"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."
"Homexpert Contractor, Mauricio Flavio, was great. He replaced a piece of aluminum facia that was blown off by a windstorm. But more importantly, he correctly diagnosed a problem concerning the baseboard on my siding pulling away from the foundation that other contractors had missed. He made the repair and there is no indication a problem ever existed. I am very pleased with his work and would definitely use him again."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"We hired H@F to resolve storm damage to our roof/siding from 2025 spring hailstorms. Our project managers name is Reggie Trankle. From start to finish Reggie proved to be outstanding. He assisted us with coordination requirements between the insurance company and contractor, he ensured the work performed was done professionally, he always made himself available for questions, and he kept a positive and professional demeanor from the start of the project to the completion of the project. The siding and roof installation turned out great. We are planning to update our siding on the North side of the house next year and will insist to have Reggie manage that and all future roof/siding projects at our residence.

"Crew arrived on time; foreman asked me to show him exactly what I wanted replaced, redone and repaired and done. Showed him where everything was, old siding, new door, where to make the opening for the new door, and where the places where that needed replacement siding. They got to work in a timely fashion and if there was any question, the foreman came to me and asked to make sure they were doing what I wanted done. Crew stayed all day to get the job done. The foreman returned the next day to fix 2 replacement spot, they had not gotten to on the previous day. Did a great job, looks great and the foreman was adamant that I was satisfied that they had done everything that I had asked to be done. The siding looks great and so does the new door. Good work."
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.
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.
DIY is possible for small cracks or patches. Professional services ensure proper texture and color matching.
The best adhesive that works on stucco is usually a product specified for use on stucco or concrete surfaces. The adhesive will need to be strong to grip the stucco, but should also wipe away clean when used in a temporary application. You can also consider using super glue or hot glue on stucco.
Quikrete will set without mixing. The process of pouring dry concrete into your concrete form and then adding water is called dry pouring. While this method makes pouring concrete simpler and easier, it reduces its strength and durability. It can be a viable option for small, decorative concrete pavers for walkways or for setting fence posts, but it’s not ideal for pouring slabs that will bear any significant amount of weight.
