About Utah Stucco & Exteriors — Our Story & Experience

My name is Jovanny Narciso, founder of Utah Stucco & Exteriors.

Growing up in Utah

I was born in Mexico, but Utah has been my home since I was 13 years old. I grew up here, attended Orem High School, and later continued my education at Utah Valley University (UVU).

Over the years, I've watched Utah grow and change. I've seen new neighborhoods develop, communities expand, and families build their lives here. Being part of that growth has given me a deeper appreciation for the homes and communities we serve.

Utah isn't just where I do business. It's where I grew up, built my career, and now have the opportunity to build something of my own.

Learning stucco alongside my dad

My experience in construction started when I was young, working alongside my dad. He introduced me to stucco and taught me the trade through hands-on experience.

From preparing surfaces and applying base coats to working with different stucco finishes and textures, I learned the importance of proper techniques, patience, and taking pride in every detail.

My dad has always been my mentor when it comes to stucco. His knowledge, experience, and dedication to the trade helped build the foundation of everything I know about stucco today.

Building construction and business experience

As I grew older, my journey in construction took me beyond working in the field.

I had the opportunity to help establish NARAF Construction alongside my uncle, taking on new responsibilities and gaining valuable experience in residential and commercial construction, project management, estimating, customer relationships, and business operations.

That chapter taught me not only about construction but also about leadership, responsibility, and what it takes to build and operate a company.

After approximately eight years of growing, learning, and gaining experience, I realized it was time to take the next step.

A new chapter, rooted in family

I had my own ideas, goals, and vision for the future. I wanted to create a company that reflected my values, my experience, and my commitment to delivering quality work.

That's how Utah Stucco & Exteriors was born.

And what makes this new chapter even more meaningful is the opportunity to build it alongside my dad — the same person who first taught me stucco.

Today, we're bringing together his years of hands-on stucco expertise and the construction and business experience I've gained throughout my career.

We're also excited about taking on new projects alongside our closest family members, combining our knowledge, hard work, and shared commitment to craftsmanship.

For me, Utah Stucco & Exteriors represents more than just starting another construction company.

It's about returning to my roots, continuing what my dad taught me, bringing my own ideas to life, and building something meaningful for the future.
