I once took a beating for watching the garbage men work when I was 6. Needless to say, Id take one for watching these fellas work too. Its worth it. Great job!!!!
I'm a 78 year old woman thinking about plastering a shed. I cannot express how much I love your videos. Why don't more people choose careers like this.. if they like to work outside, with their hands, doing artisan work? Great job; great video.
Seriously professional. How these guys can work back and forth on each other’s work without having the wall look different in spots is most impressive.
Female plasterer here from San Diego. Your guys do a good clean job. Keep it up. I'm trying to retire, but its hard to let go after 30 years of doing this kind of work. Its an art to me but my hands and back are tired.
Big props to you and your crew. That is a great looking job. When those of us watching the video think we can do the same thing at our home it's because you guys are pros and you make it look easy which I know it's not. :-) Keep up the good work. Thanks for the video.
Man I just did a brown coat last weekend in preparation for the final coat this coming weekend and man my hand is sore. Props to the guys who do this on the regular, hard work!
I’m watching this to learn the basics of application methods but I find that I’m distracted by these extraordinary craftsmen and their cooperation. Watching good people working together is delightful! They make it look effortless.
Great video provided needed information in clear direct wording at appropriate times without extra jabber, and, the let us watch and observe; a comforting style for new DIY.
I have to tell you, I never dreamed I could actually enjoy a video like this so much. You guys did a fantastic job in every way, and I loved feeling like I was part of your "team". Great job! I'm subscribed!
I was in Huntingdon Beach earlier this year on a business vacation. These walls were all over the place. This was a great video on the process and your description was spot on. Thanks and happy plastering to you all!
Great work guys. I'm really impressed with every part of your job. You are true professionals. I am also very impressed you are sure to use your guy's names. Without them you don't have a business, without you they don't have work. Class act.
Thank you for sharing your talents, and thx for the thorough explanations :)) your work always comes out on top! 🙏God continue to Bless y’all. --from the Rockies of Colorado
That looks so great! i recently paid to have the smooth look in white and there was only 1 guy that did the whole wall he was doing it by himself no wonder there are rough spots!!!! i wish i could have seen this video before!!!! thank you so much!
I wish I could find a helper that could run mud like your guys . Nice looking work the end result is great when you have men that take pride in their work.
Muy buen trabajo siempre veo tus vídeos Aquí en Oklahoma es algo diferente el finish coat por que tiene que ser acrylic y para enmallar también es diferente pero el acabado es lo mismo
Excellent job! How do I achieve a smooth finish with color movement in it? Meaning, some color variations to create a cloudy effect? Sort of like limewash. Any help is appreciated!
Just did the first base coat on my cinder block wall... I want to go do the smooth finish but as a one man DIY first timer I dint think I want to attempt this. Looks amazing tho.
This is outstanding work and an excellent tutorial. I’m getting prepared to stucco the 1st floor of my house which is now painted cinderblock. Paint adds a wrinkle to the prep - I shall deal with the loose paint. Pressure wash all areas first, then Knock off failed areas with scraper then hit with a7in. Diamond grinder on those spots. Disk sand the rest. My question: Is that enough prep (I will keep surface damp.) or will I get finish failure because there is paint? What do I do?
Great video, I want to stucco my house, It was only painted over, .makes the house so cold in the winter, I don't want to drill into the house to put chicken wire in it. So I'm thinking this is the best way. Thank u.
Thanks for the great videos. On part one when you explained how to mix the brown coat are the bags of plastic cement 80 or 94 lb bags? Here where I live they sell it in 80 lb bags. So not sure what the ratio would be for that?
Nice job.. The only detail I would add is that smooth-troweled surfaces are more prone to show cracks and imperfections, which get more exaggerated depending on the light source and angle shining on it.
Great video. I hired some guys and they are telling me that it’ll 100 percent crack. All smooth finishes crack. They said if they go with acrylic, it’s more expensive but flexible and won’t crack. Another option is to go with 20/30 but more popcorn than I want. I’d appreciate your thoughts. Thank you!
Great video that I'm going to show to my pool contractor. One wall of our pool is exposed and has had stucco applied to it. It looks like a 3rd grader did the work and I'm fighting the contractor, demanding that the stucco be reapplied. Can I get you to come to Texas to do some work for me!!
Thanks for the vid. I used to do stucco part time while going to college and i really enjoyed doing it but i never learned how to apply the smooth finish texture
Awesome finish. I just removed my old clam shell shutters (63 yrs old) and they were fastened with concrete nails with metal anchors, any suggestions on removing them out of the holes? Also, any suggestions on patching the holes where it blends in nicely with the existing wall, I feel that by patching the holes it will be very visible.
It is impressive to see how you manage to almost not waste any material! For a wall like that i would have at least 1 bucket full of stucco that ended on the ground!
Very well done. I'm wanting to stucco my house with half stucco on the top part of the wall and the base done with real river stones to give it that country cottage cozy look. As it sits now, I have speckled rocky stucco on the top part, then some wood boards, then below it's old stone cover for the foundation look. It's an older home about 50-60 years old, so it needs a serious update. What is the stucco mix I should get to prep the wall and what is the stucco mix for the finish? Can I just go over the old stucco, since it's on there pretty secure and then fill in the bottom part with paper and wire, then stucco that part? And for where the stones will go, can I just do a scratch coat of concrete mix and then apply my rocks?
I loved the video and subscribed. I want to become a GC/developer for my self so trying to learn a little about everything so I can start doing this on my own properties. Thank you.
Love the work! I'm a little nervous about a completely smooth stucco exterior and want to know if it's possible to get a clean/smooth look with a super fine sand finish without the extra labor intensive work.
Confused on the bag of 'plastic cement' to 19 shovels sand? Is that the name of the product at home Depot? Plastic Cement? I see lots of "Surface bonding cement" but you just add water?? Thank you if can clarify
Good job, man!...I'm doing a gazebo with smooth stucco. How many days should I have to wait before applying my polybon netting? Also, how many days should I wait after my netting gets installed before applying smooth finish. Any Info is well appreciated thanks
I don't know why this ended up in my feed, but I watched parts 1 and 2 for no reason. Good job guys.
lol this is soo funny. thanks.
I once took a beating for watching the garbage men work when I was 6.
Needless to say, Id take one for watching these fellas work too. Its worth it. Great job!!!!
Same here and I just subscribed as well
Lmao

Martin makes it look effortless which is the sign of a skilled craftsman.

