If you need stucco installation in Scottsdale, AZ, we install full stucco systems on new construction, home additions, and walls that are ready for their first finish coat.

We handle stucco only, so the work and the vocabulary match exactly what you are asking for.

What Our Stucco Installation Covers

Stucco installation is its own job, different from stucco repair or stucco patching. Here is the work this page covers:

  • New construction stucco. Full three-coat stucco on newly framed walls, from lath and paper through the finish coat, done in the right sequence with the right cure times.
  • Home additions. New stucco on an addition, tied into your existing stucco walls so the transition does not announce itself. We handle stucco color matching and stucco texture matching as part of the job.
  • First finish coats. Walls that were framed, wrapped, or based out but never finished. We check what is there, then bring the wall to a completed finish coat.
  • Full stucco replacement. When the existing stucco is too far gone for crack repair or patching, we strip it and install new stucco from the base up. If your walls only need repair, we will tell you that instead. See our stucco repair and stucco resurfacing work for damaged but salvageable walls.
  • Exterior stucco walls of all kinds. House walls, garden walls, and perimeter walls. Stucco walls exterior work is our focus; we do not install stucco on interior walls, though we can point you in the right direction if a stucco wall interior look is what you are after.
  • Texture and finish selection. From smooth to sand to heavier stucco textures, we walk you through the options and show you samples before anything goes on the wall.

If you found us searching for stucco contractors near me and your wall needs a patch rather than a full install, that is a different job and often a smaller one. We do that too.

How Stucco Installation Works in Scottsdale

Here is the actual process from first contact to finished wall.

1. Site visit and scope

We look at the walls in person. On new construction or an addition, we check the framing, sheathing, and any existing weather barrier. On a replacement, we look for water damage, failing lath, or exterior wall damage that has to be corrected before new stucco goes on. You get a written scope that says exactly what we will install and where.

2. Prep, paper, and lath

Good stucco starts under the surface. We install the weather-resistive barrier, lath, and trim accessories like weep screeds and corner beads. This layer is what keeps monsoon moisture out of your framing, so we do not rush it.

3. Scratch and brown coats

We apply the scratch coat, let it cure, then apply the brown coat that builds the wall to its full thickness and flat plane. The stucco mix, coat thickness, and cure times follow the system spec, not a shortcut schedule. This is the difference between a stucco wall that lasts decades and one that cracks in year two.

4. Finish coat and texture

The finish coat is what you see every day. We match the texture and color to your existing home or apply the new finish you picked, then walk the walls with you before we call it done. If anything looks off, we fix it before we leave.

What Affects the Price of Your Scottsdale Stucco Installation

No two installs cost the same, and anyone who quotes you sight unseen is guessing. The honest factors:

  • Wall area. Total square footage drives material and labor more than anything else. A single addition wall and a whole-house install are different projects.
  • Wall condition and prep. New framing that is ready for lath costs less to stucco than a replacement job where old material has to come off and water damage has to be repaired first.
  • Access and height. Single-story walls with clear access go faster than two-story walls, tight side yards, or areas that need scaffolding.
  • Finish and texture choice. A standard sand finish and a hand-troweled smooth finish take different amounts of skilled time. Color matching and texture matching to existing walls adds a step.
  • Details and openings. Windows, doors, arches, pop-outs, and foam trim all add lath work and finish time.

We do not publish flat rates because they would be wrong for your specific walls. Request a quote, we will look at the project, and you will get a number tied to your actual scope.

Why Scottsdale, AZ Chooses Us

We do stucco. Not roofing, not painting, not a dozen unrelated trades with stucco buried in the middle of the list. That focus means when you describe holes in a wall, hairline cracks, or a bare addition that needs its first coat, we know exactly what you mean and what it takes to fix or finish it.

Scottsdale homeowners usually find us after two frustrating stops: national remodeling platforms that treat stucco as one line item among many, and thin local listings that offer a phone number and nothing else. We built this site to be the opposite, a direct local point of contact with clear information about the work itself.

We serve Scottsdale first, along with the immediate surrounding area including Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Guadalupe, and Phoenix. If you searched stucco near me from any of those areas, you are in our footprint.

Stucco Installation Questions, Answered

How long does stucco installation take?

Longer than most people expect, and that is by design. Traditional three-coat stucco needs cure time between the scratch coat, brown coat, and finish coat, so even a modest project spans multiple visits over one to several weeks. Rushing cure times is how walls end up cracking early.

Can I use a stucco patch kit instead of hiring someone?

A stucco patch kit or rapid set stucco patch works for a small cosmetic hole, but it is not a substitute for installation. Kits sit on top of an existing system; installation builds the system itself, including the weather barrier and lath that keep water out of your framing. If your project involves bare walls or large areas, patch products will not hold up.

Do you supply the stucco, or do I buy materials?

We handle the stucco supply as part of the job, including the stucco mix, lath, paper, and trim accessories. That matters because the coats have to be compatible with each other and applied at the right thickness. You pick the finish texture and color; we bring everything else.

Can new stucco match my existing walls?

Yes, matching is a standard part of how we work. We match both the texture and the color of your existing stucco so an addition or replaced section blends with the rest of the house. We test the match on the wall before finishing the full area.

Is stucco a good choice for Scottsdale weather?

Yes, stucco is one of the most common exterior finishes in the Phoenix area for good reason. It handles intense sun and heat well, and a properly installed system with a correct weather barrier sheds monsoon rain. The key word is properly installed; most stucco failures trace back to shortcuts under the finish coat.

Do you install stucco on interior walls?

No, we focus on exterior stucco walls. Interior stucco and plaster finishes are a different trade with different materials. If you want that look inside, ask us and we will tell you what to look for in an interior plaster contractor.
