Our Mission

Terrapin Stucco was founded by two proud New Mexico natives, Justin Santana and Antonio Gonzales, driven by their passion for quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer service. Justin, originally from Santa Fe, NM, earned his bachelor's degree in Finance and Business Administration from New Mexico State University. His early career in various local Santa Fe establishments instilled in him a deep appreciation for outstanding customer care and continuous business improvement.

Antonio, a seasoned expert from Albuquerque, brings over 25 years of extensive experience in the stucco industry. He has successfully managed both small-scale residential and large-scale commercial stucco projects throughout New Mexico, earning a reputation for meticulous quality and reliability.

The paths of Justin and Antonio converged while managing operations at a renowned local remodeling firm, overseeing the successful completion of over 100 projects annually. When their previous employer decided to close its stucco division, Justin and Antonio seized the opportunity to establish Terrapin Stucco, combining their respective strengths in management and hands-on technical expertise.

At Terrapin Stucco, our mission is clear: to deliver unmatched quality and transparency in every project. From initial consultation to final walkthrough, we work closely with our customers to ensure a tailored experience that precisely meets their individual needs.
