"Gordon and his son did the stucco around our 100+ year old house, they did a wonderful job. Besides the impressive and quality work, the communication was great, his response time was fast, they were always on time, fair pricing, and never left a mess. I would highly recommend them to anyone and would absolutely hire them again. Our old house looks new again."

"This was by far the easiest transaction on a project yet! Was on time for a free estimate, great value. Came and fixed it when he said he would. The estimate he gave was exactly what I paid. He did an amazing job on my ceiling. Oh yea! I had a leak from un upstairs shower in a 100 yr old queen Victorian home. After his plaster repair. It looks like nothing ever happened to it. Thank you! ."

"I have a small crack in my hybrid stucco.  I was nervous about it so I
called Aspire.  Peter came out that same day and rather than making up
some work for himself, he said not to worry about it, "don't waste time
or money." I thought that was so honorable of him.  I really appreciated
that honesty.  I would definitely have him back out to do work because I
really trust him.

Stucco questions, answered by experts

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.

To maintain stucco, inspect it annually for cracks and clean the surface with a mild detergent. Seal any cracks promptly to prevent water infiltration, and reseal or repaint as needed to preserve its appearance.

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.

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.

Stucco will dry in two to three days, but you should wait one to two months to allow it to cure fully before you paint it. The curing process is slow, but leaving the material exposed to air and natural moisture will help it reach its maximum strength. If you live in a hot, arid climate, wait a month before painting. Wait two months before painting if you live in a more moderate or wet climate.
