Washington Elite Stucco has plastered walls in Apple Valley, UT for 15 years. A wall out here needs the right repair depth, coating choice, or new plaster system chosen before a crew heads up the road, so we group the work by what your wall needs first.
We repair cracked or stained stucco, remove and replace failed wall covering, install new stucco, remediate water-damaged areas, resurface worn finishes, recoat exterior walls, plaster block perimeter walls, and handle interior plaster. That range lets a stucco company compare smaller repair work with full-wall work during the same visit.
Apple Valley sits 12 miles east of Hurricane on State Route 59, at 4,961 feet, near the far end of our Washington, UT and Washington County coverage. A crew coming here needs the wall plan and site plan settled before loading, because we load in Washington and top nothing up once the truck is out here.
Washington Elite Stucco is licensed and insured. Call (435) 319-6039 or use the quote form, and we will return a written scope within 24 to 48 hours after the visit, with the wall plan stated plainly for your Apple Valley property.

Why Us
A local stucco contractor has to settle the wall system, material order, and repair depth before a crew leaves for Apple Valley. When those choices are made at the wall, the crew can load for the whole face, bring the right material, and price the work from the surface you actually own. The on-site estimate is free here too, even at the far end of our regular coverage map.
The visit answers three practical questions before we write the scope:
Washington Elite Stucco is a licensed and insured stucco company with 15 years of stucco work, 1,000+ completed projects, general liability, and workers compensation for crews working on your property.
The same crews cover the towns further down State Route 59, so we also work in Virgin. Call (435) 319-6039 or use the quote form to schedule the estimate.
Our Services
We fit the stucco services below to the wall itself. A crack, a stained corner, a faded finish, a new framed wall, and a block wall each point to a different level of work, so we inspect the surface and choose the service that fits the wall you own.
Stucco repair closes isolated damage while keeping the sound wall around it in place. A hairline crack is a narrow surface crack, and a crack that has widened since last year needs the loose edges removed before new material can hold. We cut back to sound plaster before filling, then match the texture and integral color, the color mixed into the finish itself, into the surrounding wall.
Stucco removal and replacement rebuilds a failed wall covering from the sheathing out. We remove the failed covering to the sheathing, the boards or panels behind the wall covering, then put back a new water-resistive barrier, the layer that helps keep water off the sheathing, and new metal lath, the mesh that gives plaster a base to hold.
Stucco installation gives a new wall its exterior plaster covering. We start with the substrate, the surface the plaster has to bond to or cover, because framed walls need lath, barrier, and portland cement plaster, the cement-and-sand plaster used for hard exterior walls. Block, manufactured, and modular walls each need their own preparation before the finish goes on.
Stucco remediation repairs the wall after water has found a way into or behind the plaster. Staining, soft plaster, or blistering can show where water has traveled, so we test and probe before opening the wall. We then check likely entry points such as kickout flashing, the small diverter where a roof edge meets a wall, and weep screed, the bottom trim that lets trapped water drain out.
We resurface and recoat a sound wall whose face has worn or faded. We roughen the surface so the next layer can hold, use a bonding agent where the surface needs help gripping, and bring color back across the full elevation with a fog coat, a thin color wash for existing stucco, or a new finish coat.
Apple Valley lots often include block perimeter and retaining walls standing in full sun. We plaster concrete masonry unit walls by preparing and dampening the block for suction control, which keeps dry block from pulling water out of fresh plaster too quickly, then finish the wall to match the house where wanted.
One visit settles the plan, not the plastering. A stucco contractor planning an Apple Valley job uses that first visit to fix the scope, system, and color before materials are ordered, because the wall itself takes more than one working day once plaster starts. We load in Washington, so a missing bag, color choice, or accessory is not a quick errand once the crew is on your lot.
We measure the whole elevation, one full exterior face, because the material order has to match the wall you own. A patch may sit inside a larger faded face, or a stain may mark a wider moisture path than the crack shows. During the visit, we take moisture readings where staining appears, identify the substrate as framed or block, confirm the number of coats and the finish coat, and record the color you choose. Those measurements tell us how much plaster and finish to order, where a patch can stop cleanly, and whether the surrounding face needs work so the repair blends into the full wall. The written scope then follows the measurement made at the wall.
Apple Valley sits at 4,961 feet, about 1,700 feet above Hurricane, and that height brings colder nights and a longer cold season than the valley floor towns. We set the start date by the wall temperature and the forecast because fresh plaster needs time to bond before cold air or direct heat pulls water out of it. Some mornings are too cold for fresh plaster, so we wait for the wall and air to warm before starting. In summer, we move work away from the harshest afternoon sun where possible and keep fresh coats damp so the surface and the coat underneath harden together.
Local Context
Apple Valley is a small town spread across the Little Plains and Big Plains east of Hurricane. It has been its own town since 2004, and its 855 residents in 2020 still made a place of wide lots, open ground, and long spaces between walls. In 2010, Apple Valley had 701 residents, so the town has grown while keeping a spread-out shape.
State Route 59 carries traffic across Apple Valley, and many houses sit away from that main route behind long drives. A wall crew often has to think about the length of the lot, the turn into the property, and the open exposure around the house before any plaster is mixed.
Canaan Mountain, Little Creek Mesa and Smithsonian Butte stand around the town, and the back country byway between Rockville and Apple Valley runs past the butte. That is the high-plain country you see from exterior walls, drives, and block perimeters.
