"I couldn?t be happier with https://ajwindowhaus.com/. Here?s the thing?I did a lot of research and compared sliding glass doors from all the big box stores. When it came to quality, glass thickness, hurricane rating, and cost, AJ Window Haus stood out by far.
I went with a 3-panel slider, and the difference is night and day. The doors glide effortlessly?I can literally move all three panels using just my pinky. The craftsmanship is top-tier and truly speaks for itself.
My only regret? Not having Alex?s team install it. I thought my contractor could handle it, but the installation was clearly more complex than expected. I was on edge the entire time. If you're considering a door from AJ, I strongly recommend using their installation team?they know their product inside and out.
The door has become a centerpiece in my home, and every time I see it, I?m reminded I made the right choice. No regrets whatsoever?this is not the kind of flimsy product you find at the big box stores. This is"

Stucco questions, answered by experts
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.
Stucco is very challenging to DIY, so it’s always best to leave the work to professional stucco contractors. The same recommendation applies to painting a stucco house, which should be left in the reliable hands of a professional exterior painter.
Inexperienced DIYers can make several critical mistakes during stucco application, such as:
Failing to apply sufficiently thick layers for longevity and water resistance
Uneven application
Uneven texture across the exterior
Mixing the stucco improperly, leaving a weak structure
Failing to texture properly in between coats, leading to cracking and chipping
Neutral colors like white, tan, beige, and light brown are the most popular stucco colors. Natural stucco has a grayish color due to the high concentration of Portland cement in the material, but most homeowners have their contractors add pigments to create a more inviting appearance. Stucco is most popular in hotter climates, where it provides ample insulation to regulate interior temperatures and keep the solar heat out. Since lighter colors reflect more sunlight, lighter stucco is more prevalent.
Yes, you can apply stucco directly over brick, and the rough texture of the brick should be enough for the stucco to adhere to, even without a binding agent. Just be sure to clean the brick thoroughly before stuccoing, and allow 72 hours for the first coat of stucco to dry, even if it feels dry to the touch. The thicker portions that fill in the mortar joints will cure more slowly than the thinner portions over the brick faces.
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.
