stucco work

Rough exterior coating

Stucco work refers to the craft or result of applying stucco—a plaster-like material made from cement, sand, lime, and water—to exterior or interior walls.

The term encompasses both the labor involved and the finished decorative or protective surface.

Skilled stucco work can include textured finishes, moldings, and ornamental details.

The old mission's stucco work has held up remarkably well over two centuries.
