This is the best stucco information-packed, easy-to-learn, and step-by-step stucco video online. How do I know this? I created it for this purpose!
This guy’s driveway sidewall was hit by a car that was too fast to make this turn.
Or perhaps it was a DUI driver moonlighting and enjoying the beautiful views while sharing too much champagne?
We have no idea. We have repaired many walls in the past due to folks crashing into them while driving, and the damage is usually similar to this one.
If you can fix one wall that has been crashed into, you can repair them all.
In this video, we first apply the waterproof membrane to this newly framed retaining wall. In stucco terminology, it’s called “Lathing.”
After we lathed it. Necessary before cement stucco applications.
We applied “Rapid Set Stucco,” which sets fast, allowing us to apply both coats” almost immediately.
How is this possible? The first coat was applied, and the paper sucked out the moister quick as it was a warm day. Then, we continued our first coat and doubled to finish the base coat.
We rodded the stucco when both coats were on to make the walls straight.
The base coat is a one-coat same-day Rapid Set Stucco.
It sets as fast as I want it to. You can purchase it at Home Depot, Lowes, or any plastering material yard.

Very nice work. Skill. I subscribed a few days ago Not a tradesman here. I am trying to get a house built in TN (a very small Tudor) and the General Contractor is telling me that stucco is no good ... "too many problems".

I am trying to learn, and it is a pleasure watching your videos.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Good evening Tom, thank you. FYI, stucco walls last hundreds of years in some instances thousands, plastic siding between 15 to 30 if installed properly then the sun warps them and changes the color.

I call myself a plasterer haha over here you’re not really a plasterer unless you can do the lot, a good many now are just board skimmers, ask them to float and skim and they’re lost 😁😜 Do you use K-rend or Sto-rend ever? I personally really rate the K-Rend highly when it’s applied properly, and try to use it wherever possible over sand and cement finishes.

Hi. Really am inspired by your instructional videos. Have a question. Have a 50 year old home, that has a heavy orange peel type stucco over the exterior. The house sits on top of a cement foundation, that's about 12 to 18" thick. The foundation has a horizontal crack. Hairline to 1" thick, all along the exterior perimeter of the house. Its about 2 to 3" above the soil line. I'd like to fill it with something. What would you recommend? Thanks!

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Nadine, I'd recommend Mor-Flexx caulking, you can buy online from Amazon. Peace, love, and harmony to all Sound Plastering tips for the DIY beginner’s and Plastering experts

How do you keep the wood frame from absorbing water from the ground? It seems that a metal-stud wall would be better for minimizing hairline cracks?

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Hybrid, we usually attach a weep screed on the mudsill, thus protecting the wood. Peace, love, and happiness to all. Sound Plastering tips from your favorite stucco nurds

HI Kirk, I want to get my house sandblasted and then re-stucco. my house was build in 1939 and is need of work. A contractor who gave me an estimate said he could just power wash and put an adhesivsive bond and then add stucco. Is this a good application?

Mr. Giordano what's the difference between 100 and 200 La Habra color coat base material the they sale at Home Depot thank you in advance

[@StuccoPlastering]

Hi Gil Velazquez, easy peasy lemon squeezy, 100 is a white base while 200 is a grey base, usually, They have the different color bases as there are at least 30 colors, I believe home depot sells only a few of the colors, try your nearest Westside Building Material yard for the complete line of coloring.

My buddy Tony has a house on the corner but talking sidewalk, then retaining wall. His wall got hit so many times he had someone install 10ft 4" steel pipe, filled with rebar & concrete. 20 years now, the piped have been hit many times but no more damage. .. .if it happens again, you have an idea..

[@StuccoPlastering]

Good Evening Thomas, are you referring to the home at the bottom of the hill from Carson street down to Tompkins in Oakland? I've repaired it twice in the last 35 years. The hollow steel pole filled with concrete is necessary, plus they placed stop signs on every street as that is at the bottom of a steep hill. FYI, that's a famous street to the forest where many get drunk and high. Yes, guilty too as charged. No place for a poor braking system. Peace, love and happiness to all.

