"Outstanding. Rick and his team did an amazing job. They communicated through out the whole process. Finished on time even with a humidity challenge, not their fault. The baseboards looked amazing, and you couldn't even see where the walls needed repaired."

"Tristan came out to inspect the shingle roof on our detached garage. A home inspector had noted issues with the roof and suggested a professional roofer take a look. Tristan was able to come out the day after I called him. He inspected the roof, told me it was in fine condition outside some minor repairs, and walked me through how to do them myself including what equipment I'd have to buy."

"The company was referred to me by my co-worker. I called them to get an estimate on replacing weak floor boards from water leaking inside my bedroom from a window air conditioner. I spoke to Donna to set up an appointment with the owner, Matthew, to stop by and assess the work. We set up a time convenient for both of us.  The morning he was supposed to come, he was in a car accident. He was courteous to contact my job since he did not have my home number with him. My office forwarded me his message in an email since I was working from home. I called him later in the day to see how he was feeling. Matthew was very professional and apologized for missing our appointment. We set up another time. He came out and assessed the job and gave me a price. He did inform me that if floor joints had to be replaced the price would increase.  We set up a date for the work and his staff arrived on time.  After tearing up the old floor boards, he showed me the damage and asked if I wanted to replace the floor joints. He assessed what materials would be needed. He called Matthew to tell him the extent of the damage. Matthew called me about the adjusted price in which I agreed. During the repair, his staff showed me the new floor joints and insulation he replaced before he cover them with the new floor boards.  He also cleaned up.  I am very happy with the work and that my floor is leveled again.

Stucco questions, answered by experts

To repair damaged exterior stucco, you’ll first remove all loose and crumbling material from the damaged area. You then need to thoroughly clean the area and dampen it to ensure proper bonding. After that, you’ll apply a bonding agent to the repair area, then apply new stucco in layers, allowing for curing time between each layer. The final coat should be textured to match the surrounding stucco pattern as closely as possible. Once fully cured, the repaired area can be painted to match the rest of the wall if needed.

Solid, unpainted stucco shouldn’t suffer damage from dots of glue used for this task. If the stucco is dirty, you may notice slight marks when you heat and peel the glue away, but these aren’t permanent.

However, not all stucco walls are solid stucco. Some are “faux” stucco with a foam backing. This kind of stucco veneer is more susceptible to damage, including damage from hot glue. We don’t suggest attaching anything to these kinds of stucco walls, so make sure you check the stucco type before starting this project.

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.

If it is applied properly, stucco is a durable material that can last between 50 and 80 years, especially with regular repair and maintenance. Things like painting the stucco every 10 years or so will help it last longer. The location of your home plays a big part in the life span of your stucco, too.

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.
