We hired Eric and his crew for a concrete patio, outdoor fireplace and stuccoed pony walls for a cooking countertop. They did exceptional work on time. We have been exceptionally pleased with their craftsmanship and would absolutely hire them again.

"Brent and Ron showed up the morning (Monday) they promised and started the preparation work. Unfortunately, I forgot to move a number of items (doll house, furniture, odds and ends) from the side of the house, but they went ahead and moved everything without saying a word. During the next 10 days they didn't ask for anything, except for some ice water in the afternoons. After each days work, they cleaned up and placed all of their materials out of the way. They worked until approximately 4pm on the final day (Friday), and then Brent asked me to come out to make sure I was satisfied with their work. I was more than satisfied, and told him so."

Stucco questions, answered by experts

The best way to assess that your stucco needs repair is to inspect it, both visually and physically. If you notice cracks, chips, or staining, that’s a good indication that your stucco could use some TLC by a professional. Additionally, if you touch an area that feels soft and has a little “give,” you should consider repairing it as soon as possible to avoid further damage, both to additional stucco spots and to your home’s structure.

Solid, unpainted stucco shouldn’t suffer damage from dots of glue used for this task. If the stucco is dirty, you may notice slight marks when you heat and peel the glue away, but these aren’t permanent.

However, not all stucco walls are solid stucco. Some are “faux” stucco with a foam backing. This kind of stucco veneer is more susceptible to damage, including damage from hot glue. We don’t suggest attaching anything to these kinds of stucco walls, so make sure you check the stucco type before starting this project.

Properly maintained stucco can enhance insulation, reducing energy loss.
