Don’t Settle for a “Surface-Level” Stucco Job

Before hiring a stucco contractor based on price alone, ask if they include these 5 Critical Protection Steps.

At AandG Stucco LLC, these are not “extras” — they are our standard.

  • Exterior house stucco repair, wood rot, worker.

1. Moisture Management (The “Anti-Rot” Phase)

Most stucco failures happen because water gets trapped behind the wall.

  • AandG Stucco Standard: We install high-grade weather barriers and integrated flashing around all windows, doors, and rooflines to prevent moisture intrusion.
  • The Cheap Option: Often relies on “caulk only,” which cracks and leaks within 24 months.

2. Proper Curing Time (The “Anti-Crack” Phase)

Stucco is a chemical process. If rushed, it becomes brittle and cracks.

  • AandG Stucco Standard: We respect proper dry time between the scratch, brown, and finish coats to ensure maximum strength and durability.
  • The Cheap Option: Often “wet-sets” layers to finish the job in half the time — leading to spider-web cracks later.

3. Premium Reinforcement

  • AandG Stucco Standard: We use high-tensile, alkaline-resistant fiberglass mesh to reinforce corners and high-stress areas.
  • The Cheap Option: Uses thin, low-grade mesh — or skips reinforcement entirely — to save $500+ in material costs.

4. Site Protection & Cleanliness

Stucco is messy. If it gets on your windows or pavers, it’s permanent.

  • AandG Stucco Standard: We invest time in thorough preparation — masking windows with plastic, covering walkways, and protecting your landscaping.
  • The Cheap Option: Splashes material on window frames and leaves dried cement in your yard.

5. Legal & Liability Safety

  • AandG Stucco Standard: We carry full Liability and Workers’ Compensation insurance. If a worker is injured on your property, we are responsible — not you.
  • The Cheap Option: Often operates uninsured or under the table. If an accident happens, the homeowner’s insurance may be targeted.

The Bottom Line

  • A cheap stucco job may look great for the first six months.
  • An AandG Stucco LLC job looks great for years to come.
