Stucco, EIFS & Painting in La Grange & Western Springs, IL
La Grange and Western Springs sit on the BNSF line with walkable downtowns and streets of 1900s-to-1930s houses that have mostly been kept rather than replaced. There is new construction here, but the defining exterior work is additions, dormers and restorations on houses that are approaching or past a century old.

Working in La Grange
A lot of that original stucco is still doing its job. Where it has failed, it is almost always at a detail: a porch roof that was reframed without a kickout, a window that was replaced without reworking the flashing, or a grade that has crept up the wall over eighty years of landscaping. Those are fixable, and fixing them is more sensible than tearing the wall off.
La Grange's historic district and Western Springs' Old Town both bring village review into the conversation on visible elevations, which mostly means matching what is there. That suits us — texture matching is the part of this trade we are most particular about.
La Grange specifics
What we tend to find on La Grange houses
Every town in Chicagoland has its own housing stock and its own weather exposure. These are the things that come up here.
Stucco over wood lath
Pre-1930s walls here are often stucco on wood lath rather than metal. It behaves differently when you cut into it, and the repair has to account for that rather than treating it like a modern wall.
Porch and roof-to-wall junctions
Front porches, dormers and reframed roofs are the usual source of water on these houses. A missing kickout diverter above a porch roof will ruin the wall below it, every single winter, until somebody puts one in.
Additions that have to disappear
A rear addition on a 1920s house is judged on whether you can tell where the old wall stopped. That is a sampling and stop-line problem, and it is worth the extra day it takes.
