★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Marcelino Plastering nailed it! Their prep work was on point--scaffolding, wraps, and cloths everywhere to protect my place. Loved that they used plastic sheeting to wall off their mixing area from my garage gym--zero dust made it to my workout gear!

When they finished, the space was spotless. Seriously, the tidiest post-reno cleanup I've ever seen.

Shoutout to owner Asael Marcelino for being super responsive, delivering high-quality work, and respecting my home. No drama, just great service. Highly recommend these guys!

I had some issues with wood coming off the side of my house. Asael and the Marcelino team were the first to come and give me an estimate, and then they consistently showed up at 8:00 a.m. and got the work done in only a couple of days. I felt prioritized, the communication was great, and the quality of the workmanship is extremely detail-oriented and beautiful. I couldn't be happier with the result, and will be using Marcelino for all surface/stucco/plastering work in the future.

Marcelino did a great job plastering the outside of our house. We went from the old finish to a new smooth finish and it turned out beautifully. We subsequently had a leak and asked Marcelino to help us with it which he did. He stood behind his work and fixed the issue. We highly recommend Marcelino's Plastering.

With the first rains of the season, one of our windows started leaking. We realized the issue was with the stucco at the deck above. After reading yelp reviews of different stucco contractors I called Marcelino Plastering and I am so glad I did. Asael Marcelino is very professional, punctual, friendly, and obviously very good at stucco. Honestly one of the best people I have worked with in the construction industry.

Soon as he started removing the plaster - we realized water had been infiltrating the structure for many years and there was significant damage. Asael is a great problem solver and has a very positive attitude, he quickly worked with us to remove the rotted wood and fix the issue. Even while we encountered several weather events. The work is now complete and we could not be happier.

If you need stucco work done, this is your guy!

Marcelino plastering did an excellent job on enclosing a 6'x2' window opening on my garage wall which had water intrusion due to improper window installation. The foreman, Omar and his crew were very professional. I liked how they set up the surrounding area to keep dust and busted up materials within the work area. The framing, waterproofing, lath and stucco were all done professionally... they came prepared..Great job by Marcelino plastering from set up to clean up... I highly recommend

This winter when the rains started I found I had a leak in my roof that did damage to my living room ceiling. It wasn't damage that you could just stucco over and paint. It needed an artist to fix this. I found my artist in Marcelino Plastering. Asael explained exactly what he needed to do and the steps involved. He was very responsive, punctual and professional. The way his crew covered EVERYTHING to keep the house clean was unbelievable. Every nook and cranny was covered and when they left you would never have known they had been there. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Dinni, Alvaro and Elias. They were so respectful of the property and did beautiful work.
I hope no more leaks but if it happens again I know exactly who to call.
Thank you Aseael, Dinni, Alvaro and Elias!!!!

I replaced 35 windows on my house and they did a great job removing old stucco around windows and blending in new stucco matching the existing finish. They did an incredible job keeping the property clean and free of debris. I'm very happy how responsive Marcelino is and willing to work together through a tough project to make sure you get what you want. I can tell he uses good product and cares about the end result! I recommend!

Marcelino stepped in to handle our stucco repair during our window and dry rot project. The were professional, competent and fair. They worked well with the other contractors and the weather and made sure we achieved the best outcome possible. Would definitely use them again and recommend to family and friends.

We had water coming in from where the stucco meets the chimney. Marcelino was very patient helping us figure out solutions. He wouldn't even let us pay him until the whole situation was resolved. He was very professional, on time, clean and just overall great to work with. I'm sure we will call him back for other projects in the future!

Asael runs a great company and does fantastic work. He and his crew helped us with a complicated situation where an overgrown vine collapsed and took large chunks of stucco along with it. They effectively dealt with dry-rot and replaced the stucco on the front facade of our house. Communication was top notch and I was kept up to date during the entire project. I highly recommend Marcelino Plastering!

In our recent home renovation, we had to open lots of large holes in our walls and ceilings and asked Marcelino Plastering to do the interior plaster patches (and a tiny bit of exterior stucco). Asael and his team tackled every challenge, finishing this large project in just a few days, and the quality of their work was impressive.

