"I received two quotes for the stucco repair. I thought the first was very high and got a second quote for Fernandez Stucco Construction. Juan was very prompt in responding and gave me a quote that was substantially lower and in line with what I considered reasonable. The work was done in a timely manner and to my full satisfaction. I would definitely use them again if needed."
"Came by on Sunday to give me an estimate and came back yesterday to do the job. Which was raking up some leaves in my front and back yard. Amazing job 10 out of 10."

"Fidel and his crew were prompt, responsive, thoughtful, professional, and kind. Their work was thorough and careful from washing to prepping the surfaces to painting. They were careful with our bushes and shrubs around the front and sides of the house and the back garden. They were meticulous with the pieces they needed to remove and re-attach, e.g. house numbers, shutters, gutters, etc. They got the job done in exactly the period of time estimated. We were very pleased with this complex job!"
"LCH Masonry recently completed a repointing of our front brick stairs and porch. Rachelle was great to work with to get the initial estimate and took the time to answer all our questions. Lamont and his crew did a great job matching the mortar color, cutting out all the mortar and restoring the steps such that they look new. I would use LCH Masonry again and recommend them to others."
"My wife and I bought our home late last year from Housekick. They partnered with ProGreen to do all the interior work. The house paint is absolutely amazing! I told them to surprise us with a fun door, and they picked out the perfect green color to compliment the house. It was a great surprise! Interior paint is flawless and everything was left clean. The cabinetry work was incredible. They also re-did all the countertops and tiles. Owner, Cory, set up appointments for us at the best tile and countertop places in town and we were greeted by an attentive team member who gave us a tour and showed us all our options. They know Cory and the kind of work he does and we’re able to guide us and make recommendations. Their teams did a great, clean job on all the walls. The LVP flooring is absolutely amazing and we could not be happier. It's incredibly durable! We have a very active dog and his nails never leave a mark! During the move we slid a lot of furniture around and no marks! I painted a few accent walls and got paint on the floor. It came out with some soapy water. They redid our staircase and it’s absolutely spectacular! There are so many other things they did to complete the house, including building a full deck and fence. Overall could not be happier with our house and the job ProGreen did. Cory's customer service is only outshined by his attention to small details and how many times he's on the job site monitoring his team's efforts. Will never use anyone else!"
"Everything went great. Abel installed some screening sandwiched in plaster (or maybe joint compound) to create a new, clean, strong, crack free ceiling. 3 years later the ceilings still look like new! If I could afford it, I'd do every other room in the house! "
"Jonas and his team were great. They painted the walls, trim and ceiling in our 1488 sq ft home. They offered a fair rate, were very communicative, and did quality work. I would recommend and would book for future projects."
Homeowners insurance generally won’t cover stucco damage unless it’s caused by a covered event like a storm or fire. You’ll need to pay out of pocket for damage caused by age, wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or faulty installation. Consult your policy for the specifics of what stucco damage is covered and what isn’t.
Stucco applied over brick can last 30 to 50 years or more when correctly applied and properly maintained. Stucco’s lifespan can be shortened by improper application, incorrectly mixed material, lack of preparation before application, and lack of maintenance. To get the most life out of your stucco siding, keep up with maintenance and repair any damage as soon as you discover it.
Choosing between traditional and synthetic stucco depends on your specific needs, budget, and climate. Both options are durable, but synthetic stucco includes an extra layer that makes it more resistant to cracking and a better choice for climates with extreme weather. In hot, dry climates with less rainfall, traditional stucco is a suitable and more affordable option that is less likely to trap moisture. Synthetic stucco also offers more color options and requires less maintenance.
The cost to replace the chimney crown or top is about $1,550 on average. The range varies widely depending on the size of the chimney, the materials used, accessibility, and the extent of the damage.

Several clues suggest that your stucco is damaged or has underlying issues. Visual clues include discoloration, cracks, indentations, broken caulking, or visible mold. If you touch your stucco and feel any soft spots, that could also indicate a problem. If you notice any of these concerns, call in an inspector who can confirm your suspicions and help provide solutions.
