"I don’t usually write reviews, but S&S Painting and Construction truly earned this one. Fabian and his brother showed up on time every day, worked incredibly hard, and always did their best to bring our vision to life. They listened, paid attention to every detail, and genuinely cared about the quality of their work. John stayed involved throughout the entire project, kept us informed, and handled every setback with honesty and professionalism. When life happened and money became tight, he worked with us with patience and understanding instead of adding stress. That meant more than we can say. The finished project exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you, John, Fabian, and the entire S&S team for your integrity, hard work, and for treating our home like it was your own. I highly recommend them!"

"We had cracks in the dyed mortar of the bricks above our garage. Grady took the time to match the color, even with the color having aged 10 years, and you would not even be able to tell that there was new mortar. If your project is anything like ours, you will not be disappointed."

"We recently had our living room and loft painted. Tyler’s prep work was perfect; he repaired holes and cracks that are now completely invisible. He also assisted us in matching up three different colors for the living room and loft—all of which we love and are glad for his assistance. Everything looks like a brand-new house."

Stucco questions, answered by experts

The decision to repair or replace stucco depends on the extent of the damage. For minor issues like small cracks, holes, dirt, stains, or discoloration, a repair is typically sufficient and more cost-effective. These issues can often be resolved with a simple repair, a deep clean, and possibly a new coat of paint. However, for more significant problems such as large cracks, peeling, mold, algae, or structural water damage, a replacement might be necessary. In these cases, it is best to call a professional stucco contractor for an inspection. An expert can assess the severity of the damage, determine if there are deeper issues, and advise whether a repair is adequate or if replacing a section or an entire wall is the more cost-effective, long-term solution.

The cost to replace the chimney crown or top is about $1,550 on average. The range varies widely depending on the size of the chimney, the materials used, accessibility, and the extent of the damage. If you suspect a problem with your chimney top, call a professional masonry contractor for an inspection. 

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

You should aim to let stucco dry for at least 48 hours before it rains. While misting new stucco and keeping it moderately moist is important for strength and longevity, uncontrolled exposure to rain can lead to weak stucco that doesn’t bond properly. Rain can also affect the stucco finish and the color unevenly, leaving you with less appealing siding.

The cost of a repair depends on several factors, including the severity, complexity, and type of damage. Other key elements are the cost of any necessary replacement parts, hardware, materials, or required software updates. Labor rates and whether emergency service is needed will also influence the final price.
