"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."

"Jason gave us a competitive cost for redoing the stucco of our front porch half wall. He and Shannon did a great job and completed it on time. Jason was very prompt in communicating any updates to the progress and schedule."
"I have employed the services of Abel at Plaster Solutions multiple times over the last 4 years. He has helped me with projects both large and small. His most relevant work includes a kitchen and bath remodel, repairing exterior stucco and replacing damaged drywall. I highly recommend Abel's services. I really wish he was still in Greensboro!"
"AMAZING JOB!! Showed up on time everyday ready to work. Very respectful of being in someone's home and very careful. They spent almost an entire day putting up plastic and prepping the walls and areas that would be painted. Very time consuming but as a result I didn't have paint where it wasn't supposed to be. They did an excellent job taking down wallpaper that had been up for over 20 years and did not damage the walls. I was most thrilled with my oak cabinets in the kitchen. I had been warned not to try to paint them but Rafael (owner) and I researched different techniques which they implemented and the cabinets look fantastic. I feel like I have a new house. Rafael was easily accessible by text, phone, e-mail and very responsive. He stopped by almost every day to make sure I was pleased. I would definitely recommend Hi-Lite Paints for interior or exterior work."
"Arturo is the owner. he is great to work with. he is very careful to make sure things are the way it should be. He sees possible problems and and make sure to correct it right away. He does great work."
The Mediterranean style is unique in that it’s designed for homes in hotter climates and to maintain a connection with nature. The building materials include stucco siding, clay roofs, and interior tiling with tall ceilings and open floor plans. These all come together to keep the interior cool. The building materials are all natural and tend to have muted earth tones, and the architecture typically allows for easy, open access to the outdoors through large windows and arched doorways. The decor and architecture can range from simple and functional to opulent, depending on the type of Mediterranean home it is.
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.
Yes, you can screw directly into stucco. Only do so if the item you are installing is a permanent fixture. Drill a pilot hole into the stucco using a masonry or concrete bit, then drive in the screw with a power drill or screwdriver.
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.
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.