Work here follows a handful of named plats and plains spread across open ground. If your wall sits in one of these areas, the age of the house, the lot exposure, and the stage of building usually tell us what kind of stucco work belongs there.
Apple Valley Ranch has older wall faces mixed with additions and changed floor plans. It was laid out with Gooseberry Estates in the 1980s, so the stucco you add today may have to meet plaster that has weathered for decades. For stucco remodeling and additions, we create a tie-in, the place where new plaster meets the existing wall. We study the old texture, color, and finish coat around that join so the added wall belongs to the same exterior.
Gooseberry Estates houses often give us a full exterior to plan, with each side of the house exposed in a different way. Residential stucco services here can mean working around all four elevations, because one repaired or recoated side can look separate when the sun hits the whole house. We set the integral color once for the exterior and carry the same finish plan around corners, returns, and shaded walls.
Little Plains holds most of the town's population, and newer building goes in on this side. New construction stucco starts after dry-in, once the roof, windows and doors are on and weather stays outside, because the wall needs its windows, doors, roof edges, and exterior penetrations set before plaster covers the face. We book our dates against the builder schedule and coordinate with the trades working around the same walls, so the plaster goes on after the building is ready to receive it.
Big Plains is the wider of the two plains and the most exposed ground in town, with open lots, full sun, and little to break the wind. A sound wall here may need color work before it needs replacement, especially when one side fades faster than another. Stucco painting and coatings let us recoat the existing face, reset the color across the elevation, and keep the old plaster in place when the wall underneath is still solid.
Apple Valley acreage can leave a crew with no curb to stage from, no outlet to plug into, and no counter or paved apron beside the wall. We treat that as part of the setup before work starts. The truck comes up the run with the materials, power plan, water for mixing, and layout needed to work from the lot itself safely and cleanly.
We mix portland cement plaster on site because fresh plaster has to reach the wall while the material is still workable. Sand, cement, and finish material ride up with the crew, then stay covered and dry until they go into the mixer. We bring job power for the mixer and tools, and we carry water for mixing and the first wet-down before plaster goes on. That setup lets the crew batch small enough loads for the wall in front of them, adjust as the face changes, and keep dry material out of wind and sun until the crew is ready to use it.
We stage equipment near the wall because a set-back house turns every wheelbarrow load into extra handling. Scaffold is set so the crew can move around the house without resetting the whole layout at every corner.
We walk the approach before the loaded truck comes in and look for width, slope, turn room, and soft ground. A long drive may need the mixer placed closer to the wall, while soft ground may need a firmer staging spot for material and scaffold. We place the mixer and materials where the wall can be reached without making you clear the whole property. When the plaster work is finished, the mixer, the scaffold, and the leftover material leave with us.
An Apple Valley stucco calendar has to leave room for the town's review and for the waiting time between plaster coats. We confirm the town step before scheduling, then place the plaster visits around the coat sequence your wall actually needs.
Apple Valley is an incorporated town, so we ask the town what the building permit requires before we book dates. The permit names the inspection phases, and we place those phases on the job calendar before the crew starts. If the town needs to see the wall after tear-off, lath, or another named phase, we hold the next step until that inspection is complete. We confirm the scope, book around the town's steps, and quote a calendar that already includes the holds the town requires.
A three-coat wall is built in stages. The scratch coat is the first rough plaster layer, and the brown coat is the next layer that flattens and builds the wall before the finish. On that kind of wall, the brown coat goes on no sooner than 48 hours after the scratch coat, and the finish coat goes on a full seven days after the brown coat. The residential code and ASTM C926 set those minimums for cement plaster. Hot dry weather stretches those waits, and we do not shorten them.
Block walls use a different coat sequence over masonry, so we quote the coat sequence that belongs to each wall on the property. Each fresh cement coat still has to stay damp while it hydrates, meaning the cement keeps reacting with water as it hardens. We tell you at the estimate which coat schedule your wall uses and what the curing will need from you before the first coat is scheduled.
Yes, Apple Valley is on our regular Washington County coverage map. We use the same booking window we use for a job in Washington, while the drive changes what we load for the day. Your address stays inside our normal service area, so the first step is the same estimate request a Washington owner would make.
Because the substrate and the damage together set the system and the material order. A quote built from photographs gets re-priced when the wall shows a different substrate, hidden water path, or larger repair area. Seeing the wall in person lets you settle the scope and color during the same visit.
No, the crew supplies its own mixing water and job power. If your property has a usable tap or outlet, we ask before using anything of yours. The one thing we do raise at the estimate is what keeping the coats damp needs from you between our visits.
Your walls are worked on during the active plaster days, with waiting days between coats when the wall is left to cure. The written scope names which days are worked and which days are waiting, so you can see where crew visits happen and where the wall is drying between visits.
It depends on the scope, and we confirm the building permit answer with the town before scheduling. We check your job on its own because a repair, resurfacing, and replacement can touch the wall at different depths. The permit answer goes into the schedule before dates are booked.
Yes, we work on commercial buildings and interior plaster. Commercial work runs on a longer booked schedule than a house because more people usually have to coordinate access, and interior plaster gets its own trip apart from exterior wall work. We separate those dates so indoor access and exterior staging can each be planned cleanly.
Call (435) 319-6039 or use the quote form to request a free estimate for an Apple Valley wall. We visit the property, look at the wall in person, and put the job on paper afterward. The written scope gives you the work we are pricing, the wall area involved, and the next step for scheduling. After that, you can compare the scope to the wall you see before you choose a start date for the crew visit.
