Tex-Cote Removal Service
Is the exterior paint of your house quickly falling apart? Are you seeing large chunks of paint stripping away? If so, you could be dealing with a Tex-Cote disaster. We offer commercial and residential tex-cote removal service in Los Angeles and South Bay.
Tex-Cote is an exterior elastomeric paint with texture added. It is referred to as the ideal choice for keeping a weather-proof home. Cool Wall, the popular choice amongst homeowners, is sold as a "military-grade" heat reflection formula. Unfortunately, with enough time, you can begin to see peeling, cracking, and flaking. Usually a symptom of improperly applied Tex-Cote, but it can also peel with age. We've seen homes start to crumble within five years of using Tex-Cote paint.
If significant areas of your walls are crumbling away we can help you diagnose the problem. We have several options available to deal with this unfortunate problem.
Here's an outline of the general approach we take to solving Tex-Cote failure.
