Ojai’s valleys are paradise, but when damage hits, it leaves more than cosmetic flaws.
Stucco issues aren’t just unsightly. They’re structural, regulated, and often costly. Cracks, erosion, moisture intrusion, and other exterior vulnerabilities can’t be handled with a patch and paint. They demand the gold standard, certified procedures, pro-level safety, and sealing built to withstand anything. So they call Total Restoration.
Because you don’t just need patching. You need certified, full-scope stucco repair that eliminates vulnerabilities at the source and gets your property fortified for safe use again.
We eliminate vulnerabilities in the facade, inside building materials, and across every surface that could carry risk. Once we’re done, the structure is secure for people to return.
Which is why Homeowners and businesses deal with vulnerabilities that come from the valleys, the hills, and the unexpected:
The risks include structural issues like rot, mold, weakening, and efflorescence that survive long after surfaces look smooth. In the valley climate, with intense sun and occasional heavy rains, these vulnerabilities spread deeper and linger longer. Which is why you won’t regret working with our stucco repair ojai specialists.
Not really. What looks like a simple crack could hide moisture damage spreading under the surface. Our stucco repair ojai professionals use protective suits, respirators, and commercial-grade sealants to make sure the repair is safe and permanent.
If you see any cracks, bulging, or dark spots, don’t wait. Those are early signs of water intrusion or foundation stress. Specialists can stop the damage before it expands and becomes more expensive.
Most of the time, yes—especially for sudden incidents like leaks or storms. Restoration companies document every step so you have solid proof for your insurance provider.
Even small areas can be risky. Without containment or PPE, fine dust can move through air ducts. Professional crews prevent that and make sure the air stays clean.
Cracks and residue often carry salts, mold, or bacteria. When disturbed, those contaminants can travel indoors. Certified disposal ensures nothing harmful is left behind.
It depends on the damage. A small patch might finish in a day; widespread moisture could take several. Crews don’t leave until all tests confirm the structure is safe.
They wear Tyvek suits, gloves, and respirators. For higher-risk jobs, they add boot covers and powered respirators to stay fully protected.
Every project follows OSHA safety regulations and IICRC restoration procedures. These rules ensure everything is handled safely from start to finish.
Usually within 90 minutes. Emergency teams work around the clock, starting containment as soon as they arrive.
Yes. After testing and inspection, you’ll receive written proof that the structure is dry, clean, and ready for normal use again.
Ojai’s mix of seismic activity and aging infrastructure makes stucco incidents more severe and harder to control:
As a result, properties face an increased risk of fast-moving damage that penetrates far beneath the surface. That’s why this demands certified stucco repair ojai crews, specialized containment, and region-specific remediation protocols, not just basic patching.
Posted on Marge MosleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was sound asleep when a stolen car driven by teens crashed through my back fence in the middle of the night. I was totally unprepared for what I needed to do next so I called Total Restoration, which turned out to be the best move that I could have made. I highly recommend them should you have a situation that requires an Emergency Service company.They truly are a 24/7 company and were willing to come out during the middle of the night to perform an emergency board up. The (crew consisting of 1 Supervisor and an additional employee) arrived within 40 minutes of my call. They immediately began to clean up and board up my property, from that initial contact on, Total Restoration helped to walk me though the process of dealing with my insurance co and restoring my property to its original condition. They always arrived to work when they said that they would and before they left for the day they always let me know what would happen next and when they would be back. Everyone I had contact with from the front office all the way down to the field personnel were friendly, polite and knowledgeable about what need to happen and when. It was a pleasure to work with them and they definitely took a lot of stress off me as they totally guided me through the entire rebuild process. They are a fantastic company to work with!Posted on Robyn VanTolTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys did smoke remediation on our house in the Palisades. They did a great job walking us through the process and were very fast in getting us a quote and starting the job. Very appreciative of them.Posted on Alan ETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely a great company to work with. Excellent work Excellent staff Very professionalPosted on Holly HolderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience working with Total Restoration to reconstruct our kitchen after water damage leak was honestly the best service we could have asked for. From the moment we met with Blake who did our estimate and walked me through every single question I had and really worked with us and our insurance agent. Jeff was our project manager and he was not only very personable & great to work with, he worked tirelessly to get us back in our home before Christmas. Not only that but we worked our budget to get us all that we needed and more to get our house back to a home. Thank you to the entire team!! Our home restoration would not have been as smooth with the company our insurance recommended I know that.Posted on Randy J Reyes JrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company and very professional. Chris is very knowledgeable and experienced. They take on small and big jobs, if your looking for someone this team is the one to hire.Posted on Sally Ponce-O'RourkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Total Restoration whether you have a small job (like in our bathroom) or a challenging one like with our condominium. First, they had to find the window leaks and because it is a 3 story building, had to erect scaffolding on the outside of the condo. They replaced drywall and surprisingly did an incredible job matching the old paint on the interior walls. Jeff Wilson and his team were professional and at the same time approachable. Our daughter & fiancé live in the condo in a different city than where we live. Jeff kept us informed (including pictures] every step of the way which alleviated any concerns we might have had. Also, being my husband is in the construction business, we knew the cost was reasonable and the results were amazing. Guarantee, Total Restoration will be the first & only company we will call when we need a job done right!Load more

Stucco repair in Ojai requires more than standard industry procedures. Dry heat and occasional storms accelerate the spread of cracks, and once moisture combines with structural weaknesses, damage multiplies faster.
For homes near hills or valleys, we recommend whole-home dehumidifiers to maintain safe indoor moisture levels year-round. Foundations and walls should be lined with moisture barriers to prevent degradation regrowth. Tree root entry points should be sealed to avoid intrusion from heaving. We suggest scheduling annual moisture and structure integrity checks for all multi-unit complexes.
Acting immediately safeguards health, coverage, and structure.
When you’re dealing with cracks, leaks, or structural vulnerabilities, the last thing you should have to fight is your insurance company. They’ll try to spin legitimate loss into “maintenance.” Total Restoration makes sure you’re paid fairly, not brushed off.
Here’s how we protect Ojai homeowners and businesses:
Unverified work means trouble. With Total Restoration, your claim clears and your coverage stays complete with our full service.
