Stucco & Tile Installation

Stucco and tile are the finishing layer on walls, stairs and outdoor spaces. We apply them over properly built substrates so they don't crack or pop off.

Stucco & Tile

Built right, start to finish

Stucco gives garden walls, retaining walls and stair walls a clean, solid look that matches many Bay Area homes. We apply scratch, brown and finish coats over block or concrete, in smooth or textured finishes.

Outdoor tile on steps, porches and patios needs the right base, waterproofing and an exterior-rated tile. We install tile that is suitable for wet conditions and slip-resistant underfoot.

FAQ

Stucco & Tile questions

Can stucco be applied over concrete block?

Yes. Block and concrete are ideal bases for stucco, and it's how we finish most garden and retaining walls.

What tile is good outdoors?

Porcelain rated for exterior use, or dense natural stone, with a textured surface for grip when wet.

Can you match my house's stucco?

We match texture closely and can tint the finish coat. Painting the wall afterwards gives the most uniform result.
