Patching Holes Along The House Using Sika Pro Ready Mix Stucco Patch! How Is It? How Did It Turn Out

[@pasinduwewegama8098]

Perfect video. I followed every step and it turned out perfectly. Thank you for sharing this, you saved me a ton of time.

[@TerenceDIY]

You're very welcome. Thank you so much for watching.

Did you do that on EIFS synthetic stucco?

[@deankay4434]

That is woodpecker damage. If spray foam, sand down 1/4” lower than finish. Apply a bonding liquid to patch before stucco. The finish is swirl or rilling. EIFS contains marble dust of screened sizes then mix with exterior acrylic paint resins and colorant. This type of finish is larger aggregate. As far as matching it with paint, Menards, Lowe’s, Home Depot can’t use rough textured samples to match color. Hard to match but paintable. Try a darker gray but hold the can back double the distance to blend a color match. If you’ve seen paint mixed, it is 5-8 colors of different amounts. You may end up with 4 used cans of spray paint on the shelf. Clean the nozzle and use masking tape to keep them together and perhaps write the formula that works down on the masking tape. Best of luck as woodpeckers are not looking for bugs or worms, just a home!

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you SO much for your knowledge and insight. I really appreciate it.

[@mztscrazytown1463]

thanks - this is exactly what I needed. I found a sea sponge used for stippling that I will use to see if I can get the peaked texture of my wall. I'm covering up an old doorbell hole.

[@TerenceDIY]

You're very welcome. Thank you for watching.

[@MrEbenites]

Great job! I will try your approach. As for the color, eventually you will need to paint the house and that will become a non-problem. You may also want to take a chip with the existing color from the same part you are patching and have Home Depot match it as close as possible.

[@markchamberlin3741]

Thanks for making this video. I'm getting ready to do the same thing and it's pretty helpful!

[@TerenceDIY]

You're very welcome. Thank you for watching.

[@wildmanofborneo]

Hi instead of searching for a paint color that matches, you can buy a couple different cans and then spray into a little cup. Spray the gray that's too light, then add a little spray of black to darken it up. Take a little brush and paint a piece of metal with it. Can use a blow dryer to hasten drying. A few experiments and you'll have a very close match.

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you very much for that advice. I will do that when it get's warm outside. Thanks for watching!

[@UnitedRedDevil13]

You can take a small sample of the drywall to Home Depot. They scan it under a machine and they will offer you the closet option according to the scan. Paint department.

[@TravisBiggie]

bring a sample piece to lowes, they can use a computer to paint match it, its quite accurate

[@javaruswalker2619]

Can I use this same process if I have a hole in my hardie board siding?

[@TerenceDIY]

This is only intended to be used with Stucco foundations.

[@lrdanny8]

Is that EIFS synthetic stucco? Thank you

[@K8DreamTeam]

Interested to know as well , it doesn't looks like cement...

[@ArielGilman]

And if its EIFS, how it's still holding up after one year ?

[@TerenceDIY]

Yes, it's an acrylic-based textured stucco.

[@TerenceDIY]

Acrylic stucco.

[@TerenceDIY]

It's an acrylic-based textured stucco. All of the sections that I have painted looks just like they are in this video. The few sections I did not paint, it's starting to crack. The key for this stuff is to paint over it to match you existing surface.

[@billargueta5458]

I used this on my house a few years ago and still no cracks and solid. Good video and repair that someone would've charged hundreds of dollars for...

[@TerenceDIY]

Thanks Bill for sharing that info. The repair look as if I did it yesterday. Thanks for watching.

[@abulayla1212]

How big was the hole?? I have about a 1 square foot hole that I'm trying to patch,,, would you recommend this product?? Thanks

[@TerenceDIY]

@@abulayla1212 I show all of the holes before I fill them. If you have a hole that is 12x12, you will need to use some large gap insulation spray foam to create a foundation so you can use this stucco patch.

