He provided work for me last January of 2015 and by November of 2016 the stucco are starting to bubble up, I called him back and he fixed it but by January 2017 it started to bubble up again. I started to contact him on the beginning of 2018 but he is not responding and leads me to look for another company.

The stucco job on 10/1/2016 was a pretty good match, and everything seemed fine until we started getting heavy rain. The waterproofing that had been done by the window installers was apparently compromised during the subsequent installation of the frame and/or stucco by JL Stucco, leading to severe leaks in two of the three windows. In addition, JL Stucco did not honor my request to provide me with an invoice upon completion of the work (I only have the canceled check as proof), and they have ignored multiple requests to come out and inspect the leaks (March 2017).
Description of Work: We had three newly installed windows and needed a wood frame installed around them and then stucco repair up to the frame.

He was great. They came out within a couple of days. He told me how much and then did it slightly differently in a way that he said wouldn't cost as much but it just turned out it didn't cost him as much I still owed him as much as the quote. It was more work than $99 would have covered. He repaired stucco and put in the weeping that wasn't there. If he would charge me less I would give him an A. He was done in about half the time he said but he still charged me what he quoted me for two more hours of work. I would use him again. The quality was excellent. I would tell other to get a specific bid.
Description of Work: They did stucco service.

Jose was punctual and very professional. He was careful not to damage landscaping near the areas he worked on and the end result was a perfect match with the surrounding stucco. Cant's say enough good things about the quality of service and Jose's excellent communication throughout the day.
Description of Work: Jose repaired about dozen areas of water damaged stucco around our property.

I enjoyed having Mr. Montano work on my house as he and his helpers were very professional and afterwards, cleaned up after themselves. Neighbors drove by and would stop to comment on the how much better the house was looking.
Description of Work: He removed most of the wood siding from the front of the house and replaced it with stucco which he installed in three layers. lHe put in two layers of cement and the third in the color coating. In addition, he suggested and I agreed for him to install an air vent along the bottom so as to allow the air to travell inside to dry the area, thereby preventing moisture buildup which termites love.

The job, done very carefully and properly required six man hours including preparation, adding a new undercoat of premix cement, letting that dry sufficiently and then mixing the new coatings to properly color match the adjacent wall space and applying the new color coating and letting it set up and dry so that the smooth finish could be completed. There is a required "wait time" between the coatings so that all the material will adhere properly and then the smooth finish is done. I was very happy to write an additional check to cover the extra time needed to do the job.
Description of Work: A 2 and 1/2 square foot area of the stucco on my barbeque area had peeled/come loose. JL Stucco offered a special on Angie's list for $99.00 for two men for one hour each including material. When they arrived and we talked about what was needed we quickly agreed to take the time to go to the local EXPO Stucco center and get the proper material. While we were doing that one of the JL people removed the old material and prepared the surface.

The job was on time, and on budget. The job site was cleaned and all waste was removed. I was very happy with the work. The neighbors have commented on how good the repairs look.
Description of Work: Repaired stucco in three areas. Water damage had caused the existing stucco to crumble and the wire netting and galvanized drip edge to corrode. The damaged area was removed down to the wood sheathing and rebuilt to better than the original. The care of an artist was used to match the color and texture of the repairs.

I couldn't be happier. I hope to have him back to do 2 door frames that need stucco when I can afford it. Thank you again Jose!!

Jose is a real professional. He was punctual and had all the materials he needed for the job. He was neat and clean and picked up all the debris. He also took time to match the stucco color even though I told him we were going to paint the house. I would not hesitate calling him in the future.

The two workers arrived around 8:30 am the first day. Jose's partner taped off and layed down plastic around the areas where the stucco was falling off and dug the dirt away from the walls to expose as much of the base as possible. He also wrapped some plants, like the rose bushes, to protect all while the work was being done. Jose used an electric hammer to remove the loose stucco, which included a good portion of the back wall of the big house up around one bedroom window, power washing as he went. His partner went behind, cleaning up the debris. They mixed cement and filled in all the holes, rebuilt the corner of the one house, and set up a new layer all along the base of the walls affected on both houses. Jose had us come out to inspect the work. That took the first day. They returned the second morning and went to work applying a glue base coat, which Jose explained helps the stucco to adhere to the existing surface. He then had to work on color coding the dry stucco mixture, testing it against the existing wall, and adjusting the mixture till he felt he had the right color. I am amazed at how closely it matches. He then mixed in the water and applied it so masterfully that we couldn't tell the difference in the texture from old to new. It just looked like the wall was wet. When the portion around the bedroom window, which had been finished first, was dry, it was tough to tell where old and new met. When the work was done, they removed all the tape and plastic, cleaned up all the debris, packing it out with them. Jose had us inspect one last time. We are very pleased with how fresh and new it all looks. Any time we need stucco work done right, we know who to call. JL Stucco!
Description of Work: The deal was for 2 hours of stucco patching which I first thought would work even though it included two houses. However, since the stucco was last done in 1989, it turned out to be a bit more labor intensive. Jose said it would definitely be more than just a couple hours. It was our choice to continue. He assessed the extent of the repairs needed once he removed all the loose stucco, and gave us two estimates. The first would include repair of all missing base cement, which included two walls of both houses, and replace the stucco, matching the color of the house for $1600. The second would be to redo the stucco completely in our choice of colors for $8000. He felt confident that the repair would last several years, and since the complete job would have presented other issues, we settled for the repair work.

JL Stucco arrived to look at the repair and determined that they could do the job right there. Jose got all the materials needed from his truck and removed the patch the plumber did and color coded as best as possible the stucco and made the repair look as good as new. He made sure it was done correctly and explained the process so we would not worry about any water damage from the elements. I am very pleased with the results and would use and recommend them to my family and friends. The appointment was made quickly after I purchased the service so the wait was only about 2 weeks. I mostly communicated by e-mail but did call the day before to confirm the appointment.

The service was for 2 hours of stucco repair for $99. However, the estimate to complete the job was an additional $850 to $1000. That greatly exceeded what I expected and was willing to pay without first getting estimates from other providers. I intend to contact stucco contractors associated with Angie's List for additional estimates.
