"I have used this company two times for both exterior and interior painting jobs. They are excellent overall. Their crews are hard working and focused on doing a quality job. They do a good job of protecting furniture, flooring etc. from spills...very neat. I have worked with Ben who quoted both jobs for me. They were fairly priced and Ben made sure the job was completed as quoted and that I was satisfied when they were finished. I will continue to use them for future painting projects."
"Rafael did a wonderful and detailed job. He repaired and painted the exterior of my 1700 sq/ft house going for sale and made it look like new. He is trustful, dependable, punctual and dedicated. I’ll hired him without doubt if I’d ever need him again."
Masonry screws are the best option to be used on stucco. They’re thicker and made to penetrate harder surfaces like concrete and cinder blocks. Fluted masonry screws work the best because they create a stronger grasp thanks to the lines on their shafts. If you’re working on exterior stucco, use galvanized screws to prevent corrosion.
Costs range from $500 to $2,000, depending on the damage size and texture matching.
Stucco is very challenging to DIY, so it’s always best to leave the work to professional stucco contractors. The same recommendation applies to painting a stucco house, which should be left in the reliable hands of a professional exterior painter.
Inexperienced DIYers can make several critical mistakes during stucco application, such as:
Failing to apply sufficiently thick layers for longevity and water resistance
Uneven application
Uneven texture across the exterior
Mixing the stucco improperly, leaving a weak structure
Failing to texture properly in between coats, leading to cracking and chipping
Depending on the amount of damage, a stucco repair professional can repair your stucco siding in four to 12 hours. If you only have a few small cracks, that repair could take as little as one to two hours to repair. In contrast, if you have an extensive fix, like foundation or chimney repair, you can expect the process to take a bit longer. Always discuss your project expectations with your stucco repair expert.
Yes, you can apply the stucco yourself, but it is a time- and labor-intensive project, especially on the exterior of a whole house. DIY stucco is better suited for repairing stucco siding or siding a smaller building, such as a shed or garage. Since most of the cost of stucco siding goes to labor, you can cut down significantly on the total if you’re up for the challenge.