[@abulayla1212]

@@TerenceDIY first thanks for the fast reply 😁,,, i was going to use regular insulation, stucco paper and wire instead of foam,,, what do you think

[@billargueta5458]

@@abulayla1212 ill chime in if you don't mind because I had hammered a hole on yhe side of my house to fix a pope and I used this product for the second time. I put paper and wire and smashed the product in then reapeted it the process until it was full amd im happy with the product.

[@iwizsp]

i would have used cheap clay to make a stamp out of the exiting stucco pattern. inexpensive and reusable once its dry. Happy patching!

[@cecilbatt11]

Thank you. Well done!

Great demo! Stucco cracks every spring time here in Washington 😢

[@TerenceDIY]

[@zookini]

Chip a piece of stucco and take it to the paint store to get an exact match!

[@rkgsd]

If you go in the hardware store, you see all the construction folks getting the 25lb bag of stucco patch that requires you to mix with water. I thought to myself they're buying it because it lasts longer or is considered more professional. The reviews for this Sika Ready Mix are very good though. Great option for DIY folks.

[@TerenceDIY]

Thanks for sharing that information and watching my content. I really appreciate it.

[@80Ragincajun]

I believe that finish is called a worm Finish. you can match it pretty close by putting some really course sand in the mix and using a rubber or plastic float in circle motions. Also If that is a maintenance free stucco, try and use a cementious color coat over tha patches. so you do not have to keep painting it.

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you SO much for sharing that info and watching my content.

[@80Ragincajun]

@TerenceDIY Yes sir thank you for sharing your videos! I really enjoy watching and seeing new ways to do stuff!

[@WillCollect]

Just wondering, can you bring a piece of your stucco wall to have Home Depot color-match it? I am having the same issue on my house and trying how to repair/paint it on my own.

[@TerenceDIY]

That's a good idea Will. I finally found something that came close to my color that I settled for. It looks pretty good. If you decide to go that route, let me know if they were able to help you. Thanks for watching.

[@victorjuarez2295]

Ty

[@codybythesea]

Will the stucco mix adhere to the yellow foam? Do I need some stucco netting underneath for it to stick to?

[@TerenceDIY]

Yes, it did adhere to the foam. It looks exactly like it did when I repaired it a year ago. If the holes are larger than the ones I repaired I would use some netting but if they aren't, your good. Thanks for watching.

[@codybythesea]

@@TerenceDIY Thanks for the vid, you gave me more confidence in fixing stucco holes outside my house, I was so lost at first, but now I know what tools and materials to use.

[@TerenceDIY]

Yep, and it's very inexpensive. Holds up great too!

[@rkgsd]

Unfortunately you have a complex stucco pattern that looks nice and fancy, but would be challenging even for a stucco company to match. Luckily the bottom half has a more straight forward pattern that's easier to match with a wet float.

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you for sharing that knowledge.

You are videos are helpful but you should put descriptions like product name etc for things you have used. I am sure you say that in video but it will be nice if you can put that into the description.

[@TerenceDIY]

I apologize. I used to add links to all of the products I used but over time they become dead links. I found the best way was when someone asked me, I link them to the products for the best purchase price and a great deal. Thank you so much for watching.

[@dwainisreal3356]

Take a piece of the color and home depot can match it using ai software

[@jj1562-e3m]

your stucco is color coat they have a color already ready when u select a stucco

[@hvacwiz7877]

when i got paint from ppg the paint was a lot better than the stuff at lowes and way cheaper too. as for matching ya i am pretty horrible at doing that. those color cards are totally not helpful for me. ive even had real good painters and i think even they struggle with it.

[@stupidassol]

If this is in an HOA, they might have the color in file. As far as matching the paint, just paint the wall, corner to corner. That way you don't have to match the weathered paint or the patchwork areas. You'll NEVER get paint to match without it being noticeable. Just bite the bullet and spend $150 and repaint the entire wall. Cost of ownership, buddy.

[@TerenceDIY]

It's all good. This is not in an HOA. Thanks for watching.

[@bludika]

looks horrible mate

[@bobsmithers4647]

C'mon man update the paint
