Q: How long does German schmear last?

• <div><p>German schmear is a durable brick masonry coating. It should last at least a decade or two without flaking or fading, even with minimal maintenance. This makes it an economical option compared to the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-paint-house-exterior.htm">cost of painting your house exterior</a>, which usually needs to be repainted every five to 10 years to keep it looking its best&mdash;thus costing more over the same time period.</p></div>

Q: What makes the Mediterranean style unique?

• <div><p>The Mediterranean style is unique in that it&rsquo;s designed for homes in hotter climates and to maintain a connection with nature. The building materials include stucco siding, clay roofs, and interior tiling with tall ceilings and open floor plans. These all come together to keep the interior cool. The building materials are all natural and tend to have muted earth tones, and the architecture typically allows for easy, open access to the outdoors through large windows and arched doorways. The decor and architecture can range from simple and functional to opulent, depending on the type of Mediterranean home it is.</p></div>

Q: How long should stucco dry before painting?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can stucco be installed over existing siding?

• <div><p>Yes, stucco can be installed over existing siding, but some contractors wouldn&rsquo;t recommend it. Putting stucco over other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-different-house-siding.htm">types of siding</a> requires careful consideration and proper preparation. Stucco is regularly added over brick and wood siding; however, some of the biggest factors affecting stucco installation include the condition of the existing siding and whether it&rsquo;s strong enough to hold the weight of the stucco. If stucco is added to another type of siding, the weight can cause it to crack, making it susceptible to moisture, water damage, and mold.</p></div>

Q: What type of exterior paint finish is best for stucco?

• <div><p>The best exterior paint finish for stucco is a flat or low-gloss finish. A high-gloss finish will show imperfections in the stucco and give it a candy-coated look that many homeowners don&rsquo;t like. The best types of exterior paint to use on stucco are acrylic, masonry, and elastomeric. However, acrylic is recommended because it is both durable and breathable.</p></div>

Cesar & Nora showed up when the promised, on-time and provided an estimate. The cost was reasonable so we hired them to complete the work. They matched the pigment in the stucco and then complete the job. The work was stellar. Hire them? You will not be sorry!

Our handyman was Drew. He was punctual, courteous and very skilled at what he does. All of my ceiling holes were patched and stucco was matched pretty good. Since I have some physical ailments, I would definitely use them again.

As it goes, the one business card with all the info needed is missing. Price was right, and I think it was Bob, did an outstanding job installing the new vent, but more important, you can't tell were the old hole was. A super job on matching the stucco on the wall both inside and out.
