Q: What’s the difference between stucco repair and stucco remediation?

Q: How do I maintain stucco?

• <div><p>Inspect annually for cracks, clean with a mild detergent, and reseal or repaint as needed to preserve appearance.</p></div>

Q: How to apply stucco to wood?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How long does stucco take to cure?

• <div><p>The curing time for stucco typically takes several weeks to fully complete. During the curing process, the stucco undergoes a chemical reaction and gradually hardens. It's important to note that curing is different from drying. While the surface of the stucco may dry relatively quickly within a few hours or days, the curing process continues beneath the surface, strengthening and solidifying the stucco. </p><p>It's best to avoid excessive moisture exposure during the curing period, as it can impede the curing process. The exact curing time can vary based on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the specific stucco mixture used.</p></div>

"Overall, I had a great experience working with Precision Painting Plus. From a professional standpoint they were excellent — great communication, quick response time, and thorough follow-up. The painting itself looks very good, but I did notice a few spots that could have been cleaner, such as some paint on the white moldings, a drip mark, and areas around the trim that weren’t as sharp as I’d hoped. Nothing major, but worth mentioning. All in all, I would recommend them and would use them again, just with a little more attention to detail next time."

"I discovered a leak after a storm and having had some bad experiences with contractors I asked around to see if anyone had a contractor they could recommend. I called Eduardo and he came out the next day to look. He quickly found the problem and saw a few other things that needed fixing. His pricing was fair and competitive so I accepted his bid. There was nothing in writing and because of experiences with other contractors I was a bit nervous but I had no need to be. He turned up to do the work when he said he would and he did everything he said he would do. There were no surprises that would cost me more to fix. He and his people were efficient, skillful and friendly. When they were finished they cleaned up to the point where you would not know they had been there. I highly recommend them, and I have recommended them to others. I will absolutely use them again."
