Stucco Installation & Repair in Phoenix, AZ

Stucco holds up remarkably well in the desert, which is why it's the standard exterior finish here. It sheds water, resists UV, and gives a home a solid masonry feel. But it isn't maintenance-free — the desert sun dries it hard, soil movement cracks it, and water finds its way into those cracks.

Once water gets behind stucco, the damage gets worse quietly. Cracks widen, sections separate from the substrate, and you end up with hollow spots where water collects. Catching it early is the difference between a patch and a rebuild of the wall.

We repair cracks, patch holes from old fixtures and attachments, rebuild areas that have come loose from the substrate, and fix transitions at windows, doors and rooflines where water most often gets in. The goal is a repair that disappears — once it's painted, you shouldn't be able to find it.

That means matching the texture correctly, which is the part most bad patches get wrong. Whether your home has a fine sand float, a coarse texture or a dash finish, we match the pattern and the color so the repair reads as part of the wall rather than a rectangle of different stucco.

For new construction, additions, block walls and garage conversions, we install stucco over a properly prepared substrate with correct lath and scratch coat beneath. The prep is what determines whether stucco stays bonded and crack-free, so we don't shortcut it.

We also stucco block fences and retaining walls, which is a great way to make a masonry wall read as part of the house. Finished with a matching texture and paint, a stuccoed block wall looks intentional rather than like a fence.

We handle stucco installation, patching and repair throughout Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale, Mesa, Tempe, Goodyear, Avondale, Buckeye, Tolleson and Cave Creek. Cracks at wall corners, damage around windows and loose sections are the calls we get most.

Because we also do block walls and concrete, we can address the underlying cause — a failed wall, a settling base, a drainage problem — at the same time as the stucco. That way the repair holds instead of recurring.
