Hernandez Lath and Plastering

I hired Hernandez Lath and Plaster to stucco a storage building that I built behind my home. It was a relatively small building, but Ivan and his father performed the work with the same quality as a large house. They covered the exterior walls with two layers of paper and installed metal flashing below the perimeter of the roof to prevent any water intrusion. They used heavy gauge wire lath instead of thin chicken wire, and impregnated the stucco with fiberglass fibers to reduce the chance of hairline cracks. I was very impressed by their work and will hire them again when I need stucco work.

First, Ivan is very personable and easy to work with. His price was very competitive with other stucco companies I received bids from. He and his crew were always there when he was needed as a part of my remodel. Even though two of the windows were not installed because the wrong size had been ordered. Ivan agreed to wrap the rest of the exterior and make a second trip back when the correct windows were finally installed. His workmanship throughout the process was impeccable. He did a great job of matching the color of the remaining stucco. We're very proud of the appearance of the exterior of our home thanks to Ivan.

I called Hernandez for a quote for a new weep screed. He answered the phone and told me that he could come for a quote and take a look at the weep screed on Friday. He was unwilling to give me a time frame for his visit but would call before he came. He didn't show up. I waited all day for him.

He was friendly, competent, responsive, and did a good job.

I found Hernandez Lath and Plastering when I used Servicemaster to find someone to stucco the new garage we were building. We received three quotes, oddly all very different and Hernandez was the lowest, but it was very detailed about what they would be doing and I really liked Ivan, the contact for the company. Hernandez Lath and Plastering is a licensed contractor. Ivan's father has been doing this for years and Ivan acts as the spokesperson for the company. He is very personable and responsive and, in our case, they were very flexible in dealing with continual setbacks that took place during the building phase of the garage. The garage was finished in fall of 2011 and Hernandez completed the stucco at that time. Because I wanted a certain shade of yellow, they created the color from the colors that were available, all of which were either too light or too dark. I really appreciated that they could do that. We told them we would need to replace the stucco on the rest of the house so that it would be all one color, but we had some other work to complete first. It took us a year, but we finally got everything ready to go and just had to replace some windows and got a new quote from Hernandez. Once again, they were responsive and friendly. Once again, we had setbacks and once again, they worked with us and around our schedules and the holidays. My house is finally all yellow and they added weep screeds around the footings of the home and replaced our old, ugly vents to the crawl space under the house. They did a nice job. We had one problem with our cable being disconnected, but when we contacted them, they corrected it immediately. I have really enjoyed working with these guys and will recommend them to anyone who I know needs stucco. They are good people, knowledgeable, hard workers, and take pride in their work.
