"They should be called A+1 Vinyl Siding Company! Jeff, their salesman, was very professional and thoroughly explained everything we needed to know about vinyl and their company. Paul, the owner, was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating to our schedule. We had Leaguard gutters installed only 2 years ago, so we had to arrange for Leafguard to come out and take the gutters down before our siding job began. Paul juggled his crew's schedule so that they started our job right as the gutters were coming down! The crew was also extremely friendly and hard-working. You could tell they have been doing this for years and paid attention to all the little details. Our house is a Tudor colonial, with brick on the first story and stucco on the second story, so all of the siding work was just on the second story. They had all the proper equipment to get the job done efficiently and cleaned up every evening. The job only took 1 week and they even worked half a day on a Saturday. We would highly recommend them!!"

Stucco questions, answered by experts

Cracks, discoloration, and moisture intrusion often indicate necessary repairs.

Tools include trowels, floats, and patching compounds. Professionals use these for precise and durable repairs.

You should aim to let stucco dry for at least 48 hours before it rains. While misting new stucco and keeping it moderately moist is important for strength and longevity, uncontrolled exposure to rain can lead to weak stucco that doesn’t bond properly. Rain can also affect the stucco finish and the color unevenly, leaving you with less appealing siding.

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

The curing time for stucco typically takes several weeks to fully complete. During the curing process, the stucco undergoes a chemical reaction and gradually hardens. It's important to note that curing is different from drying. While the surface of the stucco may dry relatively quickly within a few hours or days, the curing process continues beneath the surface, strengthening and solidifying the stucco. 

It's best to avoid excessive moisture exposure during the curing period, as it can impede the curing process. The exact curing time can vary based on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the specific stucco mixture used.
