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

Q: What is the expected duration for applying traditional stucco?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 3-7 days, depending on the area size and drying time between layers.</p></div>

Q: Can I install stucco myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small areas. Professional installation ensures even application and long-lasting results.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to build a pizza oven?

• <div><p>Whether or not it&rsquo;s cheaper to build a pizza oven depends largely on what style you opt for and which tools and materials you already have. For example, having a surplus of leftover fire bricks from another DIY project will reduce the amount you need to build a new pizza oven and cut costs to boot. On the flip side, if you don&rsquo;t have any of the required materials, buying a pre-made option will be cheaper and require far less work to set up&mdash;between just <b>$300 and $1,000</b> for the best versions.</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>

"I have hired Waseem for a few projects - among them was the installation of a new microwave over our oven and another to fix a leaking sink. Both were urgent (around holidays) and he came over quickly, he was knowledgeable, fair priced and did excellent work. I have recommended him to others. I hope to hire him in the future, as well."
