Q: Who does stucco for homes?

• <div><p>Many general contractors can handle adding stucco siding, but it&rsquo;s best to hire a local stucco contractor as you&rsquo;re more likely to get a clean finish on your stucco siding that maximizes curb appeal. Stucco can be a challenging material to work with, so hiring a professional contractor who has years of experience and specializes in stucco application is advisable. Compare price quotes from at least three stucco contractors in your area to find the right pro for your task.</p></div>

Q: Can I screw directly into stucco?

• <div><p>Yes, you can screw directly into stucco. Only do so if the item you are installing is a permanent fixture. Drill a pilot hole into the stucco using a masonry or concrete bit, then drive in the screw with a power drill or screwdriver.</p></div>

Q: Is stucco considered siding or cladding?

• <div><p>Stucco is considered a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cladding-types.htm">type of cladding</a> because it includes a built-in ventilation layer, a weatherproof membrane beneath that, and, often, a layer of insulation to improve building efficiency. The multiple layers of stucco&mdash;the scratch coat, the brown coat, and the finish coat&mdash;also create a more complex building membrane, so it&rsquo;s more accurate to call it cladding. However, homeowners and contractors alike refer to stucco as siding.</p></div>

Q: What size drill bit should I use for stucco?

• <div><p>You can use small bits that are up to 3/8 inch in diameter, or larger bits that are 1/2 inch or more in diameter. Make sure the bits you use are coated with carbide or diamond; this information is usually visible on the package. You can also use hole saw bits to drill into stucco.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to stucco a house?

• <div><p>Late fall is generally the best time of year for installing stucco siding. We don&rsquo;t recommend hiring a stucco pro to apply this feature when the temperatures are below freezing, so it&rsquo;s best to avoid applying stucco siding to your home during the winter. However, it&rsquo;s safe to apply in hot and colder temperatures, so any other time of year is suitable. The spring and summer are the busiest times of year for stucco siding professionals, so you could save money by doing the work in the off-season: the late fall.</p></div>

Our 28 year old Insinkerator failed so we bought a new model. Bert and Morgan from Odd Job Larry came to install it. They were both very professional and cordial. They really knew what they were doing. Despite a nasty glitch (original silicon caulk had turned to cement) they powered through it...

Joe was a fantastic contractor. He explained exactly what he was going to do and did an excellent job. Since the work went a little easier than he expected, he was able to take money off the original estimate. How often do you see that nowadays with contractors! Highly recommended Joe and...

Very well. Service person was professional and courteous. The gutter that needed cleaning was over a hard-to-get-to corner containing stucco, landscaping, and several landscape lights. He was very careful not to damage anything, and he cleaned and rinsed the gutter thoroughly.
