"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!"

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."

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."
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.
DIY is possible for small cracks or patches. Professional services ensure proper texture and color matching.
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.
A standard drill will work just fine if you’re drilling small holes, and only a few of them. But anything with a diameter larger than 3/8 inch is best done with a hammer drill, since it is stronger, faster, and also makes your drill bits last longer. While you don’t absolutely need a hammer drill for stucco, it is a worthy investment if you think you might drill more holes down the road.
It’s not advisable to use CLR on stucco. CLR is a powerful acidic cleaner designed for removing tough mineral stains. Stucco is a porous material commonly made of cement, lime, and sand. The acidic nature of CLR can potentially damage or etch the stucco surface, leading to discoloration or deterioration.
It is best to use cleaning solutions specifically formulated for stucco or mild household cleaners mixed with water to clean stucco siding. Always test any cleaning product in a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire stucco surface.
