Stucco Contractor for
Forest Hills Homes
Forest Hills is one of Queens' most architecturally significant neighborhoods — the planned 1909 Forest Hills Gardens community plus surrounding 1920s-1930s blocks of Tudor Revival, English Cottage, Mediterranean Revival, and Spanish Colonial homes. Stucco is everywhere in Forest Hills — full Tudor stucco facades with half-timber detailing on Greenway North/South, Burns Street, Ascan Avenue, and across the Forest Hills Gardens; mediterranean stucco on Continental Avenue; and decorative stucco accents on the larger English-style homes.
Forest Hills stucco work is highly specialized. Forest Hills Gardens specifically has its own design review process through the Forest Hills Gardens Corporation — visible exterior changes need approval, and material/color matching must be precise. Outside the Gardens, the historic-character expectations are still high — Forest Hills homeowners want stucco repairs that look like they were never made.
Common Forest Hills stucco issues we handle: original 1920s lime-cement stucco that's cracked or weathered, half-timber Tudor detailing failures, water staining at decorative cornices and pediments, chimney stack stucco damage, and EIFS additions from 1980s-90s renovations that need restoration. We mix our stucco to match original color/aggregate, work with painted finishes when applicable, and handle Forest Hills Gardens Corporation review filings.
We serve all of Forest Hills including ZIP 11375 and the Forest Hills Gardens, plus neighboring Rego Park, Kew Gardens, and Forest Hills South.
