Repaint Stucco Home After Only Six Years?

[@donfrey9071]

From a 55 year Florida resident and builder. The rough texture stucco really holds the dirt and moisture. Especially on the north facing side. Pressure cleaning every two to three years does wonders to get the dirt out of the crevices and bring back the new look. Helps also to keeps the mold & mildew away, paint looking good, and stucco from deteriorating. Trimming back shrubs from touching the house is a maintenance must! Also suggest keeping shrubs from blocking or up to high in widow areas. These areas will dry slower and thus the moisture will help deterioration and window leaks will be in your future. The small stucco cracks like you had are very normal. Beautiful home!. Quality workmanship is severely lacking in Florida. Not many good painters around Florida like you had. Great fun and entertaining video as always.

He did a great job! He seems like a nice guy who takes pride in his work. He's a KEEPER!

[@sherrycampbell9196]

A very respectful young man and crew..and your homes new paint makes it look fresh and lovely...

[@joeo1168]

I can tell you're educators. You made a point to feature the work ethic an artistry of the painter. So impressed and you're house looks perfect. Congrats for showing a positive image of a young entrepreneur.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

When we find a young person that we think is a quality individual with ambition, we try to help them all we can.

[@eastkilbride1]

Your really honest and informative videoblog is the best! My wife and I started watching them last week ( starting at episode 1) and they have become a must-watch event each evening. The drive around the Villages and the walking the neighbourhood at 9:15pm were great. I loved the breakdown of the monthly expenses and the repainting your house video was awesome. What a fantastic place you have. We will continue to watch and maybe when this Covid thing settles down we may come for one of the trial rentals to see what it’s like in person. All the best. Thanks, Pete and Pam.

[@lorrainebrown3536]

Congrats! House looks absolutely beautiful! ❤️

[@mikemurphy5693]

Hey Jerry and Linda - I think it is the 1st time I saw your home. Really nice home style, I really like your home roof lines and the color looks good. Great job to Danny!

[@Jorgeola757]

Hi Jerry & Linda , the house color came out great. Danny really takes pride in his work. If and when I need paint I will call Danny. Thanks for sharing.

[@Debber0401]

You have a beautiful home and I love the color!! I agree with you about young people in business who take pride in their work! They are few and far between these days!

[@terrie1226]

You can tell that Danny and his crew took pride in their work.....thanks for sharing the painting of your house...you have a lovely home.....

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks, Terrie! 😁😁

[@budford3417]

very impressed with the danny companies preparation and completion

[@oceandreamer1958]

Thanks for all of this valuable information. We are learning new things about caring for our home and about living here in Florida. Thank you! The color is great!

[@shirlo]

Lovely color on your home. It is soft, muted, and easy on the eyes. Your landscaping adds elegance and I love the palm trees in front of your home. Danny and his workers did a great job. It is a pleasure listening to your videos and the helpful advice to anyone that is thinking of buying and moving to the Villages. Linda is lovely and I love her natural hair style, it suits her young and happy personality. (This coming from a retired cosmetologist.) Jerry, you missed your calling. You have a wonderful "radio" voice. It's a pleasure listening to you. Shirley from Massachusetts.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Wow! Thank you, Shirley! So nice! 🙂🙂🙂

I am located in southern Michigan and just wrote a check for $3,000 to have our cedar trim painted. We have a two story home and this was the lowest bid we received. The painter was the brother of well known exterior painter in our area. He mentioned that if his brother painted the home, he would have charged more than double what he was charging. One bid we received was well over $6,500 for THE TRIM only. I will be reading the comments on this video as I am interested in what others have paid to have their house painted. We didn’t even pay for the pressure washing as you did in this video. We reviewed 10 contractors during our 2 year vetting process (2020/2021) What a racket. The no show contractors in this area blows my mind. My husband was in a car accident, so there was no way he would be able to paint our trim.

[@rsgabrys3080]

------------------ hello pattyporkchop ..... if you were a cedar board ... trim , ( that's the way I like my pork chops extra thin a lil thicker than bacon) you wouldn't want or need to be "pressure washed" as a matter of fact you wouldn't want a brand new coat of paint ..... your most fervent wish would want to be protected..... right ....not paint but stain it has properties that are considerably more compatible w/ the woods nature ... woods natural oils are being held captive by the paint so a struggle ensues... hey Jerry n Linda but once cedar is painted its commited to it.... for better or worse .... next go around consider replacing trim w/composite material

[@joefraga7377]

Love it. Nice secret points from painter. Superb pro job. Thanks for sharing another day in the Villages. .

