"Gonti painted my house, barn, and chicken house last September. Instead of an instant review, I decided to wait through the fall and winter and see how their painting weathered a couple of rough seasons. Hopefully, this offers the reader a more valuable review. Bottom line, I couldn’t be more delighted. The paint job looks like it did the day they finished, with no peeling or cracks. After receiving three quotes from 5 star rated service providers, I selected Gonti for three reasons: 1. Their reviews were numerous and impeccable. I called 2 of their former customers who praised them profusely and read several other glowing reviews. 2. Clei, the owner, is trustworthy, a man of great integrity. 3. Their quote was the lowest, as Clei had predicted. This team of experienced professionals did everything meticulously, including the hardest part - preparation. Their attention to detail, including the rails on our large deck, was impeccable. Hire these guys!"

"Do not hire these people. We hired them to clean and paint a house which we just purchased. There was a gigantic miscommunication between the work we were told they would do, and then what they actually did. At the first meeting, a very detailed list of everything was taken, and then nothing on this list was done, and we constantly had to remind them of the things they said they would do. For example, we were very clear that we wanted everything removed from the walls throughout the house before painting (a normal thing that should be done before painting), and they agreed, and then halfway through the job they send pictures, and nothing was removed from the walls. This then required them to go back and remove everything, and then touch up every spot they missed, adding several days to the overall job, and resulting in uneven paint spots on all the walls. In addition, they communicated with us that they don’t get paint on things like door hinges and windows and sent us pictures of the prior paint in places were paint shouldn’t be. Yet, when we moved in, they got paint on literally everything in the house. When I saw them painting, they did not use any painters tape or painters’ tarp throughout the whole house. We sill have paint drops on all the floors throughout the house, on the carpet, light fixtures, door knobs, etc. They even painted the windows shut in multiple rooms and painted the bathroom sealing fan shut, when they could have easily dropped the fan, and painted just the ceiling above it. I spent hours removing paint and freeing open the windows. In addition, while we were told they would clean the whole house, top to bottom, whole rooms were not cleaned, as previously agreed upon, and per the contract. In addition, the whole project was estimated to take two weeks, with the understanding that they might need another day or two if necessary. Baring a supposed family emergency, it took them a total of four weeks to complete the project. Twice the length they said it would take. In addition, the quality of work they did was just incredibly poor. With very little attention to detail or care in their work. They said they would spackle all hole and repair things, and this was barely done. The sheet rock they installed doesn’t align with the floor, walls, and electrical outlets. We were also told that they would “take care” of the whole basement, which apparently only meant painting and sheet rock, not replacing the ceiling and carpet, which we were told they would repair for us. Again, a giant miscommunication between what we were told they would do, and what they ended up doing. They also recommended someone to come and replace the baseboard heaters throughout the house. When this person came, he accidentally cut himself while working, and then proceeded to get blood all throughout the house and on the newly painted walls and newly cleaned carpets and floors. It was a complete disaster. They also informed me that this person, who they recommended, has been caught previously drinking alcohol on the job, so why they still recommended this person is beyond me. At the point they were all done, according to what they felt they needed to do, Ed said he’d come back to do a final walk through with us and give us some additional trim which Ed said he’d pick up for us and install. We gave him money for the trim, and then we never heard from him again. He has never responded to us and has since ghosted us. So just to be clear, he stole money from us. In addition, him never returning resulted in him leaving all sorts of supplies, debris, and trash inside and outside of our house, which we needed to clean up. He also left a several hundred-dollar ladder which I guess is ours now? He just left it here and never showed up again. I see some of his replies on this website, and please be aware that he might reply to lie and try to downplay all of this. But this is 100% true and accurate to the level of work that Ed and his team did. Do not work with these company under any circumstances."

Start with a deep clean—most pros use a pressure washer to blast away dust and chalk. Patch cracks with masonry caulk, let them cure, then roll on an acrylic primer. Finish with two coats of high-quality exterior paint using a roller or, better yet, an airless sprayer for even coverage. Skip brushes on broad stucco walls; they’re slow and leave streaks.
Fresh paint seals hairline cracks, boosts UV resistance, and gives curb appeal an instant lift—often a plus when it’s time to sell. The trade-offs? Stucco requires a full cure before painting; the job is labor-intensive, and the wrong coating can trap moisture. Budget accordingly and use paint specifically designed for masonry to avoid peeling later.
When estimating the amount of paint you’ll need for a stucco house, plan on double the paint you’d use for smooth siding. A gallon that covers 400 square feet of flat wall often coats only about 200 square feet of textured stucco, so a 2,000-square-foot exterior may need 10 to 15 gallons.
Painting your stucco wall is a proven alternative to the expense and disruption of re-stuccoing the entire exterior. It refreshes the appearance and protects the surface without the investment of new material. Using high-quality, weather-resistant paint and following correct preparation procedures prevents moisture retention and ensures long-lasting performance. This method offers an efficient means to update your home while maintaining durability.
Rollers work, but an airless sprayer is the gold standard for full exteriors—it gets paint deep into the texture and speeds up the job. Reserve brushes for tight trim only. Whichever tool your exterior painting pro chooses, they’ll keep a wet edge and apply two thin coats for the longest-lasting finish.
