Folks, for immediate bids, send pictures to Jason or me.

My other two sons, Carl and Dan, are located in Sonora, CA.
They both understand stucco and most carpentry. Both are young, strong, ambitious, and have integrity instilled into them by a father with morals.
Call them for your stucco or plastering needs in that area.

We make these videos to show those who may want to hire us that we do know what we are doing, so much so that we can be transparent in the applications via YouTube. Thus, all can depend on us for sound advice and workmanship.

We were using regular Portland stucco mixed with three times the sand per every one part of the stucco. For example, for every one hundred pounds of cement stucco, 300 pounds of sand are added to the mix.
Or, for smaller jobs, buy "Rapid Set Stucco" from Home Depot or Lowes. It comes in ten or 25-pound boxes or 90-pound bags.
It has the sand already in the box or bag. You add water and apply.
It's very user-friendly and super strong. Read the label, as you don’t want to over-mix or play too much with it when applying.

Thanks for watching.

My man is wearing a button down shirt doing stucco and comes out clean when he’s done. Absolutely amazing. You’re watching a Master at work

I don't know youtube put me here, but this man is a gem.

[MrMeattball]

YouTube only recommends this kind of stuff when I’m completely stoned, and I couldn’t be happier.

[carloscolon]

Not a painter. don’t want to paint. Not interested in ever painting - but I couldn’t stop watching. He seems to be a master of his craft and has a lot of earned knowledge he is just giving away here. What a solid dude.

You know a person loves their job, when they talk to it like if it was their gran-kid

Grandfather was an old school Italian plasterer. He had a big brush like that. I still have his tools. I had no idea what the big brush was for. He refused to teach me the trade but put me through school with his trowel.

Thanks for keeping the trade alive

Guys the total
Chad of plastering! Bless you sir!

[commoncentsamerican]

It is so obvious Kirk knows what he talks about.
I enjoy watching his video tutorials alot.
Thank You

[BigBSB]

Great job Kirk. These are exactly the type of small patches that I now do. I mainly do small-medium size drywall and interior plaster repair, but recently added a little exterior stucco to the mix (a lot of overlap). Your videos have been a huge help. If you ever turn on the "Super Thanks" option you got something coming from me. Thanks for everything Kirk. Really just wanted to stop in and say I appreciate you!

[keithroberts]

Appreciate you Kirk, im a paint contractor by trade and started watching your videos anout 5 years ago and have gotten many more jobs by being able to do the patch and repair work along side with the exterior paint job

[Antmanlv]

I love this guy, I stumble accross his channel ever so often and my man brings life to doing stucco.

[DoubleDoubleWithOnions]

The day destroys the night and the night divides the day,
but Kirk will be there, "dashing" all the way.
(you make it look so easy)

[notimebusy]

Love it...seeing an experienced, skilled professional work is inspiring

I own a dash finish house in Queensland Australia built 1949. This is a lost art here and trades literally won't touch it. Thank you for your videos as I watched several years ago. They have helped me to repair and improve the house with accurate historical appearance.

[davidv]

I actually thought of you today. I live in a stucco house and have done work over the years and have viewed your videos for help. You seem to enjoy your work, and it's tough work, and it's just nice to see. I think you have helped many folks foir years and hope that feels good for you.

[feeblewrk]

“😊 Kirk’s the best!” Never gets old. - I was waiting for a union story when you were talking about the hopper. Ohhh when worked in unnnion 40 years ago! Great stuff mate.

[Jesse-gvtf]

You make this look easy. I had to help my dad patch two holes during the summer. Just carrying the buckets, the tools, the water, sweeping and cleaning up was enough for me. I knocked out as soon as I got back home.

[scoobtoober]

Still at it. Keep it up. With your encouragement i did two rooms in my house with cove ceilings to match the upstairs. Hot mud with sand added. I couldn't get diamond or other plaster of paris top coats so i just floated it out to match the upstairs texture. 5" or so of cove depth. Super hard and matches. Just use a template of what you have and setup a base of wood and metal mesh. THANKS for the teachings. I love stucco too. Worked that as a kids for a few summers.

[Mikefngarage]

I have done that with a dash brush I have also used acrylic stucco and blown it on with a hopper. works great. almost the same finish.

Watching real craftsmen is fascinating. Thanks for the video!
