Welcome to Associated Plastering & Lathing Contractors of San Diego!

News & Updates

It is with a sad heart that the APLC Board of Directors has voted to dissolve the Associated Plastering & Lathing Contractors Association.

Our Mission

The Associated Plastering and Lathing Contractors of  San Diego strive to work with architects, builders, and the general public to provide the highest quality workmanship and materials on all plastering and lathing projects.

To increase public awareness of lathing and plastering contractors and their services we advocate and uphold high-quality performance standards within the industry.

Statement:

The Associated Plastering & Lathing Contractors Association of San Diego has been established since April of 1947. Through the years we have provided information, networking, product and technology updates through our meetings as well as provided a service for inspections needed regarding stucco applications, quality and workmanship.

Since the Covid epidemic the APLC has struggled. Due to lack of interest and participation the Directors have elected to ‘close our doors.

We want to thank all of you in the Lathing & Plastering industry who have supported us throughout the years.

Sincerely,

APLC Directors