[@sherrycampbell9196]

The home does look brighter..and more of the original color yiu mentioned

[@sylviah2937]

Another great video. Danny and the workers did an awesome paint job. The color is just amazing. Thank you Linda and Jerry for sharing.

[@dweickel]

Don't forget to clear out the weeping holes for water to leave the window frames

[@Muffin192213]

It came out very nice the garage doors look trerrific too, you must be so proud

[@j.m.7056]

How wonderful to be able to have a true professional perform the work. I wish him well in his business!

[@Gone_Flying]

Thanks for this video! Danny did a great job and appreciate being able to watch!

[@jlt1160]

Color is great! Beautiful home! After teaching our young people, you deserve the best!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

[@mykvalentin]

Thank you Jerry&Linda & Gizmo for posting & sharing. Now we know who to call to paint our house. Danny & Co did a great job Cheers 🍻.

[@mariegadevsky9759]

What a marvelous difference a makeover accomplishes! All that hard work and money is well worth it when you see the results. Beautiful job! Glad to see Gizmo is okay! Prayed for him because he's getting up there (12) in years for a doggie. Thanks for the extra show this week.

[@hortensehorseman5328]

Informative video. An expense new homeowners may not think of.

[@peanutsassyathena]

Love the color of the house! Excellent street presentation. Outstanding job by Danny and the crew!

[@RoxieintheCity]

Oh I do love a refresh! He is so neat. Looks fantastic and I just love the color. Good for you.

[@rogojo9853]

Love the color of your home. You can see how the paint has faded, but it didn’t look bad. Our home is 30 yrs old and we’ve replaced most windows, we have 6 left (the house had 23), we’ve done the roof and painted the exterior three weeks ago. We’ve been remolding since 2012. Boy what a chore it is to remodel 🧐. It’s definitely not an easy task painting a home. Danny did a great job! TFS and great video. 🌼✨

[@WiseChristian60]

You all have a beautiful place and that paint job is fantastic, you two are awesome and blessed!

[@golfnut2599]

the house looks great, they did a great job. we had our house, block and stucco painted 2 years ago, it was built in 2004 so we got 15 years out of the first paint job. we didn't really feel it had to be painted because it still looked good, but we wanted a different color as a lot of houses in the neighborhood were done the same color and we wanted something different

[@jpfautsch]

Danny and his crew did a great job! Beautiful color it looks awesome!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks, Janet!

[@lizharen56]

Using quality products applied correctly makes all the difference.

[@erictaylor1385]

Love your home!! We were just down last week staying at a friend's house. We love the villages. Thought about you guys several times. Wow is the Southern area exploding. Played 6 rounds of Executive golf with my son. The Marsh View Pitch and Putt was fun too. Edna's is really a neat quiet setting at Marsh View.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

So glad you had a good time! 😁😁

[@susansmith2304]

Your house is beautiful!! They did a great job! Love the color! We live in North Carolina and have to paint ever 6 to 7 years.

[@bettyblakley4157]

Great job! Honest company, paint color is very nice! Win/win situation!

[@theadster2702]

I live in Northern Arizona and we get our TV stations from Phoenix. Phoenix is extremely hot and dry. And they also have monsoons and sand storms. I notice commercials for "Rhino Shield" paint with a 25 yrs GUARANTEE. It is a kinda of ceramic coating paint....looks the same. If this can take 25 years of Phoenix...I am sure it could take it in Florida. Do you have that kind of an option? Have you ever heard of it? Sounds like it would be good for Florida.

[@joanklag2640]

The house looks great! They did a wonderful job!

[@HFSDRRadiotonynyc46]

Looks great guys. Don’t fret the cracks. IT’s very common here In Florida. We don’t have foundations like up North, so we have settling.

[@maryellenmcmillan3493]

My parents lived in Naples FL for 15 years. Block and stucco, never had paint it once.

[@conniemcgehee2851]

That is a great price In Los Angeles our paint job was $6000 for a 1300 sf home Of course we had a lot of sanding on our woodwork that was neglected

[@laurarahz12]

Looks great!! So awesome of you guys to feature them, I’m sure they will get a bunch of business from this!! And thank you for a Saturday morning surprise! So fun to wake up to a video!!!❤️

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

We hope so. We have always liked to promote hard working young people. Danny is a good one!