A few specific comments:
- I really appreciated the easy communication throughout
- Asael was able to quickly take on our additional requests at a fair price
- The painters and other contractors working in our home gave huge compliments on the quality of the plastering job
- Everyone was especially impressed by their plaster work on the walls of the circular turret room and around curved heating ducts.

I would highly recommend Marcelino Plastering.

Asael and his crew are fantastic! We had a 8' X 20' wall of nasty moldy stucco that Marcelino Plastering came in and replaced in only 5 days time. Asael was extremely punctuational, and the communication was always on point. The previous owner installed a sliding glass door without any appropriate flashing, and drilled a support beam of the deck right into the stucco wall. Years of water poured right into the wall, and Marcelino Plastering ripped it all out, put in a new deck beam, did all the stucco work, and made everything look perfect. I didn't have time to price other contractors, but when everything was amazing the cost was totally worth it.

Exceeded Expectations in many ways - 5 starts for sure ! Transparent pricing, exceptional customer focus, polite, organized, very attentive to details and completed the work on schedule. I contracted Marcelino services to correct/redo the work from another contractor, a much more difficult task. He protected the pavers (see picture) and every day left the site clean and organized. Marcelino carefully removed all the stucco that was poorly installed by the previous contractor and managed to avoid damages to the walls in and outside. He supervises the work of his crew and is HANDS ON. He does the work together with his employees and is always there to ensure all gets done with the highest quality. After a bad experience with the previous contractor, finding someone like Marcelino was refreshing - awesome experience. Before hiring any contractors, ALWAYS check CSLB website, ask if there are pending complaints and get references from previous work.

Found this company on Yelp and all positive comments and reviews are right on.
Requested info and got a virtually immediate response. Communication skills and style is excellent.
Marcelino has a great team and is truly knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. He is not only answering questions but helps define the objective of the project and final product when needed.
His team worked very quickly and was very mindful about cleanliness around the area.
Highly recommended.

Marcelino was very prompt in responding to my calls, and he provided excellent service in repairing a hole in my wall. After sending me an estimate, he was extremely thorough in describing the process of the job and the materials used. Overall, the finished product of his work is extremely professional and high quality. I am very pleased with the outcome of the project, and would highly recommend this company!

Marcelino Plastering is terrific. I have owned a number of homes, mostly old and "interesting" which also means in need of renovation. I always prefer to hire individual craftsmen and very small companies, because I like building a long term working relationship with people so I can give them work in the future. Over the decades, I have hired a number of people and companies to do plastering, and it has mostly been one difficulty after another, none worth repeating. I recently discovered Marcelino Plastering and they are the best by far. Easy to work with. Fast. They just did two rooms for me and both were exceptionally well done. Thanks, Asael and crew. You are remarkable.

We had a small stucco emergency and under time pressure to find a contractor. I called several companies on Yelp and only Aseal respond quickly and was able to fit us into his schedule. Besides that, he has the experience to correctly assess our problem via a few photos I texted to him. He stopped by to evaluate and confirm the problem on the weekend and made the repair two days later. He's very responsive, knowledgeable and efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends.

Marcelino Plastering recently completed an exterior stucco repair/replacement for my mother-in-law. Asael did a fabulous job. Not only does the house look great, he was very flexible with timing and various delays due to the crazy rain during the late winter/early spring. We are very happy with the work and would hire him again.

Asael and his team did incredible stucco work on my home - so much so that the painting team commented about how great it was.

I cannot recommend this company enough. He and his team showed up between 730-745am each morning. They worked throughout the whole day. Everyone was respectful. They were efficient. Best part, Asael was there each day working right alongside them. I always think it's key when the owner is there to provide guidance and supervise. Furthermore, Asael is very communicative and always cleaned up his work area after each day.

If you are thinking of doing stucco work, definitely reach out to him to get a quote. This is not the cheapest work, but it's also not the most expensive. They do honest work and I have full faith that his work will last me a very long time.

