My name is Phil Merrill and I truly love what I do and enjoy making people happy. My father always told me while growing up to find something I love, then find out how to make money while doing it, and if I can accomplish these things then I will never work a day in my life. As I have grown older and learned that my parents were actually right about a thing or two, I see what my dad meant by never working. When I'm swinging a hammer or crafting with my hands, it’s not work but, a Passion. My Dad was also a carpenter and when I was younger he used to take me to work with him during summer vacations. That's when I first started to learn my trade. Now it's been over 15+ years. I am grown and have a family of my own with my amazing wife, Tracy, who encouraged me to start my own business. We have two boys, a girl, a grandson, and our pups, Lexie and Paisley. We are from the Seacoast, NH area and I look forward to helping you fall in love with your home again!

Stucco questions, answered by experts
Stucco is considered a type of cladding because it includes a built-in ventilation layer, a weatherproof membrane beneath that, and, often, a layer of insulation to improve building efficiency. The multiple layers of stucco—the scratch coat, the brown coat, and the finish coat—also create a more complex building membrane, so it’s more accurate to call it cladding. However, homeowners and contractors alike refer to stucco as siding.
You can apply stucco to wood by wrapping it with grade D waterproof paper, installing trim accessories such as metal lath, control joints, weep screeds, casing beads, and expansion joints, and applying the stucco in three layers. You’ll need a scratch coat, brown coat, and finish coat, all applied with a trowel and screeded with a darby or straight edge. Each should cure for two days before you apply the next one.
German schmear is a durable brick masonry coating. It should last at least a decade or two without flaking or fading, even with minimal maintenance. This makes it an economical option compared to the cost of painting your house exterior, which usually needs to be repainted every five to 10 years to keep it looking its best—thus costing more over the same time period.
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 will dry in two to three days, but you should wait one to two months to allow it to cure fully before you paint it. The curing process is slow, but leaving the material exposed to air and natural moisture will help it reach its maximum strength. If you live in a hot, arid climate, wait a month before painting. Wait two months before painting if you live in a more moderate or wet climate.
