Stucco Contractor San Diego | SD Plastering Company
As San Diego's most trusted stucco contractor, SD Plastering Company delivers premium hand-troweled exterior stucco finishes for the county's most discerning homeowners, architects, and general contractors.

What We Do
Exterior Stucco Finishes We Specialize In
We hand-trowel every signature San Diego finish: smooth Santa Barbara, cat-face, fine and medium lace, English cottage, dash, float, sand float, and modern monolithic smooth. Compare them all in our stucco finish styles guide. Each finish is mocked up on-site so you approve the exact texture before we touch your walls. We work in both traditional three-coat hard-coat stucco systems and modern one-coat synthetic systems depending on the substrate and design intent.
Built for San Diego's Coastal Climate
Salt air, marine fog, intense UV, and Santa Ana wind cycles destroy poorly applied stucco. Every system we install includes proper weather-resistive barriers, two-layer Grade D paper or breathable Tyvek, code-compliant lath spacing, and expansion joints engineered for our microclimates. From beach blocks in Pacific Beach to inland heat in Escondido, our specs are tuned for the conditions.
Premium Materials, Premium Results
We install LaHabra, Omega Products, Merlex, and Sto-finish systems with integral pigment so your color is in the wall — not painted on top. That means no flaking, no chalking, and no repainting every five years. Elastomeric topcoats are available for properties that demand maximum waterproofing and crack-bridging performance.
Trusted by San Diego's Top Builders
Our long-standing relationships with custom-home builders, architects, and HOAs across La Jolla, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Coronado, and Carmel Valley exist for one reason: we show up on schedule, leave the jobsite spotless, and produce finish work that survives every reveal walk-through. When existing walls need fixing first, our stucco repair crew handles it. References available on request.
