Howdy folks, we're explaining how to repair your cement concrete foundation and existing stucco after installing new pavers or concrete in your driveway.
Note that you can use a strong cement plaster for everything; however, there are PSI strength differences between cement mortars and stucco.
FYI, We used the "Cement-All," for the corner and the "Stucco patch," for the stucco patch.
Both of these products are sold at Home Depot and Lowes.
FYI, What is stucco? It's usually Portland cement mixed with sand. Whats Concrete? It's usually Portland cement mixed with rocks. What's Cement? Cement is the binder, or you can call it an "adhesive or additive" that binds the materials. Just saying.
If you want fast-setting stucco, buy "Rapid Set Stucco" at Lowe's or Home Depot. It has 16/20 sand or what is known as heavy sand.
If you want fast-setting stucco with finer sand, I'd recommend Super High Yield Mortar, "Greencore USA," also sold at Home Depot.
In the two videos below, we are using finer sand or aggregate.

Good morning, Max a Million Dude, you are to kind my brother, thank you.💃🏻🕺🏽
❤
Such a watchable guy
I know seriously, I don't do plaster and I have no immediate plans to do so, but I'll watch every video Kirk puts out. Awesome dude.
He’s hilarious too!
And we have our own Kirk with On the Trowel. Would love the two Kirks to do a video together! 🤣
What up big macs. Us Irish regonise the real. Kirk is certainly that.
@@MrChazzahc he's a good guy 100%
@@macplastering any work floating about up the north with a good sum to summarise my summarised sword, weapon of choice it's a preference
Kirk, you're a national treasure brother. Please never change!
Howdy Silvers Dude, man, that comments working, thank you. 😉
Kirk what are your knees made out of that you can knee walk back and forth on pavers like that?
Howdy honk Dude, this is going to sound crazy, but the act of walking around on concrete on my knees has always felt excellent. I mean I love the feeling, I must have extra pads on my bony knees. Things that make you go hmmmmm.👨🏻🔬
Love your videos. Thanks for willingly sharing your knowledge
Morning, Tools for review, man, we have more fun making these than actually doing the so-called work, Cheers. 💃🏻
I love that you have such a strong bond as a family. We need more of that in our society right now..thanks for sharing your knowledge
Absolutely, they say the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. 👨🏫
It all starts with a strong bonding agent; they must be using Weld-Crete.
You’re hilarious Kirk. And beautiful job. Nice to see a master at work!
Cheers from UK 👍🏼
Howdy Astute Dude from the UK, thank you, It's just another day at the office.🍻
Love the video as always. That Cement All stuff is super strong, also the other thing about it is it has way better adhesion to the old concrete than other mixes or products. The old concrete will break and deteriorate before your patch ever does! Also, really smart on preaching how important the prep is, like the nice pressure washing you did. No product will ever work without that level of prep and so few people realize that.
Exzackory, prep is king. 🕺🏽
You are one old school mofo that I love to watch. Sad fact is that there is no one coming behind you Mr. Kirk to take over the trade. Love your attitude and your videos my friend!
Morning Vernon Dude, contraire mon friar, my three sons, Jason, Carl and Dan are all stucco men too.👨🏫
I watch these videos like I have for the last 10 years because I know what to expect. Entertaining and quality professional results.
Howdy Fee Dude, man, that comment just made you my newest and bestest pal; thank you. 🕺🏽
Master at work! I’ve been watching for years. Your videos helped me build a mailbox years ago. Many thanks!!!!
Kirk’s videos taught me that the stucco guy I hired is a moron. Thanks, Kirk!
Hello my friends, you're too kind, thank you.👨🏻🔬
This work it is extremely hard you’re making it look easy👍
@@Italiaasicily correctamundo, but we are experienced.😉
At first I thought you were laying down on the job but I knew better! Thanks for teaching me how to apply plaster/stucco.
Howdy Friend, i thought I might as well get dirty as all this simple stuff was at ground level anyway.😉
Wassup with that foundation, in a lil bit of time it's gonna crack...
Howdy Mike, how much dough you want to lose? I got a twenty dollars gold piece I'd wager against your opinion.🤔
You're a bad ass in your trade no doubt 👍👍🙏
Howdy Hybrid Dude, it's all practice with knowing if it's not done right I got to go back and make it right. Been there it's kinda a drag when that happens.🕺🏽
My whole house could benefit from every one of your videos!
@@johnkim1043 Evening John, lol
What bonding agent do you use?
