Specialists in Early-1900s Cement Stucco Systems

We provide professional Marbelcrete® stucco repair and restoration, a historic cement-based stucco system commonly found on homes built in the early 1900s through the 1920s. Marbelcrete was extremely popular over 100 years ago and is still present on many historic and character homes throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Unlike modern synthetic stucco, Marbelcrete is a hard, dense cement stucco that often incorporates marble dust or fine stone aggregate, giving it a smooth to lightly textured appearance with exceptional durability. When properly installed, these systems can last generations—but improper repairs can cause cracking, moisture trapping, and long-term damage.

What Makes Marbelcrete Stucco Unique

• High cement content with marble or mineral aggregate
• Typically applied over wood lath or early metal lath
• Harder and less flexible than modern stucco systems
• Common on Craftsman, Tudor, Colonial Revival, and early bungalow homes
• Requires specialized repair techniques to prevent stress cracking and delamination

Our Marbelcrete Repair Approach

Marbelcrete stucco cannot be repaired using modern acrylic or EIFS materials. Our team uses traditional cement-based repair methods designed to match the original composition, density, and finish of historic Marbelcrete systems.

Our services include:

• Careful removal of failed or damaged Marbelcrete stucco
• Wood lath or metal lath repair and stabilization
• Proper cement mix ratios to match original hardness and breathability
• Crack repair and structural stabilization
• Custom texture and color matching for seamless blending
• Moisture-aware repairs that preserve the building’s ability to breathe

We take a preservation-first approach, ensuring repairs are compatible with the original stucco and the age of the structure—protecting both appearance and long-term performance.

Trusted for Historic Stucco Homes

Improper patching with modern materials often causes more damage than good on early-1900s stucco homes. Our experience with historic plaster and traditional stucco systems allows us to restore Marbelcrete properly, maintaining the character, integrity, and value of your property.

If your home was built in the 1900s–1940s and has cracking, delamination, moisture issues, or previous failed repairs, our team can assess the condition and provide a historically appropriate repair plan.