[@pamcornelius9122]

What a timely and informative video. We live in Georgia and are getting ready to have our three story Hardi-plank sided house painted within the next few years. The house is a khaki color and was built in 2004. It has noticeably faded. I’m very nervous about getting quotes. Thanks for providing this valuable information!

[@singsongcindy8865]

Hi Pam, We painted our three story Hardiplank (3 sides) and brick fronted home in georgia before selling it last year. SW duration paint, 2 coats. The cheapest estimate was $7000. We got four bids, and they went from $7000 -$11,000 with same prep, paint, etc House had about a 2500 sq ft footprint on the main floor, walkout basement and second story. Painting is not cheap. Good PAINT is not cheap!

[@hildacollier4505]

I live in a stucco house in Alabama on a lake so the moisture really messes with everything. We put the color in the stucco so it NEVER needs to be painted. It's been 14 years and still looks the same. It does have to be washed because this lake makes mould grow on everything.

[@pattylaverde]

My friend owns a stucco company in Minnesota and he has always said you should not paint stucco. They add the color to the stucco. He said painting over it doesn't allow the stucco to breathe. Not sure if it's different in Florida or not.

[@singsongcindy8865]

@@pattylaverde I have wondered about that since we moved here. I am in a 15 year old stucco home. It has no mold or moisture issues. It has obviously been painted since day one as have all my friends homes. It must not be an issue, or the type and manner of doing stucco in florida is appropriate for our hot muggy weather? Even coastal homes and huge coastal multi family buildings are painted stucco here.

[@bethcarr264]

Love it! He did a great job!

[@kristenschnese698]

What a personable young man he did a great job!

[@ajwells322]

Looks great. It seems that Villagers love to spend money on their homes....painting, landscaping, palm trees, gutters, painted driveways, epoxy garage floors, water filtration systems, termite treatment, plantation shutters, enclosed lanais, and the list goes on and on.....................wow!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

I don't think it is that anyone loves to spend money. It is more of a taking pride in where you live and wanting your things to last. If you don't take care of things, they tend to deteriorate.

[@ajwells322]

I agree. I'm the same way. It seems im always doing something to my home... Having a water softener installed next week!

[@patfudala4745]

House looks amazing! love the color

[@marilynnschroeder4436]

Wow guys, another, not only interesting, but VERY informative video! Not just for the villages, but anywhere really! Thank you! QUESTION: Do you have to paint the house the same color in The Villages?

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

There are options, but you need to stay within the same color palette. And if you change you need to get permission from the ARC.

[@MsLorie-ef6fo]

Your "mansion" looks awesome. Wish I could afford a nice home like yours. You do a great job of keeping it look beautiful. Upkeep is always an expense that's not a happy thing, but it keeps your value of your home attractive at any age. Great video !!!! Your contractor was very polite and efficient --- nice job!!!! (I was expecting him to "spray" the paint on especially with the uneven surface, but I guess that would leave a mist on your plants....)

[@kentbowen2731]

Looks great. LOVE your videos. Coming down in September for a Lifestyle Tour.

[@michaelthompson7570]

Had spider and larger cracks in my stucco home. Found a guy to repair. He was convinced the stucco job on the house was not done well. He used a nylon mat and repair paint/stucco done with a trowel. The color is in the final product and should not fade away. Home in seGA so we have close to same environment. Mold/mildew can stain which will not come off. It should last much longer than 5-10 years. Shoddy building is your biggest problem!

[@miguelalmeida2266]

that's rubbish all stucco will crack at some point because every house moves and stucco isn't cheap plastic so it will crack its no big deal its a simple repair

[@stephaniecampbell6811]

Very interesting. I thought it would be spray painted instead of hand rolled.

[@bw257]

I enjoyed video, property upkeep is necessary and should be required

[@genxx2724]

Beautiful job. I am surprised you didn’t contact The HOA for the approved brand and colors. If The original paint looked so different from the chip, it sounds as if it was in fact not high -quality, as you said, and didn’t stand up to the elements.

[@CraigKell]

Fantastic job! Nice color too!

[@williamfederle5119]

I liked the color but hopefully it will be more than 7 years since you did select a better grade of paint than what was originallly used.

It appeared that the painter sprayed water at the soffit which has air filtration holes in it. We’re you concerned that water would enter the attic and dampen the insulation? The painter did a great job and he will be on my short list for painting. Thanks for the video.
