New Construction Stucco & Plaster Solutions
Built right the first time — barrier, lath, and finish as one system.
New construction is the one chance to build a stucco wall with nothing to undo — barrier, flashing, lath, and finish installed in the right order, by one trade, with no legacy failures hiding underneath. Most of the repair work we do exists because that chance was missed the first time.
Fogg Construction provides complete stucco and plaster scopes for new homes, additions, ADUs, and commercial projects: moisture barrier and flashing integration, lath, three-coat cementitious stucco or acrylic systems, and the finish texture and color your design calls for. Holding both B and C35 licenses, we’re equally comfortable as the plastering sub on your builder’s team or working directly with an owner and architect.
Rick has spent his career collaborating with architects, designers, and owners’ reps — with special care for details, schedule parameters, and budgets. On additions, our texture-matching expertise means the new construction blends seamlessly with the existing building.
What this capability covers.
Full stucco assemblies
Moisture barrier, flashing integration, lath, scratch, brown, and finish coats — the complete wall system from framing out.
Additions & ADUs
New stucco matched to the existing structure’s texture and color, so the addition reads as original.
Architect & builder collaboration
Envelope detailing input during design, clean coordination on site, and work that meets the schedule the project was planned around.
Interior plaster
Interior plaster scopes for new construction, including Venetian plaster feature finishes.

Asked before. Answered straight.
Do you work as a subcontractor for builders?
Yes — with a C35 Lathing & Plastering license and decades of jobsite experience, we sub for general contractors on residential and commercial projects, and our B General Building license means we understand the whole assembly, not just our coat of it.
Three-coat stucco or one-coat system — which should I use?
Traditional three-coat stucco remains the most durable choice for most Bay Area projects, and it’s what we recommend where budget allows. We’ll give you a straight comparison for your specific wall assembly, climate exposure, and design rather than a one-size answer.
Can you match our addition to the existing house?
Texture matching is a core specialty — we reproduce the original texture and finish on the new walls and, where needed, fog-coat the transition so old and new read as one continuous facade.
When should the stucco contractor get involved in a new build?
Ideally during design or pre-construction. Barrier selection, flashing details, and control-joint layout are decided before any plaster goes on — and getting them right on paper is far cheaper than correcting them on the wall. Rick regularly consults with architects at this stage.
Do you handle the waterproofing under the stucco too?
Yes — that integration is the whole point. We install the moisture barrier, flashing, lath, and stucco as one accountable scope, so there’s no finger-pointing between trades if water ever shows up.
Adjacent scopes, same standard.
