Get matched with top traditional stucco repair or partially replacers in Cedar Crest, NM

"

after getting a couple of estimates , (all rated super services by Angies list  )  I decided to hire BW Earp  since they where the only one who mention my options to get a smooth seal around my new windows , sure, with additional cost, but  well worth it since I'm planning to keep that house for a long time and like well done work..

The scheduling and execution of the work was done professionally with the best textured finish I have seen on a house.

'The only recommendation I could make to them is to put a little more emphasis on protection the small plants around the walls when applying the stucco.

"My completed two story home that was Project: Install or Completely Replace traditional Stucco to synthetic stucco is BEAUTIFUL. I am so glad I went with this company. The workers showed up on time, they worked, the owner was here a minimum of two-three times a day, and they cleaned up afterwords. Currently my friends are having their home stuccoed by Western Wall Finishes. They just do outstanding work and their follow-up, and follow-through makes all the difference in consumer satisfaction. The final product is the appearance of the home. I am very pleased with the appearance of my home. Again, it is beautiful."

"My home had a previous bad stucco job so it needed repair, re stucco, and re painted. The owner came over and explained the previous stucco problems and what he needed to do to correct it and continue the stucco. A year and half later the stucco is still looking brand new. My neighbors complemented it and another person across the street in another neighborhood drove over to my house and wanted the contact information of this company for his house. A+++ job! My house looks great!"

"I cannot say enough positive things about Sergio Duran and Duran Plastering, Inc.! We recently moved into a stucco house that was built in 1999, and it has a stucco fence surrounding the front courtyard and the backyard area. OVer the years, the stucco had deteriorated, and there were several places on the house that needed repair, and the fence needed extensive repair. I obtained several bids to fix the problems, and Duran Plastering was the best bid; in addition, I had seen the great work that Duran had done on another project in our neighborhood, so I felt confident in selecting them. They repaired the fencing, and then they put a new coat of stucco over every square foot of the fence. Before they began, they dug down to the below ground level until they had access to where the bottom of the fence began. They then pressure-washed the fence and let it dry before applying stucco. They then repaired the bad spots on the house, let the repair sit for a couple of days to dry, and then they stuccoed the repaired areas. They also went on top of our house and repaired and restuccoed the many cracks we had in our parapets. The stucco color they used matched the existing stucco perfectly! The fence and the house look wonderful! The crew spent a substantial amount of time cleaning up after they finished the stuccoing, and they put everything back where it was before--which was a very big task! The crew that Duran uses is great! The guys are courteous, pleasant, and seek to please. They also went over and beyond to ensure that we were satisfied with the project. On top of everything else, there is a 5.5 year warranty on the project; thus, if there are cracks or bad places that surface, they will fix them without additional cost during that time period. I accepted their bid on a Monday about midday, and they started the project the next morning! They worked their tails off and finished by the end of the week, even though there was a day they couldn't work due to bad weather. In addition to Sergio and his crew being top-flight, Cristal, Sergio's wife and office manager, kept me apprised of their schedule and answered questions I had of her. She was great, too! Duran Plastering has my highest recommendation! I guarantee that they will do a superb job for you!!"

"Humberto and his Crew worked in a very detailed manner and did a great stucco repair at/ around a 2nd srory window west facing wall. They went the extra mile to accomplish what I asked for."

"Hector came and gave us a reasonable quote to repair our stucco. We hired him and scheduled the work. About a week later they called and said they had two guys available to come right away. The workers showed up and did a pretty good job. There were a couple missed spots, but overall we are happy with the work provided, and the time it took to schedule. We will hire them again if we need more repairs."

"Elevate Builders did a great job on stucco repair on some exterior walls of our home and garage. They did a wonderful job, matching colors and textures exactly. They’re very professional about communication and scheduling, and I strongly recommend them."