Weld-Crete, but Quikrerte is just as good.🕵🏼
It's always better to overdo it than under do it
Correctomundo. Like always leaving a job cleaner that we found it.
Hey Kirk, quick question. How would you go about retrofitting existing exterior stucco walls, as far as adding weep screeds on a 100+ year old home? Is it even possible?
Howdy, of course it's possible, in fact on our homepage on our stuccoplastering.com website, that just what the homeowner did and all by himself. ua-cam.com/video/EsQn69lFt44/v-deo.html/👨🏻🔬
I'm still watching the videos from 10 years ago. Trying to catch up. Looking good kirk!
Howdy Frequency Dude, man, you have to have a beat up stucco house to go there. Thank you.🍺
Awesome, educational and entertaining. I recently built a shed and am planning to stucco it! Got to experience this and see if I can do it!
Howdy Rob Dude, it does like everything else in life take some practice.
From past years, the ladies out number the men who have responded and said they did it with ease and almost at a professional level. I'm just saying.💃🏻
@@StuccoPlastering oh now I'm gonna have to try to level that out a bit! Maybe I can make a video?
I hope you stayed too long on sun? , thanks
Man, the sun no matter how hot, makes love to me, If I had my choice I prefer 80 to 100 degrees year round even at night and in the winter.☀️
Enjoy watching your videos, appreciate you guys!
Howdy numbers dude, thank you.👨🏻🔬
Really enjoy your channel guys. I'm not in the trade but I appreciate your expertise and ability. All the best from Huntington Beach, CA!

Great videos thanks guys.
Howdy Zink Dude, thank you.🕺🏽
You covered 2 out of 3 of my favorites: “aggregate” and “Kirk’s the best”. The only thing missing was “Looouuu”!
Howdy Andrew dude, This was too simple for more than two guys, besides Lou was gearing up for his favorite holiday, Cinco de Mayo and drinking with his buddies. ua-cam.com/video/xQWwzyVyeyw/v-deo.html/💃🏻🕺🏽
I know you love a good joke.
Had a customer ask me how my competitors brick work looked, I told them that there’s always one thing you can do if you don’t like it and that is…you can always plaster it. Lol
That’s a fact.lol
Nicely done repair. 👍
That home owner must be blind or oblivious since he never noticed his neighbors absolutely horrendous stucco repair at eye level. 🤣 If the home owner didn't do a DYI they must have hired Stevie Wonder.
LOL, I find most folks don't notice bad patch work unless it's on their home.
Me I notice all patchwork, even my own.💃🏻
Hi kirk great videos as normal love to watch fellow plasterer from uk
Morning Darren Cliff, my fellow plasterer from the UK, Nice to hear this especially from a fellow tradesman, thank you.🍻
Doing "kirks the best" in the mud is definitely a thing now
You should make a shirt of it
@@ramonmolina8070that's a great idea! We will have to make one. Thanks
Indeed it is as it lets people understand the consistency of the mud.
Kirk, you’re making my knees hurt watching you without knee pads 😳
@@mikejustice1196 apologies,😉
What bonding agent did you use please?
Pink weld-Crete?
@@mikejustice1196 Pink is for interiors, the blue, Weld-Crete is for exterior bonding.

Cement All is my go to for hard and fast
@@dog_biter Evening Biter Dog, that comment although said is true, but made me think of Viagra. Maybe they should sell the stuff in blue boxes with that title? I’m just talking. 😉🕺🏼
@@StuccoPlastering 💫
Hey hey guys!!!! Hope 2023 is treating you all perfectly thanks again for all the vids
Howdy Tror, thank you, it's been kinda cold and rainy, not to my liking, but have seen worse weather, of course I was in Alaska in the winter time. ☀
Kirk that cement all is 9000 psi after 28 days. It's rediculously strong. They also claim that the hydraulic cements like rapid set actually form hooks that bite into existing concrete. Amazing stuff
Compressive strength isn't problem in concrete either it's tensile strength what should be good and even that rapid set has a much lower tensile strength. Because if there is moisture in concrete or in that patch and it gets frozen ice that forms tries to push everything apart and then it's all about tensile strength.
@@mr.wizeguy8995 yeah we all know that about cement/mortar/concrete
Howdy Finders Keepers Dude, Yea, I't crazy strong stuff. I always tease my girl and ask, what's the difference between stucco and concrete? She's close to remembering, Concrete is portland cement mixed with rocks and Stucco is Portland cement mixed with..... Sand.
