Who you're hiring

The father's craft, run by the next generation.

Rising is a family-run crew that grew up on Arizona job sites. We took three decades of stucco and plastering know-how and built a shop that treats every exterior like it carries the family name, because it does. You get one team for lath, stucco, stone veneer, and siding, and one person who answers the phone.

Built on family. Trusted by Arizona.

How a wall is built

The three-coat build, done by the book

Good stucco is layers, in order, with nothing skipped. Here is exactly what goes on your wall and why each coat matters.

Coat 01 · Lath & Waterproofing
  1. Coat 01

    Lath & Waterproofing

    We waterproof the structure, add one-inch foam insulation, and secure galvanized wire mesh with weep screeds and flashing. Every stucco job lives or dies on this layer.

  2. Coat 02

    Brown Coat

    A thick cement base goes on, then we straightedge it dead level. This is where the ruler work happens and where flat, true walls are made.

  3. Coat 03

    Finish Coat

    The final texture goes on, traditional or synthetic, in the color and finish you chose. Add-ons like mesh embeds and diamond-mesh corners lock in against cracking.

  4. Final

    Cleanup & Walkthrough

    We strip the scaffolding, clear every bag and offcut, and walk the whole exterior with you. The job is not done until the site is clean and the finish is right.

Why Rising

The crew builders call back.

01 · Why Rising

One-stop exterior shop

Lath, stucco, stone veneer, and siding from a single crew. You stop coordinating three trades, and one team owns the finished result.

03 · Why Rising

Engineered for the desert

Mesh embeds, diamond-mesh corners, and elastic synthetic finishes fight the cracking that Arizona's day-to-night temperature swings cause.

02 · Why Rising

Plan-based bidding

We price new builds straight from your architectural plans, before framing starts, so general contractors can lock a firm budget early.

04 · The standard

Clean site, every time

Proper scaffolding and a spotless job site are not extras. The way a crew treats the site is the way it treats the work on your wall.

Customer reviews

Homeowners and builders, in their words.

From custom builds in Scottsdale to repairs in Mesa, the same things come up: clean work, clear communication, and a finish that looks right.

After getting quotes from a few companies, we went with this team based on their professionalism, and we're so glad we did. They finished our home's exterior in just a few days, and the stucco looks flawless. You can tell they take pride in their work.

Family-run business that truly treats you like family. They walked us through every step of the process and made sure we were comfortable with the texture and color choices. The final result completely transformed our home.
Miguel A.Mesa, AZ
We've used them on multiple custom builds as our go-to stucco crew. They're always on time, the finish work is excellent, and the lath prep is clean and professional. Highly recommend to any GC needing reliable subs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions builders and homeowners ask us most. If yours isn't here, call and we'll walk you through it.

Traditional stucco is a three-coat cement system. It is hard, proven, and it is what goes on nearly every Arizona home. EIFS is a separate wall system and we run it on commercial buildings. It is not synthetic stucco, and it does not add insulation.
