"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."

"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 and team did a phenomenal job. They had great attention to detail and completely transformed the exterior of our house. They were incredibly easy to work with, very reasonably priced, and responsive to all of our requests. The crew was very clean and ensured the site was treated very carefully all day. Marcio and crew were also very friendly and were happy to have my young kids observe their work. So very glad we chose Souza Painting. They will be my first call for projects going forward!"

Stucco questions, answered by experts

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.

When cleaning stucco siding, it is recommended to use a pressure washer with a psi (pounds per square inch) between 1,500 and 2,000. This range provides sufficient power to remove dirt and grime without causing damage to the stucco surface. It's important to avoid using excessive psi as it can chip or crack the stucco. 

Using a wider spray nozzle and keeping a safe distance of about seven to 10 feet from the siding helps ensure a gentle and effective cleaning process. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and adjust the psi accordingly based on the condition of your stucco and the specific requirements of your pressure washer.

Well-maintained trim boosts aesthetic appeal and prevents costly future repairs.

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.

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.