I say this after she asks me, what a SME? I finally remember as this game has been going on for awhile. Anyone know what an SME is?💃🏻
Love your vids. “SME” is what you are in your field/trade of stuccoing and other masonry work. It’s subject matter expert.
@@StuccoPlastering You got it goin on Kurt. Tight family, good reputation, what more could/should a man want?
Great video, Mr. Giordano saludos 👍👍
Thank you William.🍻
Good stuff guys.
thank you, my friend.👨🏻🔬
Hey Kirk 👋 hope all is well my friend .
Good morning Steve, all's still good, hanging in there like a, "sock in a dryer."🕺🏽
Great job Kirk, tidy and neat, that’s like Irish weather at moment👍🇮🇪
Howdy Colmart, man, if I could work and live in 90 degree weather all the time, I would be a happier person. I'm tired of all the rain.☀️
@@StuccoPlastering me to Kirk!, got soaked cutting the grass today!🌦️
I like that you show exactly which products you are using.
Howdy Young/old Geyser, were learning to do this as like that old magazine called, the Enquire used to say, people want to know.👨🏻🔬
You're the man bud
Thank you, brother.🍻
Good to see you in action....very good video to learn 👌
Hey Salvador, thank you, my friend.👨🎓
I love stucco
Howdy Joy Dude, and here I thought I was weird or different, just cause I prefer to apply stucco than to hang out with my buddies and drink beer. That is to say unless on a beach watching women walking around wearing something close to nothing, then the rules change.💃🏻 Here's a picture of my baby.
Nice video.....Strange post processing artifacts keep showing up????
Howdy, sorry, I've no clue as to what folks see when this video is clicked on; I'm just a stucco dude.👨🏻🔬
Kirk you the best
Howdy Joey, man, that's a catchy quote. thank you.👨🎓
Please get Kirk a better microphone. So informative, so likeable, and a great affect in his voice. A better microphone will make the videos so much better.
I’ll let Jay know, thank for the tip
thank you
Howdy Michael dude, no problemo.🕺🏽
Fuking awesome
Easy big daddy, this is a rated G channel.😉
You have knees of steel brother!!!
I’m 60 and have been in construction all my life. My knees are destroyed from this type of work and tiles!!!
Evening Tony, sorry, my brother, I've no idea why walking on my knees feels good. 👨🏻🔬
Nice 👍
Thank you, brother.🤙
CementAll you can paint in 1 hour because it hits 3000 PSI in 1 hour
Excellent Tip.
Wow Kirk, where did you buy your mud scoops?
I have been looking for those for years.
@@mikejustice1196 Google, Plastering yards near me. Or buy at Bontool.com. Cheers
@@StuccoPlastering thank you I appreciate it
Always a pleasure to watch you Kurt. You're the BEST!
Howdy Dash Dude, Man, now that's a catchy phase.💃🏻
Hey Kirk, I have concrete ceiling in the basement. With through cracks causing leaks from ground surface to the basement . What is a good way to seal the cracks from the bottom and top and finish the concrete .
Good morning, are you referring to a quality caulking for the cracks? If so I'd recommend sikaflex 1A as it's an adhesive sealant. It should only be applied to a surface clean enough to eat off, or it won't adhere. Nothing adheres to. dirty or. dusty surfaces, except spider webs.
To refinish concrete, Id recomend Poly-Bond, but it's a cementitious adhesive cement only found at Plastering yards. Plusoly-Bond involves slacking which most may not understand how to use. Thus for a more user friendly concrete finish can be found at HD and Lowes stores.
Kirk, Jay, I love you guys. Pleas find the mic you used back in 2012, it was better.
Howdy Self dude, that I would have to ask Jay, my son, about; I just do the easy stuff and apply stucco. 💃
Kirk!
Hey Jay,🕵🏼
Kirk is the GOAT
Howdy Wall Climber, man, that comments just working, thank you.🐐
Thanks Kirk good tutorial, just look like mike haddock from Pensilvania!🙏
Howdy Juan, I here Mike from Pennsylvania is the real deal. The goat,🐐
"Your the Man Kirk"! But I cannot understand why don't you wear Knee Pads? If you have a magic trick to avoid the leg pain, please share!
Hi Symkay Dude, I just posted this same reply. This may sound wierd, but the act of walking around on concrete on my knees has always felt excellent. I mean I love the feeling, I must have extra pads on my bony knees. Things that make you go hmmmmm.👨🏻🔬
Kirk can I use cCement all for my stucco repair and finish? Would you compair cement all to stucco 20/30
Yes, however Cement all, hardens in about ten minutes and is harder than concrete.🕵🏼
Awwwww we would love to see your only fans page haha , kidding aside, thanks for the videos. I couldn’t find my original comment . Did you delete it? Lol
LOL, my friend.💃
I didn't thing you could use gas powered tools in California anymore?
