What the stain is telling you
Standard still has to be built right
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.
The inspection
Find the entry point before pricing the repair
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 a 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.
