I use the blue bags of stucco at Home Depot they seem to work the best just don’t make it to watery or it won’t hold onto the wall pre wet the wall till almost dry the use a pool float to spread it out no more than a 1/4” at a time hope this help
Hey Chris, great content! I have question, I just started a business of my own, i am professional painter, but sometimes customers ask for other services and this happens to be one of them. How do you give an estimate for these particular projects?
Great question I have just added this stucco to my belt as well once u get hood with it then u can charge accordingly but it’s very time consuming till you learn it. I have always went to home wyse on google punch in your zip code and it will show a list of item like concrete stucco paint drywall and all types of stuff I’m in pensacola florida so depending where u are will definitely depend on price it as a rule of thumb I have always figured out what my daily rate with just me and then a helper and base your prices off of that. We are upwards of 500 a day with a helper for 8 hours and goes up from there. Hopefully that will get you going check into that website really good base prices on there. Thanks for the comment pls subscribe if you haven’t already
@@drive-2786 I do them quite often on the new build houses we do and I have yet to have a issue as long as the brick is semi clean and damp when applied and making it around 3/8 of an inch up to a half inch thick usually works the best.
This looks great! We have white stucco on one half of our foundation and need to do the other half. Where do you find white? Thank you!
Great vid. Hey what did you use ? I am just learning and looking for some advice. Have similar wall to do.
