"We recently hired this company for a home remodeling project, and while the finished work was okay, the overall experience was disappointing. One of the most frustrating issues was that they cut shower panels directly on top of our brand-new laminate flooring, damaging several tiles. Although they later replaced the damaged sections using our spare materials, they did not offer to reimburse us for those materials. The biggest issue, however, was their unprofessional conduct around payment. At no point were we informed that payment would be required immediately upon completion or that failure to pay on the spot would result in them threatening to rip out the completed work. My partner, who was the only one home during the job, let them know he had to leave for class. While he was in his lecture, they repeatedly called and messaged him saying that the job was done—but unless they recieved payment within 15 minutes of texting him, they would tear everything out. We've worked with many contractors throughout our remodel, and none have behaved this way. Most are comfortable finishing the job and billing us afterward. This kind of pressure and lack of communication was incredibly unprofessional, and based on our experience, we would not recommend this company to others."

Stucco questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
Redesigning your home's exterior is closely related to the price of remodeling its exterior. Redesigning may include anything from reshaping the entire home to simply updating the materials that cover and protect it. Small upgrades can cost as little as a couple thousand dollars, while whole-home redesigns can total over $100,000. However, the average that homeowners spend on exterior redesigns is between $5,000 and $30,000.
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.
The decision to repair or replace stucco 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’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—like water damage and mold—require removing and replacing sections of your stucco, or the entire thing.
