-​landscaping I decided I wanted to paint the house, which then turned into a stucco repair which then turned into a stucco re-​do. Cliff Davenport is the kind of contractor we all hope to meet: honest, knows his stuff, fair prices and good follow through.
It turns out because of the age of my house, sandblasting would have been prohibitively expensive. Cliff recommended an acrylic stucco which could be custom blended to have the exact paint color I had chosen for the house. Apparently many contractors will sandblast the house and hope the city doesn’t find out (lead paint issues). I appreciated Cliff’s business ethics and that he does things the right way.
The stucco job had to be coordinated with my landscape contractor and the two worked together seamlessly. James, the Lemon Grove foreman, was a pleasure to work with… James’ crew even came back after the landscape job was over to do touch up of the areas that were dinged about by the construction. The house looks amazing and I have received numerous compliments from neighbors on the job, the color and the professionalism of the crew. They handled my neighbors with kid gloves.
Lemon Grove also offered a 12 months interest free plan which allowed me to pay for the job out of my cash flow rather than committing my savings to the job. It was totally painless!
It’s too often that we meet contractors that we will «never call again.» It was nice to meet one that I would not hesitate to recommend or use again in the future.
