Restoration & Waterproofing in San Francisco

Victorian restoration, dry-rot and water-damage repair, stucco and flashing — fixing what's under the paint, not painting over it.

Peeling trim and soft, rotting wood are signs the damage has moved past the paint. Tara Pro repairs and rebuilds the dry rot, water damage, stucco and flashing on San Francisco's Victorians and older buildings — restoring what's underneath so the finish coat has something sound to hold onto.

Restoring San Francisco’s older buildings

Tara Pro restores and protects San Francisco’s older and Victorian properties:

  • Victorian facade restoration and detailing
  • Dry-rot and wood repair
  • Water-damage repair
  • Stucco repair
  • Flashing and leak fixes

The skill is under the paint

Anyone can roll on a finish coat. The real work is diagnosing and fixing what’s underneath — finding the source of water intrusion, replacing rotted wood, repairing damaged stucco, and matching Victorian trim and detail before anything gets painted. We fix the cause, not just the symptom.

Materials & methods

We use specialty patching compounds and stucco mixes, replace rotted wood rather than filling it, and install proper sealants and flashing systems. On Victorians, trim profiles and colors are matched to what’s already there.

Why Tara Pro for restoration

Rotted wood replaced, failing stucco repaired, and water traced back to where it’s actually getting in, before anything gets a finish coat. Diamond Certified, EPA Lead-Safe certified, CSLB-licensed and fully insured — and the person who diagnosed the problem is the one who stands behind the fix.

Frequently asked questions

How do you tell dry rot or water damage from ordinary surface wear?

We assess it at the estimate — probing suspect wood and tracing where water is getting in through stucco, flashing or trim — so you know what actually needs repair before anything is painted.

Can you handle the repairs and the repaint as one project?

Yes. We can fix the dry rot, water damage and stucco and then apply the finish, so the same crew that repairs the building is the one that paints it.

What if the damage turns out to be structural?

We'll tell you plainly. We focus on restoration, repair and waterproofing rather than structural construction, so if a problem runs deeper we'll flag it instead of painting over it.

Do you waterproof and repair stucco, or just paint over it?

We repair it. Cracked or failing stucco lets water into the wall, so we patch and re-seal the stucco and address the flashing behind it before any finish goes on — painting over failing stucco just traps the problem.

Can restoration work be done in San Francisco's rainy season?

Often, yes. Interior repairs and many protected exterior repairs continue through the winter, and wet weather actually makes a leak easier to trace to its source. We schedule the repair itself around the forecast so it can dry and cure properly before the finish coat goes on.
