Two Woodbridges, and which one your house is in
Woodbridge is a community in the City of Vaughan. For stucco work it splits in two: the old village along the Humber River is a Heritage Conservation District with its own plan, and the subdivisions around it are not. On the streets below, the City has a say in what goes on your walls.
Inside the district
- Kipling Avenuemost lots, Gordon Dr to Rainbow Dr
- Woodbridge Avenue
- William Street
- James Street
- Wallace Street
- Park Drive
- Clarence Streetnorth to Mounsey St
- Abell, Cheltenham, Burwick Avesome properties
Left out of it
- Rosebury Lane and Rosewood Court
- the properties east of Islington Avenue
- part of Meeting House Road
From section 5.2 of the Woodbridge Heritage Conservation District Plan on vaughan.ca. The City's Cultural Services staff can confirm a single address.
Which stucco jobs need a heritage permit in the district
Part 8 of the plan lists the work that needs a Heritage Permit and the work that does not. We sorted our usual jobs by it, with the section each answer comes from.
| The job | Inside the district | Where the plan says so |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting out split caulking at windows and joints and sealing them again | No heritage permit | Section 8.3.1.1 names caulking, window repair and weatherstripping as exempt. |
| Repainting a stucco wall | Heritage permit | Painting is on the permit list in 8.3.1 and missing from the exempt list. |
| Patching cracks or a broken piece of the original stucco | Heritage permit | 8.3.1 lists repair and restoration of original elements. |
| A new finish over brick, siding or old stucco | Heritage permit | 8.3.1 covers new or different cladding. Section 7.1.1 adds that a worn brick wall should be repaired, not covered. |
| Rebuilding a section where the wall behind the stucco has failed | Heritage + building permit | 8.3.2.1 puts structural repairs to walls, porches, chimneys and roofs on both. |
| Parging a foundation | Ask the City first | Part 8 does not name parging. The foundation guideline in 7.1.3 recommends pointing, then parging and damp-proofing below grade. |
The application starts with a pre-review by Cultural Services and goes to the Heritage Vaughan committee. The plan says that when its guidelines are followed there is usually little or no delay. Our fixed written quote describes the work, so you can attach it to the application, and the crew is booked once the permit is in. Foundation work outside the district is on our parging page.
The district plan also picks the stucco
Traditional stucco
Section 7.1.4 calls it a legitimate historic material and describes the mix as lime, portland cement or both, with sand.
Where stucco is part of a building's style, the plan says traditional stucco should be used.
Acrylic over foam
The same section describes modern stucco as thin acrylic and mesh glued to polystyrene, and says it should be avoided except in rare cases.
The reason it gives: used in the wrong place, it takes away from the building's historic look.
We install both. On an older house in the district we quote a cement-based finish that matches what is already on the wall, and keep acrylic and EIFS for the newer streets. How the two finishes behave over the years is on our acrylic vs traditional stucco page.
On the streets around the old village
Sonoma Heights, Vellore Village, Weston Downs, Pine Valley, Elder Mills and the streets between them sit outside the district. No heritage permit, so the job comes down to the wall: what finish is on it, how the joints have held up and how we reach the high gables.
Most calls from here are about a finish that has faded or turned chalky and sealant that has split at the windows and corners. That is a stucco restoration: repairs first, then the joints, then whole elevations recoated so there is no patch to match. If only the joints have gone, our caulking page covers that job on its own.
For the rest of the city, from Maple to Kleinburg, see our Vaughan stucco contractor page.

These are the same ranges as on every page of this site. Inside the district, matching an old cement finish takes more hand work than a new acrylic coat, and that shows in the quote.
