Q: How long should stucco dry before painting?

• <div><p>Stucco will dry in two to three days, but you should wait one to two months to allow it to cure fully before you paint it. The curing process is slow, but leaving the material exposed to air and natural moisture will help it reach its maximum strength. If you live in a hot, arid climate, wait a month before painting. Wait two months before painting if you live in a more moderate or wet climate.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair stucco myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small cracks or patches. Professional services ensure proper texture and color matching.</p></div>

Q: What are some signs that my home needs stucco repair?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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 &ldquo;give,&rdquo; you should consider repairing it as soon as possible to avoid further damage, both to additional stucco spots and to your home&rsquo;s structure. </p></div>

Q: What happens to stucco in a fire?

• <div><p>All of the components of stucco are non-combustible, so the siding material won&rsquo;t ignite or spread fire to the interior of your home. However, it also expands and contracts with changes in temperature, so it will crack from long exposure to heat. Eventually, fire will spread through those cracks. Still, stucco is one of the best siding materials for fire protection and can keep you and your family safe for an hour, on average.</p></div>

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."
