"I began my remodeling project by getting estimates on new gutters and downspouts from contractors. When Benny offered his opinions to me something just clicked between us. In addition to the gutters, I had plans for roofing and painting my entire house along with many small jobs needing to be done later. I gave Benny a wish list and told him that I had budget in mind. After an hour of discussion, I came to the realization that I could have it all done in one shot with Benny. Two days later, Benny emailed me an estimate with a breakdown of each task. He was not the cheapest estimate, but he was in the ball park of all mid-range to high numbers and he is licensed, insured and bonded which is a necessity when people are on your roof and on ladders. He was a good fit for us. Great! I could now prioritize where my dollars should be spent. My wife and I sat down and decided that now was the time to fix up the old homestead for retirement. We contacted Benny and asked him if he could handle it all. Let's just say, lack of confidence is NOT a Benny Bennett character flaw. Lol. Gutters and downspouts, new roof (house and shed), power wash, lots of stucco repair, chimney pointing with a new cap, new capped foundation drip edge, full house painting, and even a TV antenna with ground installed were the assignments given Benny and his crew. Ah, now to his crew! T.J. and Steve are two of the most capable and cooperative young men I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Friendly and hard working are the words that I would use to describe these guys. A third worker came on the final two days, but I didn't really interact with him. Was this an easy experience? Not always, and it did take nearly three weeks due to tropical storm weather, a holiday, and vacations, but it was mostly painless. I'm not an easy guy to please and this was not an inexpensive job and I expect to get exactly what I pay for; nothing more, nothing less. Benny, T.J., Steve, and I planned and executed a very large undertaking in a fairly short amount of time in nearly 100° weather. I will say this: at the end of three weeks, I am a VERY HAPPY HOMEOWNER. I would certainly recommend Benny Bennett Contracting to all people who aren't sure what is possible for their homes to see if he is a good fit for you as well. After all, it's only and estimate. Thanks guys! Stop by anytime for a bottle of spring water. Joe & Karen M."

"I reached out to a few companies for a repair job on some buckling stucco in two places on the second story of my house. Joe with Monarch responded quickly and was able to stop by and get me a quote within a few days. He was very helpful in explaining what was needed, and came in at a very reasonable price. I feel like he went above and beyond to repair my stucco and did an exceptional job. I'd recommend Monarch to anybody needing stucco work done."
"Came out promptly and provided estimate Very reasonable Told me what I needed to buy to finish the job (per my request) Came out and repaired stucco where plumber had to knock out in order to get to leak in wall. Would use again. "
"KDR was fantastic. Responded quickly to request for quote. Knew exactly what needed to be done and gave me additional advice for the future needs of this 30+ year old stucco house. Replaced huge portions of exterior stucco on first floor and you cannot tell the difference between the stucco application put on when the house was built. Blends perfectly. And KDR stuccoed some additional areas down at the foundation to help prevent the kind of damage we had that led to the old stucco failing. Just a great professional team of experts and talented craftsmen. Highly recommend! And they do more than just stucco and I will definitely work with them again in the future."
"Jeff really is AWESOME! He has done a lot of work for me over the last 18 mos. and will be doing more, because he is always on time, exceeds expectations and his fees are always reasonable. Most importantly, Jeff really does treat your home like his own. And while he is a first-rate painter, what impressed me most was his ability to turn his hand to just about anything and do it extremely well. So, I did not need to hire a lot of different pros to get projects from start to finish. Jeff did a beautiful job patching drywall and painting the interiors of 2 homes for me--one of which sold in 3 days for the asking price, the other I live in now. He matched the exterior paint on the chimney of my new home to cover the seller’s sloppy stucco patch job and did it so well the patch itself is hardly noticeable. He’s installed 4 new ceiling fans and moved 2 others for me. Plus, he has replaced a dining room pendant light, an 8-lamp bathroom vanity light and 2 garage wall lanterns. Also, Jeff patched a hole in the side of the concrete foundation and did such a great job, it’s unnoticeable, and so tight it stopped tiny ants from coming in. He also repaired several interior and exterior doors and replaced all but the frame of a damaged attic ladder by himself (Not an easy job). Jeff is amiable and honest and when he couldn’t do a job, he said so. Then he went out of his way to find someone who could, for a great price. Can’t ask for more than that."
The best tape that works on stucco is the kind made explicitly for stucco surfaces. Look for tape that specifies stucco, masonry, or cement installations. The adhesive usually needs to be thicker and more durable to remain stuck to these rough surfaces.
The best exterior paint finish for stucco is a flat or low-gloss finish. A high-gloss finish will show imperfections in the stucco and give it a candy-coated look that many homeowners don’t like. The best types of exterior paint to use on stucco are acrylic, masonry, and elastomeric. However, acrylic is recommended because it is both durable and breathable.
German schmear is a durable brick masonry coating. It should last at least a decade or two without flaking or fading, even with minimal maintenance. This makes it an economical option compared to the cost of painting your house exterior, which usually needs to be repainted every five to 10 years to keep it looking its best—thus costing more over the same time period.
Most homeowners can remain in their homes during stucco removal, but expect noise, dust, and limited access to certain areas. For extensive projects or if hazardous materials are present, temporary relocation may be recommended for safety and comfort. Before removal begins, seal off the work areas and use air purifiers to minimize the spread of dust.
Hiring a professional for stucco repair ensures accurate diagnosis and application of appropriate techniques to prevent further damage. They deliver seamless results that maintain aesthetic appeal and prolong the exterior’s life.
