Q: Is sealing part of the standard stucco installation process?

• <div><p>Yes, most services include sealing or finishing to protect the surface. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: How long should stucco dry before painting?

• <div><p>Stucco will dry in two to three days, but you should wait one to two months to allow it to cure fully before you paint it. The curing process is slow, but leaving the material exposed to air and natural moisture will help it reach its maximum strength. If you live in a hot, arid climate, wait a month before painting. Wait two months before painting if you live in a more moderate or wet climate.</p></div>

Q: What makes the Mediterranean style unique?

• <div><p>The Mediterranean style is unique in that it&rsquo;s designed for homes in hotter climates and to maintain a connection with nature. The building materials include stucco siding, clay roofs, and interior tiling with tall ceilings and open floor plans. These all come together to keep the interior cool. The building materials are all natural and tend to have muted earth tones, and the architecture typically allows for easy, open access to the outdoors through large windows and arched doorways. The decor and architecture can range from simple and functional to opulent, depending on the type of Mediterranean home it is.</p></div>

Q: Can stucco be installed over existing siding?

• <div><p>Yes, stucco can be installed over existing siding, but some contractors wouldn&rsquo;t recommend it. Putting stucco over other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-different-house-siding.htm">types of siding</a> requires careful consideration and proper preparation. Stucco is regularly added over brick and wood siding; however, some of the biggest factors affecting stucco installation include the condition of the existing siding and whether it&rsquo;s strong enough to hold the weight of the stucco. If stucco is added to another type of siding, the weight can cause it to crack, making it susceptible to moisture, water damage, and mold.</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."
