Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you do interior plaster work as well as exterior?

Q: My house has a lot of cracks and scratches. Can you repair that?
A: "Yes. We can cover the cracks with a fiberglass mesh to prevent recurrence and then place a finish coat of stucco on top of that. It will be extremely durable, and if we use a color finish, you won’t need to paint it again."
Q: Which is better, color stucco finish or paint?
