"A&W representatives were very professional and provided us with a clear explanation of the damage and the options for repair. A&W worked directly with our home insurance company to verify the full cost of the roof replacement and that it would be fully covered under our insurance policy. The roof was replaced in one day. Their was a minor issue with the quality of the fascia that was replaced on one side of the house but it was resolved satisfactorily in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend A&W to anyone needing roof repair work."
"Choosing this company for our siding project was the best decision we made. The transformation of our home's exterior is remarkable. We love the new look of our house!"
"Mauricio did a superb job on the repairs to my siding and trim! He was very thorough, knowledgeable, efficient, and affordable. He also introduced us to Rodrigo at Dream Painting LLC for a complete exterior paint job. We couldn't be happier with the results! We highly recommend both of these companies for their excellent work and customer service!"
"We used H.B. Remodeling & Project Management for siding repairs on the front and sides of our home. The team did a great job. They showed up on time, worked hard, cleaned up, and completed the projects quickly and as scheduled. They showed good attention to detail in the areas we discussed during our initial walkthrough."
"I had had a piece of roof facia edge tore away in a big storm in April. I had our roofing company come out to replace it and was assured it would hold. 8 weeks later the same piece tore away in a windstorm again. The roofing company said if they put it up again, it would be the same price and would be put up the same way. I called Triton Exteriors who agreed to to replace it for about the same price and so far it has held up through a couple of strong storms. The installer said the previous piece was not cut and secured properly. Thank you Triton for your excellent service."
"We had extensive roof, window, window screen, siding and personal property damage from the Hail Storm on 3/14/2025 in South County. Ricky Waller was our project manager. He was very knowledgeable about the materials needed, estimating, working with the Insurance appraiser, overseeing the entire project and notifying us when workers were scheduled to be at our house.He and Coldstream Exteriors are very professional, answer any questions and do not apply any pressure to make a sale. Their company statement is that they treat your home as if it were their own and that is the way they treated our home repairs. Attention to detail is very important to us and it is also very important to Coldstream. It was a pleasure working with Ricky and Coldstream Exteriors. If you need roofing & or siding we strongly recommend considering Ricky and Coldstream Exteriors."
"Shawn and team did a great job on our gutter replacements as well as a roof repair in one of the roof valleys. I highly recommend them and would use them again for my exterior work. Very diligent and professional."
"Craig (Owner) and his team were absolutely great to work with. He answered all of my questions throughout the entire project. He and his teams were professional, experienced, and very skilled at their crafts. I would HIGHLY recommend Carroll Roofing and Exteriors for any exterior work on your home. I am definitely recommending Carroll Roofing and Exteriors to my family and friends."
"Great! They had an earlier window in their schedule so we got them installed earlier than expected. It was quick, professional and clean. They look beautiful."
Neutral colors like white, tan, beige, and light brown are the most popular stucco colors. Natural stucco has a grayish color due to the high concentration of Portland cement in the material, but most homeowners have their contractors add pigments to create a more inviting appearance. Stucco is most popular in hotter climates, where it provides ample insulation to regulate interior temperatures and keep the solar heat out. Since lighter colors reflect more sunlight, lighter stucco is more prevalent.
Solid, unpainted stucco shouldn’t suffer damage from dots of glue used for this task. If the stucco is dirty, you may notice slight marks when you heat and peel the glue away, but these aren’t permanent.
However, not all stucco walls are solid stucco. Some are “faux” stucco with a foam backing. This kind of stucco veneer is more susceptible to damage, including damage from hot glue. We don’t suggest attaching anything to these kinds of stucco walls, so make sure you check the stucco type before starting this project.
All of the components of stucco are non-combustible, so the siding material won’t ignite or spread fire to the interior of your home. However, it also expands and contracts with changes in temperature, so it will crack from long exposure to heat. Eventually, fire will spread through those cracks. Still, stucco is one of the best siding materials for fire protection and can keep you and your family safe for an hour, on average.
If it is applied properly, stucco is a durable material that can last between 50 and 80 years, especially with regular repair and maintenance. Things like painting the stucco every 10 years or so will help it last longer. The location of your home plays a big part in the life span of your stucco, too.
Stucco repair can best be described as a patch. It involves identifying the problem and fixing that specific damage with additional stucco. If no mold infiltration or an underlying leak is causing the damage, repair is most likely all you need.
Remediation, on the other hand, involves removing the existing siding, fixing the underlying cause of the damage, and then reapplying stucco siding for that wall. It’s a more permanent fix that takes longer to complete and, hence, comes with a steeper price tag than repair.