We used some electric tools for this repair but our other tools such as our trucks does indeed require gas. 👩
Great to see you back, and the family. Is your wife in the pic? I’ve not watched in a while, sorry.
Howdy Douglass,LOL, do we know each other? As I'm a gentleman, let's call my ex Rosanna, Eileen, Allison and dimples.
Now listen to this song.
ua-cam.com/video/gAzcHe8K8G4/v-deo.html/ 😏
My new woman's name is Judy, and she's wonderful.
Once bought some cement all fire some windows, bad idea . Stuf was setting in 5 minutes on a real hot day . Guess what I don't buy anymore. Lol
Guard Duck Dude, man, the faster it sets the more I like it, as it adds some excitement to the hustling.👨🏻🔬
Are there any negatives to putting stucco over a concrete foundation wall?
Not that I’m aware of.
I glad someone else knows how to spell Kirk. 😂. When you say bonding agent, do you mean you add it to your mix or brush it on before?
Howdy we always paint or brush it on a super clean surface. Sika, does make admixture that is added to grout, so it is a bit confusing. With stucco always apply a bonding agent to its surface.👨🏻🔬
How do you like the milwaukee cordless SDS? Good as corded bulldog?
Love it, we have the entire set.
❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Howdy Dowell dude, thank you.💃🏻
Does this guy sell products at a fair booth? Sounds like he would fit right in.
Howdy, I do indeed sell plumbing toilet waxes, make sure your don't leak.👷🏽♂️
Cement can be tricky sometimes. It must be hydrated so not to dry too fast. It will get hot and crack if not hit with water until cool to touch.
Excellent advice from no doubt a pro, thank you.👨🏻🔬
Kirk what’s the secret to getting stucco to stick on a ceiling?
@@johnbordeau3500 Good afternoon John, excellent question, mix the stucco with half the sand, voila, sticky mud. Too much sand it won’t defy gravity. 🕵🏼♀️
Is a coarse rubber float best for floating out a substrate for a dash finish?
The rubber floats compact the stucco, the sponge floats bring out the sand which make dashing much easier
Hey Kirk. Do you do any work on the peninsula? I need what you did in this video!
It depends on many things, send os a picture of what you have and what you want done. Cheers our contact info is in the description.Cheers.
This guy reminds me of the contractor in the movie Are We Done Yet?
Hey Josh, LOL,👷🏽♂️
Mecanismos yes blue moon ? That is the midwest.??
This home is in Oakland ca. But I do happen to drink Blue Moon beers and every other beer. 🍻
I tried doing this and realized that you need strong arms as well as right tools.
Howdy Popcorn, you don't have to be strong, but proper trowels are half the battle.
So Kirk, want to come up to Alaska and do some work))))
Howdy Andy Dude, no way, too cold in Alaska for my cold sensitive wuss ass. Now if you was in Arizona, I'd think about it.☀️
I sure appreciate your channel. 👍

How come there’s no weep screed there?
The house was pre-1980 when weep screeds were invented and then became code. Thus all homes before this new weep or drip screed do indeed go down over the concrete foundation and touch the ground, Yes, even a home I owned had no screed. this was normal.
Great personality!
@@successfulMillennial thank you. 😉
Captin Kirk, I probably watched this video 10x. Everytime it pops on my feed I watch it. After years of watching and learning from you, and I see someone else do a stucco video, its easier to see where their mistakes will happen. Thank you sir and Jason! I really dig you guys peacefulness working together.
Howdy Marc, man that comment is working, thank you. Jay and I realize anything we do wrong anytime, anywhere we have to repair at no cost. That’s the beginning of true stucco wisdom. I’ve been doing this stuff for 40 years, the first 20 I had a crew of 12 guys, you learn a lot when watching and working with a good team.
What stucco are you using?
Really? We used the "Cement-All," for the corner and the "Stucco patch," for the stucco patch.
Both of these products are sold at Home Depot and Lowes.😉
Cool video well done & explained.
Glad you liked it!👨🏻🏫
Love cementall, awesome product. I've put a layer of cementall over some ugly stepping stones. Painted with acrylic pool deck paint, solid, no cracks. It will have to be painted every year.
It is some incredibly strong cement.
Reminds me of the sctv skit where he plays perry como.
I’m not aware of that skit?
