"After paying my deposit to have just THREE columns in front of my house scraped free of the crumbling paint and repainted, this company completely ghosted me. No follow-up calls, no updates—nothing. I had to chase them down multiple times just to find out when they’d even start the job. At the consultation, I was told the project would begin in about a week. A MONTH later—with ZERO communication— I had to contact the company directly.. again.. to get an actual start date. With the start date locked in finally, I get a call at 4PM the day before, telling me they don't have what they need to match the original paint… despite me providing samples AND offering the original paint bucket with all details. I'm not sure why that wasn't mentioned in the MONTH I waited for the start date, and I'm not a paint professional, but I assume a reputable painting company should be able to figure out how to match paint, especially when the customer has the original paint bucket? Then, on the start date... the technician shows up 50 minutes late, BARELY scrapes off the old, crumbling paint, and just slaps a fresh coat on top. Total amateur hour. I actually feel sick to my stomach that this is what I'm paying almost $600 for. When I voiced my concerns to management, all I got were multiple hollow apologies and no real solutions for such armature work. Bottom line: If you want to overpay for subpar work, endless delays, and to act as your own project manager, this is the company for you."

"I was so smart to try Angi/get multiple quotes/trust in the Martinez teams' multiple glowing reviews. I was reeling from a botched DIY attempt and they literally swooped in to save the day in the most amazing way. There was not a datapoint I wouldn't 5-star them on: athey came in under competitors on the first quote, they made the paint run for me (instantly knew my builder color on sight or by record and provided me the name) to do the room and have enough for me to putter around addressing dings. They were available so quick for my tiny job and showed up Exactly on time at my door. They went above and beyond in ways both pointed out and left for me to notice and I'd detail it except I'd never want to make what was clearly a courtesy be something to be assumed as standard. In short and with no exxaggeration: Team Martinez did an imbeccable job acheiving heroic results for this customer and I won't hesitate to recommend them to friends and neighbors"

"The work progressed on time by two excellent associates who were very capable in painting, but also in hanging patio doors. Their painting job was done very meticulously and the house looks clean and great! Giorgio also arranged for a plumbing contractor to replace leaky faucets to facilitate power-washing the walls outsi before painting. I feel that I got good value for the money."

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.