Wow! Marcelino is an artist of plaster. His work is smooth, seamless and his plastering job visually stayed true to the craftsman style of my home. Marcelino and his team also provided top notch service by keeping dust out of my home with a plastic shield, cleaning diligently every day, being responsive to all communications, and assisting with my add on special requests. He really exceeded my expectations.
I will definitely work with Marcelino again.

This review is for the outstanding communication with Marcelino. Asael was always prompt, professional and kept his promises throughout the process.

I hired Asael to repair a ceiling and wall that was damaged from an upstairs neighbor. He was great, and very easy to work with. Unlike some others, he offered to come take a look and gave me a quote in person.
I the had to reschedule 3 times, but he was accommodating. He and his team completed the job quickly. They made sure to cover the entire area and clean it thoroughly.
They did a great job, and I'd highly recommend them.

Marcelino and his team did a great job replacing the entire west side of my home's stucco which was water damaged. Team worked efficiency during the rainy February. Looks as good as new. True craftsman.

Marcelino Plastering has been our go to contractor for years. Besides being professional, he's great about providing options and explaining the pros and cons. His work is top notch and he stands by his work with a more than fair guarantee. We have projects around the house that range from minor to large projects as recent as 4 months ago to ten years! And we are very happy with each one! His prices are more than fair and from an ethical standpoint you won't find anyone better!

Marcelino Plastering spent 7 months on an extensive facade renovation of my 3 story corner apartment building. They did an amazing job, the finished building is stunning. I am pretty sure the building looks better than it did in 1926 when it was brand new! They replaced 90 windows in the building, not an easy job, with skill and expertise. They are hard workers, good craftsmen and very nice as well. They went above and beyond, and I highly recommend them for any of your contracting needs. I admit it was hard being inside my apartment for some of the work, but after the building was finished, I forgot all about the noise, dirt and inconvenience of those few months. It was definitely worth it and everyone I know has commented on how beautiful the building is now! 5 out of 5 stars!!

The owner has been doing miscellaneous work on our home for years. He has done work both on the interior and exterior of our home. My husband and I have been satisfied with all the work he has done for us. This company is honest, reliable and quick! Pricing is very fair. We have tried using other contractors, but we have not found any who meet the same quality standards as Marcelino Plastering. If you're still thinking about using them for a project, give them a try. You will be NOT be sorry.

Five out of five stars for Marcelino Plastering. I wanted to have fifty-five linear feet of wall covered with colored stucco. I reached out to ten local contractors. Six got back to me and four came to my house to discuss the job. Asael Marcelino stood out because he took the time to really understand my needs. He also offered suggestions for how the design of the wall finished product could be improved. He then went into detail regarding what he would do if given the job. The next day I received a nicely detailed proposal. I had no problem selecting Marcelino Plastering and things only got better from there. Asael returns calls, texts, and emails promptly which is not something all contractors are good at. Scheduling was a breeze and his team of four showed up as planned over the course of several days and got the job done quickly and professionally. They took great care to mask off and protect my property, sidewalk, and trees before applying any stucco. After each day's work was done, they cleaned up completely. I was impressed that Asael wanted me to be available in case any questions came up. When a couple did, I was able to answer them on the spot so that work did not slow down and, more importantly, so that the finished product would be perfect. The finished wall is beautiful, and I can enthusiastically recommend Asael Marcelino and his fine team of workers at Marcelino Plastering.

Marcelino has done many jobs for my parents over the years interior and exterior. Always cover their area before they start working and always clean up their area before they leave. Marcelino hardest working man I have ever met that works side by side with his workers and the most honest man you will ever meet. His estimates are fully detailed step by step on how the job will be done and what materials will be needed. Best prices you will ever get. Marcelino Plastering if you're still thinking about using them for a project, give them a try. You will be NOT be sorry.

Asael honest. He looked at my window leak had him open small opening to see where the leak coming from. I was concerned wood rot. It turn out it's not my windows but my roof. I sincerely appreciate his honesty. His employees did job replacing stucco back to original form. Left my place clean and took all garbage back. Give him a chance you won't regret it.
