Q: What is the difference between stucco and mortar?

• <div><p>Mortar, or masonry mortar, is mainly used in joints and as parging for stone, brick, or cement construction. Stucco is primarily a surface material used as wall coverings. For maintenance, masonry will need repointing or replacing as damage or land shifting occurs, whereas stucco will need patching or refinishing as it tends to crack over time along with other types of wear-and-tear.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a hammer drill for stucco?

• <div><p>A standard drill will work just fine if you&rsquo;re drilling small holes, and only a few of them. But anything with a diameter larger than 3/8 inch is best done with a hammer drill, since it is stronger, faster, and also makes your drill bits last longer. While you don&rsquo;t absolutely need a hammer drill for stucco, it is a worthy investment if you think you might drill more holes down the road.</p></div>

Q: Should I repair or replace my stucco?

• <div><p>The decision to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/repair-vs-replace-stucco.htm">repair or replace stucco</a> depends on the extent of the damage. If the culprit is dirt, stains, or small cracks, your stucco will benefit from a deep clean, quick repair, and possibly a paint job. If you notice large cracks or peeling, it&rsquo;s time to call a professional to fix your stucco. They can guide you in deciding whether your issue is simple enough to repair or whether severe problems&mdash;like water damage and mold&mdash;require removing and replacing sections of your stucco, or the entire thing.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>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. </p><p>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&rsquo;s a more permanent fix that takes longer to complete and, hence, comes with a steeper price tag than repair.</p></div>

Q: Is stucco more affordable than vinyl siding?

• <div><p>No, stucco siding tends to be more expensive than vinyl siding. While the materials for stucco are less costly, the labor-intensive application process increases the total project budget. If you're comparing stucco versus vinyl siding based on cost alone, vinyl siding would be the winner there. In terms of longevity, on the other hand, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-stucco-last.htm">stucco lasts</a> for around 50 years, 10 to 30 years longer than vinyl siding, making it a better long-term investment.</p></div>

I got 5 bids from various roofing contractors, and Indus Field Commercial Roofing's were, by far, the most complete and detailed. While they were not the cheapest, they were very competitive and within 5-10% of the lowest bid. It took about 8 weeks after getting on their schedule after...

Well enough. Since it was the roof there were paint or stucco stains on a hidden part you can't see the window repair had to be done twice. And cleanup could have been done better. After tearing off roof I needed them to come back twice to magnet rake any nails or metal debris.

They subbed out the stucco work to a guy who thought he was going to paint and then they sort of mixed the materials of the deck and I didn’t find that out until it was done. They also worked on the fence and they did a great job on that. They are pros for the fence work but not so much for the...
