Before and after - Cambria, CA

8 years ago

We had significant damage from a 130 ft tree that fell on our home. We ended up replacing the roof, stuccoing the home (Santa Barbara flat finish) and changing out the front door. The difference is pretty extreme and at first I didn't love the stucco, but I am warming to it. I would be interested to hear some feedback. What do you think?

I like it too. I would add some more landscaping & change the entry light fixture for something larger & more contemporary, & add a tall contemporary container with plants underneath it. And, if needed, large modern house numbers mounted vertically to the left ( pic left ). Btw, Cambria is very nice.

Completely different in appearance. The golden honey color of the stucco is very attractive.

House was attractive before, but, I like the now too. You have chosen well. Hopefully, no one was injured or hurt when that tree fell. It sounds huge. Did you have a lot of interior damage too?

The structural damage was minimal, but we had extensive water damage and the entire interior had to be torn out and replaced. Thankfully my family was not there when the tree fell. Our neighbors said it felt like an earthquake.