Hey Kirk. You've been generous with your sharing and responding to questions. Thank you. I have a question. I am a woodworker who recently retired and decided to design a whimsical birdhouse. There is a lot of info on plastering doll houses but none on coating an exterior miniature made from exterior grade plywood (ACX). It's a little to small for wire mesh so I covered it in nylon concrete mesh seam tape. I have white portland cement, fine sand and liquid acrylic. Do you think that will work and hold up for a few years. It's been a complicated build (multi-level with a ton of bump outs and roof lines). I was hoping a single coat since I dont want it too thick or too heavy. Thoughts? Thanx paul. (PS: I am a KZbin Creator as well my specialty is wood finishing with oils or polyurethane. Currently around 2M views).

[@StuccoPlastering]

Good morning Paul, if it were me, and I do have a mailbox like the one you're describing.😉 I'd coat the top with excellent caulking already tinted and trowel it smooth, or if you had some Poly bond by LaHabra, that would also work, as the Polybond is an adhesive cementitious bonding agent used to attach styrofoam to stucco walls. PolyBond is not sold at HD or lowes but instead only plastering yards. Mix a small amount of the fine sanded Poly Bond, slake the re-mix, and spread over the top. One bag would do about 20 roofs to the birdhouses. Neither of these methods needs fiberglass mesh. Thus you achieve your objective with fewer efforts.😏 Our unique plastering Tip: all subscribers or anyone who stumbles on our channel with a question, type it into our Stucco/Plastering channel, and like magic, a video will appear to explain how it's done.

@@StuccoPlastering Hey Kirk. Can't find Polybond in my area. I did buy Weld Crete based on an earlier video you made and I do have a HUGE bag of White Portland and fine sand. I just finished watching your 2015 video on color coating. That's kinda what I want a thin coat over plywood and I already have the mesh firmly attacked to the plywood. Can I use what I have and can you recommend a mix recipe for a 1/8th to 1/4 inch coat? Am I thinking right here? Thanx paul

[@ELDIESTRODIY]

Howdy Benito, unfortunately, all stucco walls eventually hairline, this is natural and because of movement. A lot of hydrating helps to stop or slow this down when cureing between coats. Live long and Plaster Plastering tips from your favorite stucco gee

[@StuccoPlastering]

Good evening Irish guy, because I or no one could achieve the finish with the basecoat, I used a finish coat material for the texture to match what they had on the existing walls. This Finish coat is called La Habr finish coat, it comes in a grey base or white base, the color didn not matter as it was to be painted.

Your video's Rock! Why can't you use real cement over cinder block walls?

[@StuccoPlastering]

who says you can't? real cement just need the addition of sand, thus you have stucco which can be applied over blocks.

Hey Kirk bro, just curious . How much does stucco cost in california ? (Square Foot)

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Ernesto Gonzales, In the Oakland area, about 75 to 100 dollars a Squar-yard go across the Bay Bridge into San Fransisco they charge around 150 to 200 a square yard. 🤔 What does this fact mean to me? 😉 Absolutely nothing, zilch, nada.🤷‍♂️ As I'm not selling carpet from a shop, I have never come across the same job, ever, there are always differences, such as say this one, It's high up in the Oakland hills, and murder on my truck, the work is in a dangerous place, Hell, my brother Luuuu can ket squished by another reckless drive, then I'd have to stop what I was doing and thank the driver.😀 FYI, I can look at any home and guess the yardage with my time in and be close by about 20 yards, Again what does this mean to me? I then know how much to calculate for materials, that's all.🍻 I bid on jobs based on my eyeball theory; I know how long each project will take me. Thus I bid my plasterers and hod carriers time and materials and think, how much do I want to make on this repair. Or how much are my 35 plus years of application time and material knowledge worth, with a lifetime warranty?🧗🏼‍♂️ Hope this helps brother, all quality tradesmen should know the value of their time, combined with ethics and morals for guarantees and great workmanship. As long as I have been doing this, we have always left a job cleaner than we found it.

Really enjoying your videos. Wish I saw this one before trying on my first plastering... I would have tried the soft float thing... if I understand correctly, it helps dry out the material faster... yes?

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Ofer, yes, it does so by opening the stucco, air can now get in deeper and faster.
