"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."

"This whole process has been SO easy for us. After the first appointment until install date they were in contact with us and kept us informed about every detail of the project. On the day of the bath remodel, the installers were professional, quick, and did an excellent job. It was so much less stressful then I thought it would be. We love our new shower. Would highly recommend!"

"The quality of work delivered by Style Painting is beyond words! This winter I submitted nothing but lauditory remarks for the interior painting they completed; and our exterior painting needs were even more demanding. Style Painting excelled beyond our expectations. Everyone of our abutting neighbors & others unsolicitedly visited us because they had never witnessed such impeccable work & workers. Everyone of them also stated when they needed such services "We know who to call." ALL services were provided by Style Painting either employees or subcontractors, everyone of whom delivered faultless detail. Work included, but not limited to carpentry, power washing, sanding, priming, staining, and exterior painting. Paulo is exceptionally knowledgeable in all aspects of paint. In our 50 plus years of home ownership we have never had such a comprehensive, reliable, competent, trustworthy, dedicated team. Our mahogany porch flooring reveals it's grain again [the sander we highly recommend]; the individual slats of oak porch ceiling glows beauty as never before; our back deck is more vibrant than when it was first installed; brushing your hand over the newly refinished cedar clapboard feels like satin. Our neighbor, running his finger along the edge of the front door molding remarked, "I have never seen such a straight line of painting along edges like this; they are remarkable." I observed the same artistic detail on the wood slats of the sliding door, not a drop of paint off line on any window pane. Painstaking effort to preserve the integrity of the gardens was a daily measure they all practiced. Once again the Style Painting team cared about our home as if it were their own. Please call Style Painting if you wish to visit or inquire further."

"Marcio was great to work with. His team worked hard everyday for over a month to repair and paint the exterior of our victorian house that was in disrepair. 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!"

Stucco questions, answered by experts

A standard drill will work just fine if you’re drilling small holes, and only a few of them. But anything with a diameter larger than 3/8 inch is best done with a hammer drill, since it is stronger, faster, and also makes your drill bits last longer. While you don’t absolutely need a hammer drill for stucco, it is a worthy investment if you think you might drill more holes down the road.

Yes, professionals can color-match new or repaired stucco to existing finishes to ensure a seamless and uniform appearance. While most providers offer this service, it is recommended to confirm with them beforehand.

Stucco is very challenging to DIY, so it’s always best to leave the work to professional stucco contractors. The same recommendation applies to painting a stucco house, which should be left in the reliable hands of a professional exterior painter. Inexperienced DIYers can make several critical mistakes during stucco application, such as:

  • Failing to apply sufficiently thick layers for longevity and water resistance

  • Uneven application

  • Uneven texture across the exterior

  • Mixing the stucco improperly, leaving a weak structure

  • Failing to texture properly in between coats, leading to cracking and chipping

Cracks in the chimney can be very serious, depending on their location and size. Even small cracks can become serious over time if left unrepaired. Cracks allow heat and moisture to deteriorate your chimney and harmful carbon monoxide gas to seep into your home. Small cracks can often be caulked, while large cracked sections may require full replacement.

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.
