Great Job!         Dave Brillhart -Waterford Lakes I'd like to thank Tony and his crew at Stucco RX for the high quality workmanship they performed and professional attitude they had as they restored my home's stucco problems. I have a two story Engle home built in the year 2000. The first floor is stucco over concrete block and the stucco is simply cosmetic. However, the second floor is wood frame, in which the stucco is more critical to the home's structural integrity. The original stucco was applied way too thin, which resulted in some hairline cracks over time. I let those go too long and wind driven rain water apparently made its way to the underlying metal lathe (resulting in some rust) and to the plywood sheathing (causing some rot). The stucco started to sag and buckle in places. I had to paint my house and first I needed to get the stucco repaired. Tony and team cut open the area. They found the problem was more extensive than was visible from the surface cracking. They explained the work that was required and provided a detailed quote. I was home during the entire 3 day process. They replaced the plywood sheathing in areas where that was needed. Where possible, they saved the sheathing and replaced the lathe. Once that was done, they applied stucco to the repaired areas. I had actually received a quote from SSCI (a competitor). They wanted more money to do that work. However, Stucco RX not only did that work for less, they also did a LOT more (included in the price): They walked the entire surface of my home and found every little area where some rust was leaching thru to the surface. They ground out the rust and applied a rust block coating. They looked for any imperfections, such as where our dead bolt lock knocked out a chunk of stucco by the front door. They applied stucco to fix those kinds of small cosmetic problems. They found all the hairline cracks around the house, routed them out, and filled them with stucco material. This is a better and more permanent fix than simply squeezing some caulk into the cracks. SSCI said: "let the painters do that". I had drilled holes into the stucco window boarders to hold shutters during the hurricanes several years ago. They went around and filled in all those holes with stucco. They also saw that I had a small area of rot in a fascia board, and they fixed it with all-purpose Bondo. Finally, to address the thin stucco walls, they suggested that they shore up the entire wall with an additional coat of stucco to the thickness Engle should have applied back in 2000. They used Tapcon screws to ensure the thin stucco was firmly attached to the studs, applied a strong adhesive to the existing stucco, and layered on a new coat of stucco. Then sprayed on a sealant. Bottom line, after Stucco RX left, my house was actually better than new. The entire house surface is prepared for painting. Their price was better than the competition, and they did a lot more work. I highly recommend Stucco RX to anyone who requires stucco repair work. They may use my as a reference. -- Dave Brillhart,Waterford Lakes
