Why is drywall repair different in North Coastal San Diego?

New-construction stucco homes in Carlsbad and Oceanside were framed fast and finished with standard orange-peel texture, easy to match on patch work. The bigger issue in this zone is nail pops from the rapid temperature swings between summer heat and cool marine-layer nights, which cause framing lumber to shrink and push fasteners through the drywall face.
