Stucco / Plaster Recommendations (Upland Area)

[D19]

I'm looking for recommendations for a company to do a new finish and color coat in Upland.

Gonna jump in on this. We will be needing someone to do my parents in Sierra Madre.

Here's the only contact you need...
Dustin @ New way plastering
1/951/241-4828
Dustin and his dad have been doing work for me for the last 25yrs. Dustin was just at my house tuning up my retaining walls and stuff 3 weeks ago. He's done work for a couple others on the boards here I've referred him to. I think @FCT was one of them? Not certain, been a few years now. He has a great crew and he's very reliable.

HI Dave

Any pros / cons for synthetic stucco color coat in Havasu? Sand finish

Looking for your opinion

We did a synthetic stucco color coat in Escondido ( 2019 ) and it’s great ! You can press wash and it’s back to NEW again

Looking to do it to the Hava house And thinking w/ expansion / contraction it would be great …..

Thoughts

If it’s done correctly yes it’s very durable.
From the limited experience I have in havasu I didn’t see much that impressed me with the plasters in havasu.

Not to thread jack but why do most houses in Havasu have that texture/rough finish instead of a smooth finish? With all the sand and dirt and dust that can blow around, don't you want the smooth finish so you don't wind up with dirty walls?

I believe …. ( disclaimer )

the rough is a more course sand ( gritty) and that bonds better, holds together better & more bite

A smooth is a fine sand and with expansion ( heat ) it cracks / separates, less bite

I’m not a plaster / stucco guy



It’s Like sand paper

A 200 grit doesn’t remove very much material less bite

An 80 grit removes a lot material more bite


I could be way off base

Smooth finish the most expensive finish and to do it properly you need to do a slip sheet over the brown coat to reduce the cracking that occurs with smooth finish.
In LA it adds a lot to the price of the job.
Regular stucco is about 65-75 a yrd now and to do smooth with mesh adds 50 more a yrd.

It all comes down to cost. If people are willing to pay it then it’s a go to finish.
I would say 90% of my work is smooth now a days

Well that explains why its only smooth on the baller homes!
