"We were so pleased with this company! I originally contacted Manny about a 16 hr Big Deal for wallpaper removal and booked an appt the following week. We then got ahold of a wallpaper steamer and removed the wallpaper ourselves. This resulted in a huge mess. The steamer made the primer under the wallpaper bubble and pop. I contacted Manny and explained we removed the wallpaper but now needed paint and repair services. He was very understanding and accommodating, which I appreciated since we changed our appt from a 16 hr job to an 8 hr job. In 8 hours, they were able to apply drywall mud to damaged areas, sand, apply 1 coat of primer and 1 coat of paint. The walls look great! We will definitely contact them again in the future for drywall repair and painting!"
"I had been looking for some time for a company to do a lot of exterior work on my home. A business acquaintance who had employed Mr. Sanders gave him a good recommendation. My experience with him has been excellent. He advised me on materials, drew up an accurate account of the costs, and had the work done promptly. The crews he employed were courteous and efficient. I only wish I had more money to spend on additional projects!! I strongly recommend him for this kind of restoration."
"My wife and I remodeled our kitchen - which entailed taking out walls, adding a new wall, and redoing the ceiling to look modern. This crew came did an outstanding job. The gave us an amazing texture that other bidders didn't even know how to do. The price was fair, the work was amazing. They were clean cut, respectful, and didn't leave until we were blown away with how the kitchen looked.
If you're investing in your home, these are the guys to go with."
"Great experience with Eden Home Services Corp. As soon as I put in an order, I was contacted by email, then a phone call, and had drywall complete the very next day. Eden has personable workers who are knowledgeable about the work that is being done! I will hire again in the future!"
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
