Stucco & Portland plaster
Full lath, scratch, brown and finish coats — interior and exterior, from a single patch to a ground-up build. Sand, Santa Barbara, smooth, dash and Spanish-lace finishes laid by hand.
Windsor · Sonoma County · since 2014
12 years of three-coat stucco, integral-color acrylics and decorative plaster across the North Bay. The finish is the first thing anyone sees — we treat it that way.
The record
The hand behind it
Angel Brothers started with Ivan Angel — a journeyman lather and plasterer who put in fifteen years on the scaffold before founding the company in 2014. That trade-first habit still runs the job: the crew keys its own lath, floats its own brown coat, and works a finish wet edge-to-edge so a wall reads true in raking light.

What we lay
One crew for the whole wall system — the membrane and lath you never see, and the finish coat everyone does.
Full lath, scratch, brown and finish coats — interior and exterior, from a single patch to a ground-up build. Sand, Santa Barbara, smooth, dash and Spanish-lace finishes laid by hand.
Integral-color acrylic and cementitious coats that hold their tone and shrug off the North-Bay weather — consistent texture across the whole elevation, color carried through the material.
Typar and Tyvek permeable membranes, Pli-Dek deck systems, leak detection and dry-rot repair — the layers behind the finish that keep water out and the wall sound.
Venetian plaster, cornices, ArcusStone and Armourcoat, foam columns, stone railing and shearwall — the architectural detail work that turns a wall into a finish people stop to touch.

How a finish goes on
Self-furring lath over a weather-resistive membrane, then a scratch coat keyed by hand so every later coat has something to grip.
A true, flat brown coat floated to plane — the difference between a wall that reads straight in raking light and one that doesn't.
The texture you actually see — sand, Santa Barbara, smooth or lace — worked wet, edge-to-edge, so there's no cold joint mid-wall.
Controlled cure, then color or sealer where the system calls for it, so the finish keeps its tone through Sonoma summers.
In their words
Angel Brothers gave me a fair estimate and was out to do the repair the very next day. The work matched our stucco perfectly and they were done quickly.
I will recommend them because they are professional workers and very friendly.
