Plaster & Stucco Contractors

Walls WorthTouching.

Interior plaster. Exterior stucco. Historic repair. Venetian finishes. The crew that shows up on Tuesday and finishes on Friday.

Structure

Three coats. No shortcuts.

Every exterior stucco application starts with a scratch coat keyed into the lath, a brown coat floated true, and a finish coat worked to spec — sand-float, smooth, or dash. The system that has protected walls for a century still outperforms every shortcut the industry has tried since.

Beauty

Light lives inside the wall.

Authentic Venetian plaster is ground marble and lime, troweled in four passes and burnished until the crystalline pigment catches light from within — a depth no paint product can replicate. As the lime carbonates over years, the wall returns to stone. It gets stronger with age.

"Skim showed up day one and didn't leave until the finish coat on every room was perfect. We're talking 4,200 square feet of three-coat stucco on a custom build in Marin — not a crack, not a blemish. I've been calling them on every project since."

Marcus Webb

Project Manager

Webb & Carlisle General Contracting — Marin County Estate

"We had a 1902 Victorian on Alamo Square with original horsehair plaster, and the owners wanted it matched, not replaced. Skim sourced the lime, matched the aggregate, and blended the repair so cleanly the inspector couldn't tell new from old. That's craft."

Diane Okafor

Principal

Okafor Restoration Group — Alamo Square Historic Renovation

"I bid a Venetian plaster dining room as a long shot — client wanted the real thing, not a faux finish. Skim delivered four-layer marmorino with a burnished finish that glows at dinner. The homeowners have shown that room to everyone they know."

Lindqvist Build Group — Los Altos Hills Residence

"Exterior smooth-coat stucco on a 12-unit mixed-use in Oakland. They were on site Tuesday, scaffolding down Friday, no callbacks. Every GC in the East Bay should have Skim on their sub list."

Rosa Fuentes

General Contractor

Fuentes Construction — Oakland Mixed-Use Development

"My kitchen gut showed water damage behind the original plaster. Skim assessed the lath, replaced what needed replacing, and floated the whole thing out true. You'd never know it wasn't original. Honest work, honest price."
