Common stucco finishes in Austin: sand, dash, lace, cat face
Most walls in this city are a standard texture. This site is that work: the finishes a superintendent can name without a custom mockup.

A cheap sand finish over a skipped brown coat or a starved scratch coat fails at every control joint.
Patch work that uses the wrong aggregate reads as a map of squares from the street.
People say ‘just match the neighbors’ and then hate the wall because the neighbor was a different finish.
What to watch for
Small signals can mark a larger hidden path.
- New residential or commercial stucco with a standard texture
- A repair that has to disappear into sand or dash
- A builder who wants one finish named on the bid
- A punch list of texture mismatches

Trace first.
Repair second.
The field plan
Find the cause before pricing the close-up.
Clear scope, honest boundaries, and a repair built around the assembly—not the stain.
AUS / 01
We apply the common cement-stucco finishes used on Austin production and commercial work: sand, dash, lace, and cat face.
Lath, scratch, brown, and finish stay in one house. We do not send a painter to hide a bad plaster job.
If you need a decorative or named-brand finish, that is a different search. This door stays on the standard chart.

Straight answers
Before we open the wall.
What is the most common Austin stucco finish?
Sand finish on residential and a tighter commercial sand or dash on boxes. We will confirm on a sample board.
Can you re-stucco a painted wall?
Sometimes. Paint on failed stucco is a removal job first. We will say if it will not bond.
Do you paint stucco?
This site is the plaster finish. Elastomeric paint is a different scope and we will not hide it inside a finish bid.
