Stucco Columns.
Hand-formed exterior stucco columns — Tuscan, Doric, and custom profiles. Built on-site over engineered cores.
What it is
Stucco columns are radiused, gauged, and hand-troweled over a structural core. We build them in classical orders and to architect-drawn custom profiles, finishing to match the surrounding stucco field — never as separate, applied elements.
Capitals and bases are run from templates or shop-cast, then integrated on-site.
Our process
From the first site visit to the final coat.
Every project follows a sequence — refined over thirty years and adapted to the substrate, climate, and finish system.
- 01
Structural core
Engineered core sized to load and height.
- 02
Lath & body coats
Radiused lath, brown coats gauged for entasis.
- 03
Capital & base
Profiles run or cast and integrated to the column shaft.
- 04
Finish coat
Hand-troweled finish matching adjacent stucco.
Common questions
Stucco Columns — frequently asked.
Can columns be tapered?
Yes — entasis (the slight curved taper of classical columns) is a standard part of how we run shafts. The substrate is gauged for it before plaster goes on.
