What’s under the color
Stucco is cement plaster, and it goes on in layers. Steve posted photos of this small building at three points in the job.
-
Paper and wire
The walls get wrapped in building paper, then covered in wire lath. The wire gives the plaster something to grip.
-
Brown coat
Cement plaster goes on over the wire and is floated flat. Plasterers call this gray layer the brown coat.
-
Finish coat
The last layer is the one you see. It carries the color and the texture, and here it is white.
A repair goes through the same layers on a smaller piece of wall. The last one has to match the stucco around it.
Two jobs, partway and done

“Steve showed up on time and I was impressed with his knowledge of the texture/stucco industry. Was going to put Hardie siding on but after talking with steve it was an easy decision. The second story of the house was masonite and was showing water damage. Also the house being in an extreme fire area I wanted to get rid of the wood for a better fire rating. The job turned out fantastic. Steve went the extra mile to patch and redo the first floor so the entire house matched. …”

“I was referred to Steve of Color Concepts by my next door neighbor who received excellent service for some repair work on his house. … I called Steve and he created a plan to replace the wood enclosure with plaster. The end result is absolutely amazing. So amazing that we decided to re-plaster the entire house ... to match the chimney enclosure, of course! … He and his able crew arrived exactly on time, started promptly, worked efficiently, and completed the entire project in one day (your house may be different). …”

“We met with Steve for a bid for plastering the acoustic ceilings in our 34 year old house. I could tell right on the spot that he was the one to hire for the job. I’m thinking there was about 2000 or so square feet of ceiling to cover. His crew showed up the next work day and had the job finished in three days. Steve’s crew is excellent, very thoughtful in how they treated our property. …”

“I had a small amount of repair work that was needed and it was taken care of in a very fast, professional manor. … I asked for this little fix to be done and I was thrilled to come home and find it done! There are good, fair, tradesmen who still exist! Thank you for providing such great service!”

“Steve & his crew did a great job at our house. Took the popcorn ceiling off inside & stucco on the front of the house (we took the wood siding off) color match for the house is great. I’ll definitely use him again if needed!”

“One of the finest contractors around. It’s hard to find reputable and honest work these days, especially as a woman. Stephen was honest, gracious, answered all my questions (as ridiculous as they were) with understanding and integrity. It’s excellent work at normal prices.. no price gouging.”
