The Most Satisfying Wall Transformation. From Sand to Smooth Walls: The Art of Stucco

Ever wonder how we turn rough old walls into beautiful, smooth ones? In this video, we’re walking you through the entire stucco process from start to finish — from sifting sand for the mix to layering and smoothing it across the walls until they look brand new.

Along the way, you’ll see every stage and pick up some takeaway info about why stucco matters: how it protects the old brick and mortar, the tricks we use to get it just right (including repurposed Coke bottles), and what makes this process so important for preserving these historic homes.

We’ll also give you a walk-through update at Rio Nilo so you can see how the house is coming together, plus some satisfying speed ramps of the crew in action.

If you love watching old homes transform and learning the “why” behind what we do, this one’s for you.
