Q: Does new stucco increase home value?

• <div><p>Fresh stucco on your home can boost your home&rsquo;s value. Stucco is versatile, fire-resistant, and very durable. Even though having stucco replaced is a big undertaking, it&rsquo;s cheaper to remove and replace than other materials such as wood or vinyl. If you are preparing to sell your home, buyers would love to know that the home they are purchasing has new stucco that will easily last 50 or more years. </p></div>

Q: What size drill bit should I use for stucco?

• <div><p>You can use small bits that are up to 3/8 inch in diameter, or larger bits that are 1/2 inch or more in diameter. Make sure the bits you use are coated with carbide or diamond; this information is usually visible on the package. You can also use hole saw bits to drill into stucco.</p></div>

Q: How long does house cladding last?

• <div><p>The durability and overall longevity of house cladding varies by the material, but the average lifespan is between <b>15 to 25 years</b>. Metal cladding is generally the most durable and long-lasting, with a life expectancy of up to 100 years. Environmental factors such as climate, humidity, moisture, and UV exposure can all play into how long cladding lasts. </p></div>

Q: Do you need a hammer drill for stucco?

• <div><p>A standard drill will work just fine if you&rsquo;re drilling small holes, and only a few of them. But anything with a diameter larger than 3/8 inch is best done with a hammer drill, since it is stronger, faster, and also makes your drill bits last longer. While you don&rsquo;t absolutely need a hammer drill for stucco, it is a worthy investment if you think you might drill more holes down the road.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to stucco a house?

• <div><p>Late fall is generally the best time of year for installing stucco siding. We don&rsquo;t recommend hiring a stucco pro to apply this feature when the temperatures are below freezing, so it&rsquo;s best to avoid applying stucco siding to your home during the winter. However, it&rsquo;s safe to apply in hot and colder temperatures, so any other time of year is suitable. The spring and summer are the busiest times of year for stucco siding professionals, so you could save money by doing the work in the off-season: the late fall.</p></div>

"My wife and I have hired Showstopper Painting a total of four times. To say we are extremely satisfied feels like an understatement. We have a 40yr old Townhouse with aluminum siding. We selected a blue/gray exterior paint. Showstopper did a great job. We contracted them to paint the first floor and then the second floor. They painted everything ceilings, walls, baseboards, doors, door frames and window trim. They patched, puttied and sanded wall anchor holes, nail pops, drywall cracks and corner separations. The drywall repairs were flawless. The trim work (baseboards, window frames) cut in flawlessly. So, Why not do our deck. Our deck is somewhat complicated with built in seating. They taped it off with plastic. No Over spray and again flawless. Now, Show stopper does subcontract the work. Their Professional Supervisors were on site most of the day. If things were not done to their salinification, It was corrected, to the supervisors satisfaction and ours. This is not a 'two men & a brush' operation. During the four contracts they showed up early in the morning and were on site all day. Each of our 4 contracts took 2 days. Showstopper had a crew here, they worked all day and were on time. Karen from Showstopper was our contact. She had a great rapport with the subcontractors, oversaw their efforts and made corrections when necessary. All in all it was a great contractor experience having Showstopper Painting paint our home. We highly recommend Showstopper Painting and Karen to paint your home."
