Bethany Beach, DE 7/22/2022 Paint or Stain Exterior Surfaces We hired DMJ Custom Colors to clean and apply solid color stain to treated wood skirting on our beach house. Dennis spent much time with me advising me on which products would be best. He even provided a contact with a paint manufacturer and encouraged me to consult with him. This was extremely helpful. He and his men did a wonderful job, with great attention to neatness and detail. He promptly responded to ever contact and finished the job promptly. We could not be more pleased. His price was a little higher but I was willing to employ him because of his helpfulness. It was a great experience and I will use him again. 5.0 Beth M. Bridgeville, DE 7/15/2022 Paint or Stain Exterior Surfaces Dennis and his crew did a fantastic job on my exterior house painting. I have a cedar shake house and I was worried how good of a job a company could do. With DMJ Custom Colors Painting my house was in excellent hands. They sealed the windows and doors, painted my chimney, and even replaced a whole end side of shakes that were rotting. Of course upon my approval, their communication was definitely professional I highly recommend Dennis and his crew at DMJ for any painting project you have. My house looks wonderful!"

"We originally asked for a price to fix the post on the front porch and paint the exterior of our stucco house.  AC quickly gave us an online estimate of $2600 from pictures we had sent. We then arranged a time that week for him to come over and look more closely at the house.  He agreed to do the job as we requested but had some reservations about painting without doing some fix up prep work first.  He had his painters come look at the house and they expressed even greater concern and stated the paint job would not last nearly as long without replacing some rotted wood and doing extensive caulking and stucco repair which was obviously needed.  After talking with them we agreed that the prep work should be done at an additional cost of $2400.  They first worked on the post on the front porch and did a great job.  They were able to repair the post instead of replacing it which we appreciated.  They then took 2 days working on the prep work prior to painting.  They did a very thorough job and were even able to remove some extensive vine debris with no evidence of its remains after painting.  AC had recommended using Sherwin Williams for the paint but we were unable to get the color we wanted even after working with a SW dealer who honestly tried very hard to match our request.  AC agreed to use the Behr paint of the color we had chosen.  They applied an oil based exterior primer prior to applying the finished coats.  The painters were excellent.  Dither was very knowledgeable and thorough.  He and his painters worked hard and payed attention to details.  Both AC and Dither did frequent walk throughs with us and addressed all our concerns.  At the final walk through we had noticed bubbling on the concrete on the front porch. Although a primer was not recommended with the concrete paint they had used, they returned and scrapped the paint and repainted with an oil primer and another topcoat. We requested that $200 be held back on the payment until this work was completed and AC agreed without hesitation.  The painters returned to repaint within the week. We are very pleased with their work and would use them again needed."

Stucco questions, answered by experts

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 decision to repair or replace stucco depends on the extent of the damage. For minor issues like small cracks, holes, dirt, stains, or discoloration, a repair is typically sufficient and more cost-effective. These issues can often be resolved with a simple repair, a deep clean, and possibly a new coat of paint. However, for more significant problems such as large cracks, peeling, mold, algae, or structural water damage, a replacement might be necessary. In these cases, it is best to call a professional stucco contractor for an inspection. An expert can assess the severity of the damage, determine if there are deeper issues, and advise whether a repair is adequate or if replacing a section or an entire wall is the more cost-effective, long-term solution.

It’s not advisable to use CLR on stucco. CLR is a powerful acidic cleaner designed for removing tough mineral stains. Stucco is a porous material commonly made of cement, lime, and sand. The acidic nature of CLR can potentially damage or etch the stucco surface, leading to discoloration or deterioration. 

It is best to use cleaning solutions specifically formulated for stucco or mild household cleaners mixed with water to clean stucco siding. Always test any cleaning product in a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire stucco surface.

The cost of a repair depends on several factors, including the severity, complexity, and type of damage. Other key elements are the cost of any necessary replacement parts, hardware, materials, or required software updates. Labor rates and whether emergency service is needed will also influence the final price.

The length of time shouldn’t matter much if you stick with lightweight Christmas lights and similar decorations. Those shouldn’t pose risks to your stucco. You should avoid attaching anything to your stucco that could fall because it’s too heavy, which may take part of the stucco with it. Some methods, like using double-sided tape or adhesive hooks, will naturally wear out over time and lead to falling lights, so don’t expect to leave these lights up year-round.
