Exterior stucco is one of the most common finishes in South Florida — and one of the most demanding to get right. We apply stucco to residential and commercial buildings using proper layering techniques that bond correctly with the structure. A clean, even application makes a difference in how long the finish holds up against heat, rain, and humidity. Done right the first time, it protects your property for years.

Cracks, holes, and water damage are not just cosmetic problems. Left untreated, they allow moisture behind the surface and into the wall system — causing bigger, more expensive damage over time. We assess the damage, remove what cannot be saved, and restore the surface to match the existing finish as closely as possible. Whether it is a small patch or a large section, the repair is done to last.

Lath is the backbone of any stucco system. Without a solid base, even the best stucco coat will fail. We install wire and metal lath as a proper foundation before any stucco is applied, making sure it is secured correctly to the framing or substrate. Skipping this step or doing it poorly is where most stucco problems start — we do not cut corners here.

Interior plaster walls have a depth and quality that drywall cannot replicate. We work on smooth finish plaster applications for walls and ceilings in residential and commercial spaces. The result is a harder, cleaner surface that holds paint better and stands up to daily wear. If you want walls that actually feel solid, plastering is the right choice.

Not every property should look the same. We work with homeowners and builders to achieve specific texture and pattern styles — from smooth Santa Barbara finishes to heavier trowel-down patterns and custom designs. The texture we apply becomes a permanent part of the exterior, so getting it right matters. We match existing textures on repair jobs and create new ones from scratch on fresh applications.

When a project calls for drywall instead of plaster, we handle it with the same attention to detail. We install drywall for new construction, additions, and interior remodels — and repair damaged sections caused by water, impact, or age. A properly hung and finished drywall job creates a flat, even surface that makes painting and finishing easier for everyone involved.

EIFS — Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems — is a multi-layer wall cladding system commonly used on commercial buildings throughout South Florida. It adds insulation and a finished exterior surface in one system. We install EIFS correctly, which means proper drainage, correct base coat thickness, and a finish layer that holds up to the local climate. It is a system where installation quality determines everything.

South Florida's combination of humidity, rain, and salt air breaks down exterior surfaces faster than most places. Waterproofing coatings and sealants applied over stucco create a barrier that significantly extends the life of the finish. We apply waterproofing treatments after stucco work is complete, or as a standalone service for existing surfaces showing early signs of moisture exposure. It is one of the most overlooked — and important — steps in exterior maintenance.

Sometimes a repair is not enough. When the existing stucco has aged past the point of patching, or when the surface has widespread cracking or delamination, a full re-stucco is the right answer. We remove the old stucco, inspect what is underneath, address any underlying issues, and apply a completely new stucco system. It is a bigger job, but it gives the property a fresh, solid exterior that performs for decades.

Commercial properties have different demands than residential jobs — larger surface areas, tighter schedules, and often active businesses operating during the work. We work with property managers, general contractors, and developers on office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and multi-unit developments. The finish standards on commercial work are just as high as on any residential project. We coordinate around your schedule and deliver work that holds up under commercial use.

Your home's exterior is the first thing people see — and the first line of defense against South Florida's weather. We handle the full range of residential stucco and plastering work, from new application on a build to repairs on a home that has been sitting for decades. Every residential job gets the same attention to surface prep, material selection, and finish quality. The goal is always a result that looks good and lasts.

Stucco siding is one of the most durable and low-maintenance exterior finishes available for South Florida homes and commercial buildings. We install stucco siding systems from the lath up — giving you a finished exterior wall that handles heat, wind, and heavy rain without breaking down. It is a proven material in this climate, and when it is installed correctly, it requires very little upkeep over the years. We work with both new construction and existing structures looking to replace failing siding systems.
