A Corrales stucco company built around accountability

What stands out to me about Tesuque Stucco Company is that when you hire them, an established company stands behind the work.

That matters when you are trusting someone with the exterior of your home and making a significant investment in restoring it. Tesuque Stucco employs its own crews, has project managers overseeing the work, an office team coordinating the details, and a physical showroom in Corrales. The same company sells and completes the project, so you know who will show up.

Martin and Shannon Biddle started Tesuque Stucco Company in 2000. The business grew from the two of them working in the dining room of their Albuquerque Heights home into a local operation serving homeowners throughout Corrales, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, and other parts of Central and Northern New Mexico.

They remain focused primarily on stucco restoration.

What you can expect from Tesuque Stucco

If your home needs serious stucco work, you usually have a lot of questions before anyone touches a wall. You want to understand what is failing, what actually needs to be repaired, what the finished home will look like, who will be working on your property, and what happens if something does not go according to plan.

Tesuque Stucco has built its process around answering those questions.

The process starts with evaluating the property and explaining the proposed work. From there, the office handles scheduling and coordination while project managers stay involved as the work moves forward. The crews prepare the property, protect the areas surrounding the work, complete the restoration, and clean the jobsite when they finish.

The project has a clear chain of responsibility.

If you have a question or something needs attention, someone is responsible for answering or addressing it. You know the company doing the work, the people managing it, and the team you can contact after the project is finished.

For a project involving scaffolding, preparation, multiple stages of work, curing time, color decisions, and crews working around windows, patios, landscaping, stonework, and other parts of your property, that organization makes a complicated project easier to live through.

Stucco restoration is the specialty

The company focuses on restoring existing stucco homes and buildings, with residential work making up most of its business and selected small- to mid-sized commercial projects alongside it.

New Mexico homes create their own set of challenges. Older stucco can crack, deteriorate, fade, develop damaged areas, or require more extensive restoration than a simple cosmetic repair. Pueblo style architecture, parapets, traditional cement stucco, synthetic finishes, texture, and New Mexico weather all affect how a project should be approached.

Tesuque works with traditional cement and synthetic stucco finishes and applies its primary finish systems by hand. The company also works with established manufacturers including Dryvit, STO, and El Rey.

The practical benefit is a company that spends its time restoring stucco and knows how to evaluate an existing exterior before rebuilding the finished surface.

Tesuque Stucco is currently licensed, bonded, insured, and certified, and the company offers a twelve year performance warranty. For a homeowner, those details put formal responsibility behind the work.

Twenty-six years without chasing growth at any cost

Shannon talks openly about the balance between growing a business and protecting the quality of its work.

Tesuque could grow faster. The demand has been there. But adding people to take more projects has never been the goal.

The company has operated since 2000, and Shannon says getting bigger is not worth much if the quality begins to disappear. That is why their own crews matter.

Employees are part of the company instead of being handed a job and sent to the next one. Tesuque has foremen, project managers, office staff, estimators, and field crews who work as part of the same organization.

Customer service is part of the internal culture. Shannon wants the team paying attention not only to the stucco itself, but to communication, cleanup, responsiveness, and how the homeowner is treated throughout the project.

A beautiful finished wall matters, and so does the experience of getting there.

Deep roots in Corrales and Northern New Mexico

Tesuque Stucco is based in Corrales, with its showroom along Corrales Road in the central part of the village near Corrales Elementary School.

Shannon and Martin have considered moving the business into Albuquerque, but Corrales fits them. They live in the community, work there, support local events, and have deliberately kept the company rooted there.

The location puts them close to many of the homeowners they most enjoy serving in Corrales, North Albuquerque Acres, and the surrounding Albuquerque area while continuing to serve Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico.

Their local connection also appears in how they celebrate milestones.

For the company's twenty-fifth anniversary, Tesuque Stucco chose to celebrate by giving away a major home stucco transformation to a New Mexico family in need. The project grew beyond stucco as other local businesses became involved and helped improve additional parts of the property.

Shannon spends much of her time thinking about community involvement. She is developing plans for a large community fundraising effort in 2030 focused on helping address education and infrastructure needs in New Mexico.

Shannon likes building things, organizing people, coming up with ideas, and seeing what a group can accomplish when everyone contributes.

Why I would consider Tesuque Stucco first

Tesuque Stucco is not aimed at people whose only goal is the lowest possible estimate.

The company positions itself around careful restoration, experienced crews, and a defined process. It does not remove pieces of that process to lower the price.

That suits homeowners who value the finished work and the process.

That means choosing a company that has been doing this work since 2000. You can visit its showroom and know who owns the company. Its crews work for the company, and people handle estimating, scheduling, project management, field work, and follow-through. The company is licensed and insured, with a current twelve-year warranty behind its restoration work.

Accountability continues after the estimate is signed.

When you are ready to restore the stucco on a home you care about, Tesuque Stucco is where I would start.
