Full Plastering Scope
Lath, scratch, brown, finish — every coat.
Cen Cal Plastering carries the full plastering scope on residential and commercial jobs, licensed under CSLB Class C-35 (Lathing & Plastering).
Three-Coat Stucco
Scratch, brown & finish
Traditional three-coat stucco application for new construction and remodel work — built up in scratch, brown and finish coats over lath for the durability builders expect from a Central Valley climate.
Scope
Scratch coat, brown coat and textured finish coat application over new or existing lath, on residential and commercial framing.
Finishes
Standard sand, dash, and smooth trowel textures — matched to spec or an existing field.
Materials
Self-furring wire lath and paper-backed lath systems, installed to weather-resistive barrier over sheathing.
Where it's used
Every stucco and exterior plaster assembly starts here — the substrate the scratch coat keys into.
Lathing
The substrate every job stands on
Correct lath installation is the difference between a stucco job that lasts and one that cracks early. We install to code over weather-resistive barrier before any coat goes on.
Commercial Shell Buildings
Scoped and scheduled for builders
Public permit records document Cen Cal Plastering's plastering scope on commercial shell building projects in Cupertino, CA (2010–2012), with permit valuations of roughly $1 million to $1.25 million.
Builder Coordination
BIA Bay Area membership and documented commercial permit history reflect ongoing work alongside homebuilders and general contractors.
Bonded for the Work
Corporation status with a $15,000 surety bond and workers’ compensation coverage on file, per CSLB licensing records.
Interior Plaster
Smooth-coat & veneer finishes.
Veneer Plaster
Thin-coat gypsum veneer plaster over blueboard for a hard, smooth interior wall and ceiling finish.
Smooth-Coat Systems
Skim-coat finishes for interior walls that need a flat, paint-ready surface.
Architectural Foam Trim
Bands, cornices & reveals.
EPS architectural foam trim adhered and base-coated to match the field stucco — a common way to add banding, window surrounds and cornice detail without the weight of solid material.
Typical Detail Work
Common Repair Work
Hairline and structural crack repair, patching around penetrations, and re-coating weathered stucco sections to match existing texture and color.
Repair & Restoration
Fix it right, not just fast.
Cracked or damaged stucco is a common call for an existing home or building. We diagnose the cause before patching, so the repair holds instead of reopening the next season.
