In this video, we’re showing you how to remove stucco and then re-finish a wrong cement finish.

It all takes practice learning to re-plaster poor or wrong finishes and textures that don’t match the existing cement wall.
Yes, that’s right, we were considered real plasterers.

First, we removed the old cement stucco, which was ugly as sin.

Once that was done, it was time to clean it up, apply a bonding agent, use some mesh tape around the perimeter crack, and then apply a coat of finish stucco to match the existing stucco as closely as possible.
No problem if you know how to do it.

The caulking I applied in the hole is called Sika Flex. It’s an adhesive sealant and incredibly strong.
Just don’t get any of that caulking on you, as it’s tough to remove as it’s polyurethane caulking.
It’s so strong a few drops will hold bricks together.
That’s mighty strong to be alright.

I'm not even doing stucco repair and I find your videos fascinating. It's like watching the Bob Ross of stucco.

Knowledge of stucco materials some may say with trade secrets too!

I was actually looking up some videos on concrete countertops when I came across one of your videos that covered different types of stucco finishes. I dont have any plans at all to do any sort of stucco work but the topic just interested me. The video wasn't ultra time consuming so I watched it. Now almost 2 hours, 4 chocolate donuts, 1 family size bag of doritos and a 2 liter of code red have been annihilated as I remain right here glued to this channel watching more and more of your fine videos. I don't know what to say fellas. This certainly is an unexpected 1st for a crusty 54 year Old SOB like me! Hey DIY channel... If your smart. You would be doing whatever you can to put together a tv show on your channel featuring these two by the time the spring line up kicks off!Who in the hell would have ever imagined that stucco could be this compelling??? You fellas nailed it! It's your professionalism, skill level, expertise, customer service attitude, the unmistakable enjoyment you reflect to the viewer regarding your chosen profession, your unceasing attention to detail, skill, knowledge, enthusiasm and penchant for concise and complete instructions. These are all earmarks of true master craftsmen!!! Those old boys over at "This Old House" better look out. Because clearly; There's A New Sheriff In Town!!!
That's all I've got....

I'm watching these videos and enamored. I need to do some stucco and plastering work on my 1928 home. And then I finally, after all these weeks, find out that you are LOCAL! OMG! Does that mean We can hire you? If so, what a gift it would be to have such an artist work on my home.

I'm a DIY'er, with a 1950's stucco home. I've had a few stucco repairs I've been able to do with great results, thanks to your videos. Also, I did notice Jay gave up the shirt right off of his back (very funny). The more I watch, the more I notice older patch jobs I want to fix. Sort of addicting. 🛖

[carlmccoy]

What a difference hiring the right contractor makes

[lancebwilkins]

Terrific video. Putting the tint in for that second area really made the finish easy to see. Great idea.

[lorenzovalenzuela]

It's cool to be able to see the texture like that . Thanks!

I have watched your videos for awhile and then a few years went by. Last few days I had to change a sliding glass door for some relatives.( I do a lot of side work ) The door was smaller than the original so I had to build a small wall and match the stucco. Even though I just do it as side work and have done everything under the sun shy of building a house, I've never tried stucco. Thanks to you and your videos, I nailed it. You are a true professional and now I watch your videos just because I appreciate your craftsmanship. Second to none.

[gilbertvelazquez]

Thank you Jason for putting in the color on the texture really appreciate that

[snakedike]
