"We were looking to increase our attic insulation and met The Home Doctor Company at the Capital Remodel and Garden Show in February 2025 as well as some other companies. We consulted with several companies and decided to go with The Hone Doctor for our attic insulation. The company rep, Chris Lear, was very good explaining what they would do and why our attic needed R-38 insulation. I knew we needed more but did not realize our attic was only R-13. I have worked with numerous contractors before on projects and felt this was a really good company plus they have great reviews. The installation of the attic insulation went very well. They do install siding as well but decided to put this project off for now. Would highly recommend this company."

"I have a very complicated slate roof, with a turret, dormers, and many converging rooflines. I had missing slate, a major water leak, 3 fireplaces that required repointing, and a flat garage roof (not slate) that was cracked, unbeknownst to me. Louise August Home Improvements started the work immediately, advised on the additional requirements (fireplace repointing) and the garage roof. They were professional, thorough, worked efficiently and expeditiously, and were kind, thoughtful, and kept me informed throughout the project. I don't usually become fond of those individuals working on my house, but I have to say the Louise August company/family business is wonderful, and I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

"Spent ~$50,000 on a new roof with them. Thought everything went well. Years later discovered that they had not sealed the cricket on the chimney well enough. Discovered water coming in and eventually rotting the wallboard, studs, etc. Had to replace entire wall. Called them about the issue, they sent a rep. He said it was the chimney's fault, it was leaking. Not so, opened the wall and ceiling and had another roofer come spray water on the chimney, nothing, no leak. Then sprayed water on the cricket, water came in. Exterior Medics would not admit any fault. Had it repaired, no leak, no problem since then. Had recommended to a friend, never gain, he also had a bad experience. DO NOT USE IF YOU WANT QUALITY WORK AND A COMPANY HAT STANDS BEHIND THEIR WORK."

The cost of Dryvit stucco varies depending on factors such as the size of your home, its design complexity, and the chosen finish options. Your stucco contractor can provide a precise quote based on the specifics and complexity of your project. Professional installation is crucial for maximizing the performance and ensuring the lasting durability of your stucco siding.
Maintaining your stucco is easy with a few simple steps. Periodically wash it with a garden hose, avoiding high-powered pressure washers that could damage the finish. Start from the bottom and spray upward, then rinse back down. Don't forget to regularly inspect your stucco for cracks or holes and repair them promptly to maintain its appearance.
The primary difference between stucco and parging lies in their purpose and application. Stucco is a full exterior wall finish that provides aesthetic appeal and insulation for your home. Parging, on the other hand, is a protective coating applied to foundations and lower walls to prevent moisture and pest infiltration. While parging focuses on structural protection, stucco offers a decorative and durable finish for entire walls.
Common issues with stucco include water absorption, which can lead to efflorescence— a white, powdery substance — cracking, and occasionally mold or stains in damp conditions. These problems often result from environmental factors or installation errors. Regular inspections and timely repairs can help keep your stucco in top shape and prevent costly damage.
The best type of stucco for extreme weather conditions is synthetic stucco. It offers enhanced durability and resistance to rapid temperature changes and extreme conditions. Synthetic stucco performs well in harsh climates, minimizing the risks of cracking and moisture penetration to ensure your home stays protected even in severe environmental conditions.
In addition to stucco, there are several alternative siding options to consider. These include metal, wood, brick, stone veneer, vinyl, and fiber cement siding. Each comes with unique benefits. For example, vinyl is cost-effective and low-maintenance, while wood provides a natural aesthetic. The best choice depends on your design preferences, durability needs, and maintenance considerations.