"Bob Reule and his staff worked with me throughout the entire process, While I knew that the house needed new stucco and the color needed updating I was not certain of much else.  Bob and Jay, one of his staff, were extremely helpful and patient in helping me with color choices for the stucco and the trim.  As so often happens with older homes, as they progressed with the prep work, it became apparent that some other things also needed attention.  I ended up replacing three exterior doors in the back of the house prior to the re-stuccoing. As a result, the Reule staff had to coordinate their work with additional workmen. It required adjustments in scheduling, but they were very cooperative in doing so. Reule did the re-framing and installation of a new side side door in the garage, replacing an old weathered door.
A large bush had caused a great deal of damage to a yard wall. This caused misalignment of the side-gate and made securing of the gate difficult. Once the bush was removed, the men repaired the side wall and realigned the gate. The yard walls, bordering the front yard, were waist high and stucco. Due to time and weathering the stucco was in need of some cosmetic work.  Minor repairs were done, the stucco was patched and color match the house.
A stucco half wall, serving as a base for a long flower box, extended from a structural pillar near the front door along the entryway walk.  It had severe water damage and "imploded" down into the base. It was decided to remove that structure up to the pillar.
The structural pillar was just a few feet from the front door and had an open level portion under the eve.  Pigeons had begun to roost there and were making a mess.  After discussing the problem with the workmen, it was decided to extend the stucco up an additional few inches and eliminating the perching area. Problem solved (so far!).
The paint mixture designed to match the stucco color, turned out to not be an exact match for the garage doors and the trim around them.  It took a few attempts, but Jay kept working with it and was able to come up with a paint "recipe" that matched the stucco.
Jay and the workmen were always on time, did what they said that they would do (sometimes more) when they said they would do it, stayed on schedule, were courteous, easy to work with and very helpful. Bob stopped by intermittently to see how things were going, and was kept updated through Jay, as well. 
While this ended up as a much bigger undertaking than I had initially anticipated, everything that was done was long overdue and with an eye on resale one day. Everyone I dealt with at Ruele Sun Corp was incredibly helpful. Bob and Jay were a terrific help throughout the process.I love how my house now  looks and would readily recommend Ruele Sun Corp for re-stuccoing.

"I apologize in advance for the long comment.  I?ll do my best to impartially lay out the facts of what happened on this contract so that the reader can make their own judgement.
 
I initially contacted 5 contractors to get bids on re-stucco for my house.  The house is large, almost 5000 square feet plus it is surrounded on 2 sides by a stucco wall enclosing the swimming pool and adjoining patios.   There are also over 150 windows of various sizes throughout the house. We chose BlueSky for several reasons: 1. Many positive Angie?s List recommendations.  2.  Price was in the lower half of the bids received.  3.  Mr. Esparza seemed genuinely interested in ensuring our requirements were met.  We were told that there would always be a supervisor on site and that Mr. Esparza himself would usually stop by once or twice per day to address any concerns.  He assured us that they would clean up after themselves every day after work so that there would be no garbage blowing around the neighborhood.  We were told that the job would take 8 days.  We increased that in our minds to 10 because we thought 8 overly optimistic.  We told Mr. Esparza that we like to be involved in the work that is done at our house and he encouraged that.  He told us that since we know the house better than anyone else we should point out any discrepancies.  We signed a contract and work was to begin immediately.
At this point I?ll say that as a rule we treat the folks who work on our house very well.  We often order lunch for them.  My wife will bring them snacks, coffee in the morning, ice water and sometimes even cook them lunch.  The workers had no safety equipment and at one point we noticed that they were applying stucco to the underside of a column and stucco was falling into their eyes.  My wife supplied them safety glasses.  We are also demanding of good work and will point out things that are wrong as soon as we see them so that they can be fixed immediately.  We have dealt with numerous contractors this way and have never had a problem.    In this case, unlike what was promised, there really was no supervisor on site and we only saw Mr. Esparza twice after work started.  At one point we were unable to contact him for 3 days.  He later apologized and claimed he had a family emergency in Mexico.  We were understanding although I think that maybe a text or email to his clients would have been appropriate.
The workers did a great job of sealing all the cracks and rebuilding the parapets.  There were some areas of concern including a column that had to be adjusted 3 times because it was crooked.  No problem, we dealt with the 1 or 2 English speaking members of the crew and got it taken care of.  Garbage was not completely cleaned up at the end of each day, my wife and I walked around the property picking up little pieces of blue tape flying around without complaint. I believe proper supervision would have been helpful here. Part of the contract was to dig down 4 to 6 inches around all of the walls, I think this is common practice based on many of the bids I received.  In a number of areas this was not done, I pointed out areas that I saw to the workers and they took care of them.  There are still, however, several areas that have been missed.  Again, proper supervision would have been helpful.  I thought that overall the stucco work on the house went very well.  My wife and I were happy with the work that was done and we thought that the remaining concerns would be taken care of after a walk- through with Mr. Esparza.  This is the point where things start to get a little strange.
 
