Pittsburgh Stucco Repair

I was impressed with the quality of work performed by Robert's crew. My front steps had a broken corner and were stained with rust. Tony Baker was the lead and did a fine job of repairing the concrete and matching the color of the resurfacing material to the house. The steps look great. I had several damaged areas with the exterior stucco on my house caused by a water intrusion issue . Tony modified the the roof run-off to help mitigate future problems. The damaged stucco and wood trim was replaced and painted. The color was matched perfectly. Another job well done. All work areas were cleaned up. I would certainly hire this crew again.

The stucco on our home was cracking and bulging. I interviewed six contractors and we hired Joe Vance. He was professional, punctual and thorough. He emailed itemized proposals including a scope of work. He recommended applying a concrete base (Portland cement mix) with mesh and a dyed to match acrylic top coat. It was a great call and our home looks wonderful. I was skeptical if it would increase the value of the home but I do think it has. Joe completed this work in the winter and instead of taking a shortcut by adding anti-freeze to his mix which in turn dilutes the process and materials, he set-up scaffolding, tented each section and ran heaters to keep the appropriate temperature. We were so pleased with Joe and his crew that we hired them to do interior plaster and paint work. I highly recommend Joe and his team and we look forward to hiring him again in the future.

8/12/16 Working with Bob and Tony was a great experience. Tony did the stucco work and was very meticulous and proficient in his workmanship. I would definitely recommend them. I would not hesitate to have them do more work for me.

My experience with Joseph Vance and Vance Construction was very favorable, from first contact (when he answered the phone on the second ring) to the completion of the job, which involved patching and painting stucco across the entire front of the house, sealing and painting cedar trim boards all over the house, and painting the gables, which peak out at over 30 feet above the ground. He clearly explained what he was going to do, how he was going to do it, and why it needed to be done. After having spoken to a couple of other contractors, I realized that, based on Joe's professionalism and very competitive pricing structure, hiring Vance Construction for this job was a very easy decision to make. Joe and his crew arrived on time every day, worked efficiently and without interruption, and left our property exactly the way they found it. Bottom line- I would hire Vance Construction again without hesitation, and highly recommend them to anyone in need of their expertise.

Process went very well. I was informed of any issues. More importantly, I was informed of the process, necessitating time for the stucco to cure before painting. Repair work looked very good. Project within budget estimate.

MY REQUEST FOR CALL BACK WAS QUICKLY ANSWERED. OWNER VIEWED PROPERTY AT THE APPOINTED TIME. COURTEOUS AND PROFESSIONAL. PROVIDED WRITTEN ESTIMATE FOR THIS AND OTHER REPAIRS AT OUR CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION.

Part of the second floor ceiling, including a light fixture, fell down due to water damage from the third floor bathroom (which we fixed separately). Sweet Success removed the remaining damaged plaster, patched the ceiling, reinstalled the light fixture, repaired some unrelated cracks in the wall plaster, and repainted everything to match the original paint (and retextured the ceiling). Because our house is pre-1970, they used precautions appropriate to asbestos and/or lead. We had to wait for a spot on their rainy-day list, since they are typically booked solid, but it turned out only to be a wait of about a week. The workers arrived punctually every morning, were respectful of my requests for text communication rather than phone calls (we had an infant at the time), and finished the work in about three days. The patches blend perfectly and the work looks great. They left behind the extra paint for us. The work was completed well within the projected range. We will definitely be hiring them again.

Great. He was doing patchwork to try and match two different existing patterns. Did an excellent job. Was very professional and efficient.

They came out through my insurance claim and did a great job. The work was beautiful and you couldn’t even tell a repair was done. I also hired them to install a new roof. The guys were nice and respectful. They did very nice work and I am happy with their services.

After receiving estimates from 3 contractors, I selected Chris due to his professionalism and thoughtfulness. I needed someone trustworthy to perform the job properly and Chris gave me the confidence that his team could handle it. As the crew began to remove the the cracking stucco, the Sweet Success team ran into a few concerns, including a power line that was close to the repair area. Chris called me back to site and carefully explained all of my options. He then gave me time to consider how I wanted to proceed with the job. Once the electric company covered the power line with a protective cover, Sweet Success was able to continue with the job. The entire thing was completed in 5 days (including the initial demolition day) and all went according to plan. Although Chris warned me that the new paint color would not match the original wall color exactly, I was pleasantly surprised with the final results. I was also pleased to see that team cleaned up the site very well when finished. Sweet Success was extremely timely and professional throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality work.

We're excited for our next project with Chris and his team and have already recommended Sweet Success Contractors to friends and neighbors. From quote to finish, our experience was easy--Chris gave us a detailed overview of what he needed to do to address some of the issues of our 110+ year Tudor home. He approached the project with the same detail -- even when we asked for a few more things to be added to the project list ;-) His team was super thorough, prompt and pleasant. We could not be more pleased with the level of craftsmanship. Thank you, Chris and Sweet Success!!

Rick Morow and his crew have an exceptional working knowledge of products and material used in their field. They were professional, explained procedures as work progressed. Their attention to detail insured the excellent appearance of the finished product and surrounding area.

Sweet Success showed up on time. They were generally punctual. The work itself was done well and as proposed. The crew were friendly and skilled. The only complaint is that they could have done a better job keeping things clean where they worked and when they went into and out of my house. That is probably be our only complaint. I would employ them again to do similar work.

Dale was AMAZING! I can't even begin to stress how impressed my husband and I are with the quality of work that was done! Our house looks incredible. A few years back we had a woodpecker destroy the stucco on our house (yes, I'm serious) and we paid a painter to come in to repair the area and it was awful, it didn't match and almost instantly started peeling again and was quite the eye sore. I contacted dale and he came out and gave me a very reasonable quote and he completed the job on time and was a pleasure to work with. I can not stress enough how impressed I am. If you need stucco or plaster repair, don't bother hiring anyone else because Dale is the best at what he does. I will be recommending him to everyone I know

Joe Vance and his crew were very punctual, professional and their quality of work was excellent. I have dealt with a number of contractors in the past; some of them family members and have had my share of bad to mediocre experiences. Joe and his crew were here for almost three weeks, they never missed a day with the exception of weather. Joe always kept me appraised of any possible problems and in regards to the progress of the job. They completed the work in a very timely manner and to my specifications, their work ethic was excellent and with the exception of a short lunch Joe and his crew were always in motion. They were maticulous and ensured that the work was done properly. I trusted Joe and they were frequently here alone; I consider myself a good judge of character and I never got the feeling that I was being taken advantage of or lied to. Joe was offering a fair days labor for a fair wage. He answered all of my questions in a knowledgable fashion and even made himself available after hours in case my wife and I had further questions, concerns or wanted to inquire about possible changes to the project. I would and have recommended Vance Construction to friends and family; they are a good group of guys that do quality work. My wife and I are very happy with the outcome of our job.
