"They did a terrible job on installing the siding on our home in January of 2023. They had short pieces and one piece even slid down and had to be moved up and reattached. They tried to hide nail holes on our trim with a dark putty but left them as big globs. The foreman of both crews never did show up at our home. He was working with a crew at an apartment house two blocks from us. This apartment house was owned by an attorney here in town. Tim came and listened and looked at our concerns but when they tried to fix everything it was still a disappointment to us!! I would never recommend them to anyone.
We bought news doors from them, also. He replaced the patio door with a smaller door so now the wheel chair will not fit through the door.
We had to rent a nail detector to find all the nails all around the house. We are still finding them two years later!"

"This has become a comedy of errors, poor communication on the part of ADHI and a nightmare for us as homeowners. We were told it wouldn’t be a problem to get this work completed last fall. Before we signed the paperwork, we were told by Hector that ADHI would handle "everything" (roofing, gutters, stucco repair, storm window replacement, deck refinishing). After Hector continually told us he was trying to line everything up and then started ignoring our calls, I called your IL office. Only after several calls to your home office in IL, did we learn that we had been lied to and all you do is roofing and gutters. I am astonished at the incompetence and lack of respect for us and our home. I have several emails and taped conversations asking ADHI for help. I also have an email, that someone inadvertently forgot to take me off of, where your employees are belittling me. In case you are wondering, I emailed the parties, respectfully letting them know that they forgot to take me off. We were told that someone would work with us on the scheduling of materials and the crew, this also turned out to be a lie. We even have a crew that showed up and would not do the work because ADHI had lied to them about what are home needed. Delays in materials, delays in work crews and nine months later we still have extra materials that remain uninstalled and incomplete work. The most correspondence we have received from you is wanting to be paid. We have no idea who we are supposed to be working with as your so called team isn't even talking to each other or your contractors. I am appalled at the incompetence and have contacted the BBB. We had contractors pounding on our roof well into the evenings as well as on Sundays. We were forced to delay the stucco work and painting, that Hector said ADHI would handle and have nothing but excuses from your company. I have never dealt with a more unprofessional situation. There is nothing but finger pointing going on there. Now, we have a contractor who has been given instructions to nail boards to the stucco? Are you kidding me? That will destroy the stucco work. Do you plan to re-stucco our house? This on top of the issues I have already sent? Loose shingles parts ordered that haven't been installed yet a downspout that was improperly installed and is resulting in erosion near the foundation Trim that was removed and not replaced leaving the fascia boards exposed. damage to the stucco. debris still around the house. unsightly flashing attached to the house. A company is only as good as the employees it hires, so I don’t care who you point fingers at in your company, it is still your company! I am also finding, that your company and employees have misrepresented themselves with other homeowners,and there are current lawsuits and complaints everywhere on the internet."

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.
In many areas, a permit is required to remove stucco siding, especially if structural repairs or new siding installation are involved. Check with your local building department for specific requirements and associated permit fees before starting your project. Permit fees range from $100 to $500.
Stucco repair can best be described as a patch. It involves identifying the problem and fixing that specific damage with additional stucco. If no mold infiltration or an underlying leak is causing the damage, repair is most likely all you need.
Remediation, on the other hand, involves removing the existing siding, fixing the underlying cause of the damage, and then reapplying stucco siding for that wall. It’s a more permanent fix that takes longer to complete and, hence, comes with a steeper price tag than repair.
Yes, you can apply stucco directly over brick, and the rough texture of the brick should be enough for the stucco to adhere to, even without a binding agent. Just be sure to clean the brick thoroughly before stuccoing, and allow 72 hours for the first coat of stucco to dry, even if it feels dry to the touch. The thicker portions that fill in the mortar joints will cure more slowly than the thinner portions over the brick faces.
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.
