"They were fantastic! The owner came out himself to bid the job, threw in some stucco patchwork that was needed outside of the immediate area to be fixed. The crew was on time, worked quickly, and didn't leave any debris behind (cleaned up the area perfectly). Not the cheapest, not the most expensive either, but the expertise and skill was evident and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Fogg."

"Joel and his partner came on time. They were friendly and professional. Before the job, they protected the work area and explained to me what was to be done. During the work, they spent time on getting things (2 papers + 3 coats stucco) done right, while being very efficient. One of the guys says he has got 25 years of experience on doing stucco. After the work, they cleaned up the area really well and warranty the work for 1 year. As courtesy, Joel also walked around the house with me to spot/assess any other possible concerns with the stucco. Luckily the condition of my stucco is otherwise not too bad. Overall I felt confident and happy on the stucco repair they did. Would use again."

"We hired Pedro to refinish our exterior stucco. I was immediately drawn to his professional yet friendly demeanor and his estimate was highly competitive. On the job Pedro was thorough and detail oriented and also responsive to our requests and needs along the way. As a craftsperson myself, I was also really pleased with his trowel work! So beautiful. I highly recommend his services."

"I thought they were very positive. I liked them. I haven't had any window work done. I don't remember how much the cost was. They didn't do any work, so this is on their approach and bidding. I didn't use them because I haven't had the windows done. They did follow up and call me a couple of times, and I really appreciated that. I haven't decided and I am leaning in the direction of the contractor who came out to look at it; I just didn't get a bid from him. I would rather contact them if I decide to go with them."

"My wife and I decided to have our master bathroom remodeled and phoned around to several contractors for quotes. While many of the quotes were in the same price range, we decided to work with Brother & Brother Builders because of the professionalism of the project coordinator, Dror Postiner—this was one of the best decisions we made. On initial impressions, Dror was on time for the meeting and followed through on every promise made—down to sending us the quote within 24 hours of meeting with us. Dror listened to what we wanted in the remodel and never pressured us into more work or features. He did not try to upsell us when we asked about our guest bathroom remodel as well, but instead encouraged us to let their work speak for itself and wait until we see the work in the master bathroom to decide whether to proceed on the guest bathroom. Their work speaks for itself! Once we decided to work with Brother & Brother, Dror met with us within that week to sign the contract and to schedule the demolition. After scheduling the demolition date, Dror met us at showrooms to buy the finish materials for the project and to help us pick the right materials. He was always on time for these meetings and would let us know where it was best to spend our money (shower fixtures, tile, etc) and where to save money (toilet, accessories, etc), and what products and materials would look well together. The master bathroom remodel was scheduled within a very reasonable timeframe and began on schedule. The crew assigned to our house was very professional and came to work every day. They were very respectful of our home and did all they could to minimize dust, putting down drop cloths and craft paper to protect the floors and cleaning up after themselves at the end of each day. Dror and the crew would also continuously check in with to make sure the features and fixtures we purchased were being installed to our satisfaction and specifications. The remodel of the master bathroom was proceeding so smoothly and effortlessly, including passing all City inspections, that we signed on for the guest bathroom and some drywall work in the master bedroom. The quoting and scheduling process went just as smooth and the work was scheduled to begin immediately after the master bathroom was completed. Once the master bathroom was finished and the guest bathroom was started, the work for the guest bathroom proceeded along the same reasonable timeline as the master bathroom, with all City inspections passed as well. Any time we had a question related to the work, schedule, or inspection, Dror made sure to take care of our questions or concerns. Dror ensured that we never had to worry about the project—even when there were unforeseen challenges—we never had to worry that we’d be left with any issues. It was always taken care of. Both bathrooms and the master bedroom (which also included some exterior stucco work due to a new window) were completed within 10 weeks—exactly within the timeframe we had hoped for. We were initially hesitant to begin a home remodel (especially with a two-year old in the house), but Dror and the crew’s work made this remodeling effortless and worry-free. These remodels were more than just a facelift on a couple old rooms—the work done by Brother & Brother created room transformations that we could have never thought to imagine. Thank you Dror and Brother & Brother for the awesome experience—we’re loyal customers for life!"

"We found Michael (Frederick Jones) on Angie?s List and had
him paint the exterior of our house about a year ago.
We were very happy with
the quality of his work and we had looked at several bids and he was the most
competitive. 
This last August we put our house on the market as we were
moving out of the area.
Our realtor advised us to have the house staged and
repaint the inside-which we did. 
We
needed the work done in a timely manner as there were a lot of things we were
coordinating with a tight timetable.
The painter that was recommended by the
realtor gave a bid that we thought was high and also took way too long ? 9 days. 
Then he said he was too busy for when we
needed the work done. In the meantime I contacted Michael again and got a bid
from him.
He gave me a bid on the spot and was able to start exactly when we
needed him and did it in less than 6 days. 
As before, he did quality work and even did some things that we had not
foreseen that were not in the original bid (like painting inside closets) and he
didn?t charge us extra. And he was still $500 less than the other bid we had!  He had to work with a paint ?color expert?
from the realtor who was very demanding and particular.  Michael did a great job and was courteous and
friendly throughout.   
I would highly
recommend Frederick Jones painting for any interior or exterior work.
Thank you Michael!
Sincerely,
Mike &
Jan

Stucco questions, answered by experts

Neutral colors like white, tan, beige, and light brown are the most popular stucco colors. Natural stucco has a grayish color due to the high concentration of Portland cement in the material, but most homeowners have their contractors add pigments to create a more inviting appearance. Stucco is most popular in hotter climates, where it provides ample insulation to regulate interior temperatures and keep the solar heat out. Since lighter colors reflect more sunlight, lighter stucco is more prevalent.

A standard drill will work just fine if you’re drilling small holes, and only a few of them. But anything with a diameter larger than 3/8 inch is best done with a hammer drill, since it is stronger, faster, and also makes your drill bits last longer. While you don’t absolutely need a hammer drill for stucco, it is a worthy investment if you think you might drill more holes down the road.

One of the most significant downsides to stucco is the installation cost, which is higher than that of many other siding options because getting it to look clean and professional is a labor-intensive process. Stucco can also absorb water, making it an unsuitable option for siding in areas that see excessive rainfall. Finally, stucco can crack and chip, especially in extreme weather, and repairs are not only challenging and require help from a professional who does stucco, but can get expensive.

The curing time for stucco typically takes several weeks to fully complete. During the curing process, the stucco undergoes a chemical reaction and gradually hardens. It's important to note that curing is different from drying. While the surface of the stucco may dry relatively quickly within a few hours or days, the curing process continues beneath the surface, strengthening and solidifying the stucco. 

It's best to avoid excessive moisture exposure during the curing period, as it can impede the curing process. The exact curing time can vary based on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the specific stucco mixture used.

Masonry screws are the best option to be used on stucco. They’re thicker and made to penetrate harder surfaces like concrete and cinder blocks. Fluted masonry screws work the best because they create a stronger grasp thanks to the lines on their shafts. If you’re working on exterior stucco, use galvanized screws to prevent corrosion.
