Why Choose Stucco for Phoenix Homes
Phoenix property owners pick stucco for good reason. The right assemblies and finishes create a tough, low-maintenance exterior that resists cracking, fading, and water intrusion.
Choose smooth or textured finishes, earth tones or bold colors, and coatings tuned for flexibility, and your property looks sharp through every season while standing up to the desert climate.
Durable, Efficient, and Made for the Desert
Curb Appeal, Low Upkeep
Stucco finishes upgrade your exterior with clean lines and timeless Southwest character. Unlike wood or vinyl, stucco does not warp or melt in high heat, so upkeep stays simple.
Energy Savings Potential
Synthetic systems with continuous insulation wrap your walls in a uniform layer that reduces thermal bridging, helping steady indoor temperatures and muffle outdoor noise.
Made for the Desert Climate
Proper assemblies, coatings, and joint details help your walls move with thermal expansion, resist UV stress, and shed monsoon rains for lasting durability.

Sunset Coatings did a great job on our house which had drywall damage and mold issues after water backed up on our flat roof home. Ralph demonstrated a wide variety of skills in the removal, decontamination and repairs.
This was not my first time hiring Ralph. He did extensive stucco repair and repainted the whole house. His knowledge and expertise, attention to detail and quality are unsurpassed.
Ralph gave us a very fair estimate for a very big job. He was very punctual, totally understood the problem and completed the job in 3 days. Our home looks amazing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Installing Stucco in Phoenix
Do you install new stucco in Phoenix?
Yes. We install traditional three-coat and synthetic (EIFS) stucco systems for new and existing Phoenix, AZ homes and businesses, matched to your texture, color, and the desert climate.
How much does it cost to install stucco on a house?
Pricing depends on square footage, the number of stories and detail, the substrate being covered, and the finish you choose. We measure your Phoenix property and provide a free, itemized written estimate rather than a one-size-fits-all number.
What goes under stucco on a house?
A proper system starts with a weather-resistant barrier over the sheathing, then metal lath fastened to the wall, then the stucco coats. That layered system is what gives stucco its strength and its ability to shed water.
How is stucco installed?
Traditional three-coat stucco goes on in stages: a scratch coat keyed into the lath, a brown coat for thickness and flatness, and a finish coat that carries the color and texture, each with the proper cure time matched to Arizona conditions.
Is stucco a good choice for Phoenix homes?
Yes. Stucco stands up well to intense UV, high heat, and dust, adds insulation, and needs little maintenance. With the right system it is one of the most durable, energy-smart exteriors for the desert.
Can you install stucco over an existing exterior?
Often, yes. Stucco can go over many sound, properly prepared substrates, sometimes with a lath and barrier system added first. We inspect what you have and recommend the right approach for a durable result.
