"Identified areas that had water damage and removed and replaced including wood. Resurfaced all remaining stucco surface. Also repaired and resurfaced stucco on chimney. Team was effecient, clean, and finished on time. Fair and reasonable pricing, finished stucco looks amazing. No hidden extra costs!"
"Ricky and Daniel did a phenomenal job repainting the interior of our house and cabinets. They are punctual and professional, and work very efficiently. We're very happy with the work and are going to have them do the exterior as well! We highly recommend them."
"Study Construction is a great company to work with! Very professional and detailed crew! I definitely recommend and hire them again! My house looks beautiful!!"
"Their work exceeded my expectations, very clean, professional job. Workers were very respectful and professional. Completed an entire apartment in 2 days including the ceiling and trim. Probably the best paint job I’ve ever seen, and I’ve worked with many painters before. I’d definitely hire them again if needed."
"Overall, it went very well. I was very happy that the man who did the estimate was the same man who came out and did the work. Mr. Dupre even came out to my house the Saturday before the job started and applied a sample to make sure the stain color was what I wanted. I live north of Baton Rouge and that (along with traffic) caused Mr. Dupre to be a little late some of the scheduled work days. I did not get a competitive quote because I found very few providers who do actual refinishing and the price seemed reasonable based on the amount of time needed to do the job properly. I don't know if "refacing" would have been cheaper, but I wanted to keep the wood grain pattern and I think "refacing" removes that natural look. Mr. Dupre did need to come back a few days after the job was done to touch up the polyurethane on some of the cabinets. The cabinets are more glossy than I had anticipated, but I am not going to fault Mr. Dupre for this. They look excellent in my opinion. I would definitely recommend Quality Coatings for painting and refinishing.
**Updated. I have been trying to get in touch with Mr. Dupre for two weeks now to change the finish from semi-gloss to matte. No response. Maybe he's very busy with other jobs."
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.
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 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.
The cost to replace the chimney crown or top is about $1,550 on average. The range varies widely depending on the size of the chimney, the materials used, accessibility, and the extent of the damage. If you suspect a problem with your chimney top, call a professional masonry contractor for an inspection.
Homeowners insurance may cover the cost of siding repair or replacement, but coverage depends on the cause of the damage. Most policies will cover damage from a covered event, such as a storm, wind, hail, fire, natural disaster, or other impact damage. Your policy might pay for the full or partial cost of the repair or replacement. However, damage resulting from age, general wear and tear, or neglect is typically not covered, and you should expect to pay for those repairs out of pocket. It is best to review your specific homeowners insurance policy for full details on what is covered, how to file a claim, and what documentation is required.
