"We went from 2-double hung windows down to 1 d-hung window. Of course the exterior stucco needed to be patched up. They also repaired down low around the front door area stucco. The job was done quickly and with high quality. Will hire these guys again, if needed."
"We are actually having a new roof put on. But we are definitely planning a full residing, with soffit, facia, and gutters a little later. Raul was great! Super friendly, explained everything all the way down to how the warranty works between different siding options. We would have signed right then if we had the extra funds set aside. He even gave us his number to contact for sale completion. All in all was a fantastic experience!"
"We had Summit Builders replace our old roof this past summer. The crew was efficient clean and mindful of our landscaping around the home. We are pleased with the results and the work the company put in to deal with our insurance company."
"Harley and the Crew did a great job on the front of the house. They replaced all 20 year old banners above the windows, repaired a horizontal crack in the stucco, resurfaced almost the entire front of the house, repainted the entire exterior, and caulked all the windows. The texture and consistency match perfectly to the pattern of the original. And the price point is phenomenal - you canâ t beat it! I would highly recommend TC Stucco and Plaster to everyone that needs work done on existing stucco. Thank you, Harley and Crew!"
"Summer 2013 was a difficult construction season due to weather. As a result, the project stretched from May until October - lots of promises to be on site on specific dates that passed without activity. Generally, quality of work was good. However, small details were often overlooked and I had to point out the need for correction. E.g., small concrete splashes on the new stucco, no plugs on alignment holes drilled in railings, railings not tight, doorway between garages left crude and unfinished, house foundation wall (now the interior wall of the new garage) left dirty, pocked, and ugly. Bottom line, communication and follow-up were more my responsibility than I would have liked - not pro-active enough on achieving customer satisfaction."
"This project was beyond our expectations.Colonial Chimney was able to restore the craftsmanship to our home that was built in 1930.After getting several bids,none had the skill to restore the tree that was embossed on the chimney.The crew was outstanding,very meticulous,and courteous.The stucco restoration was done with precision and artistry from a true master.The chimney is absolutely beautiful.We highly recommend Colonial Chimney."

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