Custom Stucco Texture Matching
Cementitious and acrylic finishes matched so repairs and additions disappear.
A structurally perfect stucco repair still fails if it doesn’t look right. Texture is the signature of a stucco wall — sand float, dash, lace, smooth trowel, or a one-off pattern applied by a plasterer sixty years ago — and matching it is a hand skill that only comes with years on the trowel.
Texture innovation and matching, in both cementitious and acrylic systems, is one of Fogg Construction’s defining specialties. After 41 years in the plaster trade, Rick can read an existing finish — its aggregate, application method, and sequence — and reproduce it so the new work blends seamlessly into the old.
This matters most on additions and remodels, where new walls meet original ones in plain view, and on historic homes where the texture is part of the architecture. On the Wedgewood project in Santa Rosa, we combined multiple textures and custom colors with in-house stonework to give the home a unique, cohesive exterior.
What this capability covers.
Repair blending
Patches and crack repairs finished to match the surrounding texture, aggregate, and color so the repair is undetectable.
Addition & remodel matching
New construction stucco matched to the original building — the addition reads as if it was always there.
Cementitious & acrylic systems
Traditional cement stucco finishes and modern acrylic textures, each matched with the correct materials and application technique.
Custom & specialty textures
New custom textures and color finishes designed for the project — including multi-texture facades and integrated stonework details.

Asked before. Answered straight.
Can you match any stucco texture?
Nearly all of them. Sand, dash, lace, skip trowel, smooth, and custom historic textures are all matchable with the right materials and hand technique. The honest caveat: weathered finishes take judgment to match well, which is exactly where four decades of trowel time pays off.
What’s the difference between cementitious and acrylic stucco?
Cementitious (traditional) stucco is a cement-based plaster applied in coats — durable, breathable, and what most older Bay Area homes wear. Acrylic finishes are polymer-based, more flexible, and offer consistent color and modern texture options. We work in both, and we match each with its own correct system rather than substituting one for the other.
Will a repaired area show a color difference?
Texture can be matched exactly; color on a weathered wall often benefits from a fog coat or color coat over a larger area to unify the finish. We’ll tell you up front whether your repair can blend as-is or whether a refinish coat is the better path to an invisible result.
Can you create a new custom texture for my project?
Yes — texture innovation is part of the specialty. If you’re after a specific look for a remodel or new build, we can sample textures and colors on site until the finish is right, as we did with the multi-texture custom exterior on the Wedgewood project.
Do you match textures on commercial buildings?
Yes. Commercial texture matching — like blending a new structural beam cover into the existing beams at Northgate Mall — demands the same precision as residential work, often on tighter schedules. We handle both.
Adjacent scopes, same standard.
