"Bob did an exceptional job with plastering and smoothing over popcorn ceiling. There was added difficulty to the job due to harsh weather conditions which added more moisture and other variables, but Bob took care to provide clear and concise directions for me and for me to provide to other contractors. I would certainly recommend"
"I found Liam and Bryan very easy to deal with. Bryan provided a quote within several days of my initial contact in regards to my chimney repair and painting the base. Their whole crew was very professional and I am very pleased with the results. They explained any problem clearly and solved them satisfactorily. In fact, they repaired the flashing and new clay flue liners free of charge. I highly recommend LBJ Masonry."

He made sure to match all of the detailed mouldings for areas that needed replacement. He also rebuild the front porch laying down mahogany decking that makes a great statement to the found of the house. Very happy with the results!"
Damage is often caused by moisture, impact, or settling. Regular maintenance prevents significant issues.
Masonry screws are the best option to be used on stucco. They’re thicker and made to penetrate harder surfaces like concrete and cinder blocks. Fluted masonry screws work the best because they create a stronger grasp thanks to the lines on their shafts. If you’re working on exterior stucco, use galvanized screws to prevent corrosion.
Several clues suggest that your stucco is damaged or has underlying issues. Visual clues include discoloration, cracks, indentations, broken caulking, or visible mold. If you touch your stucco and feel any soft spots, that could also indicate a problem. If you notice any of these concerns, call in an inspector who can confirm your suspicions and help provide solutions.
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.
Stucco applied over brick can last 30 to 50 years or more when correctly applied and properly maintained. Stucco’s lifespan can be shortened by improper application, incorrectly mixed material, lack of preparation before application, and lack of maintenance. To get the most life out of your stucco siding, keep up with maintenance and repair any damage as soon as you discover it.