On the final day of work (Day 16, a bit longer than the 8 day estimate) I received a ranting call from Mr. Esparza.  He was on a cell phone and was yelling and talking so fast that I could not understand a word he was saying.  I asked him to calm down, told him that I could not understand him and he finally told me that he would call me back on a land line.  When he finally called me he was livid.  He asked me for money immediately, prior to the walk-through, to pay his workers.  He told me that my wife had mistreated his workers and caused 3 of his best workers to quit, he made disparaging (I won?t elaborate any further) comments about her ability to speak proper English (She is Asian, has a degree from an American university, and speaks English well although with an accent), he accused her of following the workers around and watching them so closely that it made them uncomfortable and that she disturbed their lunch.  I tried to have a conversation with him but he hung up on me.    I was quite taken aback by what I can only describe as a tirade.   I responded to him with a text message letting him know that I would be happy to pay in 2 installments, explaining that I have heard no complaints from him until now, and finished with the following statement ?We are very happy with your workers.  I have never EVER been spoken to as unprofessionally by a business owner as I have been by you and am very disappointed?
A couple of hours later Mr. Esparza stormed onto our property after refusing to acknowledge my wife and I,  even after my wife greeted him.  He climbed onto the roof, walked around the house, glared threateningly, gave some orders to his workers, walked to his car and left.  Later a worker handed me a piece of paper requesting $10,000 in 2 checks.  I was confused about exactly what he wanted so I gave the worker $5000 in one check, unsuccessfully attempted to call Mr. Esparza, and sent him on his way.  Mr. Esparza called back a short time later and still seemed quite upset.  I had a difficult time understanding him but he explained that the job was done well (with a few exceptions, this is something I agree with), that he had to fire 3 workers because they refused to come to our house (a change from his original assertion that they quit)  and that he made me a fair offer but that I had only paid $5000 and that we were in the wrong for not paying him $10,000.  I believe he wanted to go to arbitration which is really not necessary since we were not completely unhappy with the finished product so I wrote another check for $5000 and he sent his worker back to collect it.  At this point I have paid him all but $4,149 which should be paid after a final walk through and any corrections.  My dilemma is that my wife is uncomfortable to the point of being fearful of having him on our property, and I really have to agree with her.   I can probably pretty much forget about the warranty, if for no other reason than I don?t want to deal with him again.  At this moment he has sent me a message forgiving the money not paid and essentially calling me a deadbeat, which I am not.  I will probably hire someone else to do the touch up work, subtract from the total, and send him the rest.  I spent 28 years honorably serving our country in the military and I always pay my bills.  I just cannot tolerate his behavior.
Now for my thoughts.  I am really conflicted about this.  Until a few hours prior to project completion I was ready to give Blusky an A rating and was even going to recommend them to several people I know who need stucco work.  The work appears to be done properly with a few exceptions and thanks to our involvement, pretty much the way we wanted it done.  I was home the entire final week of the construction and neither my wife nor I was ?Big Brother?, although we did inspect the work and ensured things were being completed to our satisfaction.  Often the workers would ask us to look around to see if we found anything that needed attending to.  On the other hand, I have never dealt with a business owner who has berated me and acted as unprofessionally as this.   I believe"

"Just Stucco and Windows, LLC re-stuccoed our home, attached garage, and block walls recently with a traditional stucco coating. Our home had stucco issues as the stucco had been painted by the previous owner at one point many years previously and then when an addition was added prior to our buying the home - the painted surface was thinly stuccoed over. As a result, in some areas, large pieces of stucco were falling off the walls where gaps had developed between the painted stucco surface and added stucco wall coating on the older portions of the home. Just Stucco and Windows, LLC using a pressure wash and scrapping removed the loose stucco material. A mesh fabric material was installed on all surfaces and then stuccoed with El Rey stucco. The El Rey stucco material is a superior product that has been improved upon over the years. The company representative, James, explained the process completely and answered all our questions. We also had James replace 2 small West facing windows on our garage. The dual glazed windows were a big improvement over the previous single glazed windows we had. We received several estimates for the project and Just Stucco and Windows, LLC did the job at a reasonable price and completed the job as scheduled. Their warranty was easy to understand. The stucco crew worked quickly and and the result was excellent; however, the crew needs to provide a more thorough debris clean up when the job is completed. I highly recommend Just Stucco and Windows, LLC."
