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 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: 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: What are the main alternatives to aluminum siding?

• <div><p>Aluminum siding isn't the only type of siding material on the market for giving your home's exterior a makeover. Alternatives to aluminum siding include vinyl siding, wood siding, composite siding, and brick veneer siding. Each siding material comes with strengths and weaknesses that could influence your decision based on your particular circumstances, so it's important to look into each type as they pertain to your home and lifestyle before deciding.</p><p>A popular competitor to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/aluminum-vs-vinyl-siding.htm">aluminum siding is vinyl siding</a>, which has a similar price and is lower maintenance but comes with a shorter life span.</p></div>

"Currently going through renovations with this Company. We are over a month into the project which has had 3X times more days not working than actual progress being made on the house. The initial estimate and sales experience was good, they were quick to respond and connect. As soon as we committed to this company and paid 50% deposit that's when the communication stopped. We had windows being installed from another Company so I was communicating status of that install so Burbach could could schedule after our windows were installed. When I told them a date the installation would be complete they gave me a date they would start on our renovations. The date they finally came was 1 week after they communicated. When they arrived they were not ready for the job. No dumpster had been ordered so the demo process couldn't proceed as intended. The guys tried to do the best they could but they were forced to work around their mess. The dumpster then arrived two days later at which point the next day was used for clean up. Once the demo was complete another week went by before the team came back to actually install the hardie board on the house and they would work a partial day and leave. I was told this was due to rain. It only rained for 10min each day and then stopped, if that's true it makes sense why they are so delayed. During this entire process I received no communication. When I reached out my calls and texts were ignored. When I did finally get in touch with someone there was no apology or serenity just that they got busy. After the exterior work was complete but not painted they had extra material left in our driveway along with the dumpster, it took another week for the material and dumpster to be removed but I also had to call on that. We waited another 2 weeks for painting to start and once it finally did they painted half the house and we haven't seen them again for 3 days. I was told they would finish the job last week and it will likely go another week for paint. I'm still waiting for half the house to be painted and I have gutters that still need to be installed so I'm hoping that doesn't take another month to get scheduled. We also ordered patio doors but I couldn't get anyone to give me a timeframe on installation so it became obvious that these were never actually ordered. Overall the biggest issue with this company has been communication and scheduling, its painfully obvious that customer service is not a priority and they have developed a lax and unprofessional culture. If you have other options you should pursue those instead of choosing Burbach."
