Q: Can I screw directly into stucco?

• <div><p>Yes, you can screw directly into stucco. Only do so if the item you are installing is a permanent fixture. Drill a pilot hole into the stucco using a masonry or concrete bit, then drive in the screw with a power drill or screwdriver.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right contractor for stucco removal?

• <div><p>When hiring for your project, look for licensed, insured contractors with experience in stucco removal. Ask them for references, review their past stucco removal projects, and request detailed, written estimates. A reputable stucco removal contractor will explain the entire process, outline all costs, and ensure proper disposal and compliance with local codes.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of stucco?

• <div><p>One of the most significant downsides to stucco is the installation cost, which is higher than that of many other siding options because getting it to look clean and professional is a labor-intensive process. Stucco can also absorb water, making it an unsuitable option for siding in areas that see excessive rainfall. Finally, stucco can crack and chip, especially in extreme weather, and repairs are not only challenging and require help from a professional who does stucco, but can get expensive.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to remove stucco siding?

• <div><p>The time required to remove stucco siding depends on the size of the home, the thickness of the stucco, and the complexity of the project.

"Yessi and her team did a wonderful job painting the interior of my 1800 square-foot townhouse. The work was done professionally and the workers were extremely tidy and cleaned up every day after themselves. After they were done painting the interior of my house I was so pleased with the work I needed some extra work done. Yeezy and her team were able to build me a closet and a third floor bedroom. The work was done so well it looks like it was part of the original build. I could not be more pleased with all of their work and their prices were more than reasonable. I would highly recommend Yessi and her services ."
