Lath is a framework installed over a substrate (like wood or sheathing) that allows plaster or stucco to properly adhere. It creates a mechanical bond between the surface and the finish material.
We install a variety of systems, including:
Every installation is tailored to the specific system being applied, whether it’s stucco lath, stone veneer, metal lath, or a full exterior plaster build.
Improper lath installation leads to major structural and cosmetic issues. If the base is wrong, the entire system fails.
A poorly installed metal lath scratch coat system can compromise the entire exterior. That’s why precision matters at every step.
We follow a proven, step-by-step process to ensure every project meets structural and performance standards.
