Why Apptek?
When it comes to selecting a stucco contractor in Los Angeles, builders, architects, and homeowners alike know that experience and reliability are everything. The wrong subcontractor can cause costly delays, aesthetic inadequacy, unhappy customers, and warranty issues years down the road. That’s why for more than 25 years, Apptek Stucco has been the preferred partner for those who expect precision, performance, and professionalism from their stucco company when quality is imperative, especially in upscale areas of exceptional homes like Hollywood Hills, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and Newport Coast.
Apptek has built its reputation on a simple promise — do what you say you’re going to do. That principle, paired with deep technical expertise and a culture of accountability, defines what makes Apptek different.
1. Proven Experience Across Southern California’s Most Demanding Projects
Few stucco companies in Los Angeles bring the same depth of experience as Apptek. For over two decades, our company has completed high-end residential and commercial projects across Malibu, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, and beyond.
From luxury coastal homes on the Newport Coast to Hollywood Hills and Beverly Hills Estates, Apptek’s craftsmanship can be seen on some of the region’s most architecturally ambitious structures. Our work extends to large-scale fire rebuilds, including the Cedar Fire (2003) and Witch Fire (2007) — projects that required both precision and speed under immense logistical pressure.
That long track record is why builders turn to Apptek when quality, timelines, and trust all matter equally.
2. Capacity That Keeps Projects Moving
With over 130 skilled employees, Apptek has one of the largest and most stable stucco workforces in Southern California. That means our clients don’t have to worry about labor shortages or missed deadlines — even during periods of high construction demand.
Our team structure ensures:
- Dedicated foremen on every major jobsite
- Seamless communication between field crews and project managers
- Rapid response to design changes, inspections, or unforeseen challenges
When other stucco subcontractors are stretched thin, Apptek delivers — because our scale and organization allow us to honor every commitment we make.
3. Expertise in Every Finish — Inside and Out
One of the key benefits of working with Apptek is our versatility. We’re not just a stucco contractor; we’re specialists in a full range of lath and plaster systems, including both traditional three-coat stucco and modern acrylic (synthetic) stucco applications.
Our crews are also highly skilled in interior plaster systems, from Venetian plaster to synthetic and gypsum finishes, giving builders and designers flexibility to achieve the precise look and performance their projects demand.
Whether you need a smooth finish stucco exterior that glows in the California sun or a high-end Venetian plaster interior wall, Apptek combines artistry and durability — with results that speak for themselves.
4. A Company Culture of Integrity and Accountability
The greatest compliment our clients give us isn’t just about craftsmanship — it’s about consistency.
Apptek’s culture is built around one guiding value: do what you say you’re going to do.
That means showing up on time, following through on commitments, and owning the outcome.
Many of our core management team and foremen have worked together for one to two decades. This stability fosters accountability at every level. Calls get answered. Messages are returned. Problems get solved — fast.
When general contractors partner with Apptek, they gain more than a subcontractor; they gain a dependable extension of their own team.
5. Detailed Bids, Fast Turnaround, and Real Value Engineering
Apptek understands the pressure GCs face when managing multiple trades and tight bid schedules. That’s why our estimating department uses fully digital state-of-the-art systems to deliver detailed, accurate bids very quickly..

- Value engineering options that can save both time and material costs

7. Fire Rebuild Expertise That Sets Us Apart
Southern California’s wildfire-prone landscape demands materials and systems that can perform under extreme conditions. Apptek’s experience on post-fire rebuild projects — including the Cedar and Witch Fires — gives us great insight into what works when rebuilding for durability and fire resistance.