Are you local 200?
I'm in San Diego too and looking for a good plasterer for some work, would you happen to have any good recommendations?
Why even mention you're female?
@@jaclynrachellec still looking for someone to do some stucco work?
@@TheGoldenTrout because it's traditionally men's work. Bigg up to you ma'am!
Very nicely done! Looks fantastic, and you kept the work area clean. Says a lot about the pride in your work!
A clean functional workspace is always reflected in the final product! Love to see it.
Big props to you and your crew. That is a great looking job. When those of us watching the video think we can do the same thing at our home it's because you guys are pros and you make it look easy which I know it's not. :-) Keep up the good work. Thanks for the video.
We do it really similar to this here in Mexico except y’all forgot the caguamas!
Man I just did a brown coat last weekend in preparation for the final coat this coming weekend and man my hand is sore. Props to the guys who do this on the regular, hard work!
Martine is older but so much quicker and better. Great job, clean and professional.

Looks great man! Respect for all the hard work from the crew.
You guys are a well oiled machine! You work together beautifully!
You and your crew put a beautiful finish on that block wall. True craftsmen.
Awesome you are a pro taking time to explain details and reasons why it’s expensive compared other Stucco
I have to tell you, I never dreamed I could actually enjoy a video like this so much. You guys did a fantastic job in every way, and I loved feeling like I was part of your "team". Great job! I'm subscribed!
I appreciate you!!
Beautiful! You all make this look way too easy! Martin gets it done
I was in Huntingdon Beach earlier this year on a business vacation. These walls were all over the place. This was a great video on the process and your description was spot on. Thanks and happy plastering to you all!
Thanks for the tutorial and explaining the mix that you use, I hate when people don't say what kind of mix they're using.
I offer stucco as well as pointing,and masonry.
It is expensive here in the northeast,so I get little stucco work.
Good video.
It’s always great watching pros do their work
Great work guys. I'm really impressed with every part of your job. You are true professionals. I am also very impressed you are sure to use your guy's names. Without them you don't have a business, without you they don't have work. Class act.
Wish you were here in Vegas. I’d have you stucco my backyard wall. Great looking job
Fyamn professional crew. You deserve the business you are getting.
Thank you for sharing your talents, and thx for the thorough explanations :)) your work always comes out on top!
🙏God continue to Bless y’all.

Thinking about buying a concrete block garage and turning into a big 'ol beautiful stucco house. Thanks for the video! 👍🏠
Nice work. Looks like you have a good group there too.
I'll tell you that this crew has their act together! Great Job! Damn, I wish they were in Phoenix.
You guys do beautiful work, and you do it efficiently. Masters of your trade. Thanks for the videos and for sharing your knowledge
Great 👍🏼 work and great commentary.....hate those videos that just run without any type of process or techniques.
Muy buen trabajo siempre veo tus vídeos
Aquí en Oklahoma es algo diferente el finish coat por que tiene que ser acrylic y para enmallar también es diferente pero el acabado es lo mismo
Great teamwork, you guys are a machine. Nice job.

Just did the first base coat on my cinder block wall... I want to go do the smooth finish but as a one man DIY first timer I dint think I want to attempt this. Looks amazing tho.
How do I prepare a older cinder block home for some amateur stucco attempt on the bottom 2 rolls of blocks ?
Great job guys!! It looks amazing! I wish I could have you work on my house! Keep up the great work and keep sharing these amazing videos!!!
Hi I’m you suscriber,
Why I’m getting bubbles in Santa Barbara finish coat?
Gracias por la respuesta.

Can i put it on over old stuco ? Or do i need to remove the old stucco?
Artists. Wow. Great work gentlemen.
Very informative video. We watched both parts and learned a lot on this snowday. Great work, true professionals.
I always enjoy professionals doing a job, great job guys.
Great work!! Wish you could have given us the mixture in detail, because my premixed stucco won't even stay on ,, very frustrating 😡
Great job! I am wanting to get this done in our backyard. What is the ballpark cost per square foot?
New here, if it was sand style, would to do two coats also?
Great work fellas!!!
How much do you guys charge for a 1500 sgft house. I am located in corona
Beautiful finish guys! Great work
Thanks
Excellent stucco explanation vid. Keep up the great job! 👍🏼
Thanks
I cant even spread butter evenly on toast bread, great video....enjoyed both videos.
I thought it was the simple job to put stuck on cinderblock wall but one of the comments said it’s like an art, and it truly is
Nice job.. The only detail I would add is that smooth-troweled surfaces are more prone to show cracks and imperfections, which get more exaggerated depending on the light source and angle shining on it.
I Agree
especially over wood lath and 3 coat
Looks best the first year, then aging starts. Especially if there is soil behind that wall.
This is how I want my house to look. So you can add any color to the stucco for the final result?
Yea
I have a brick home. Will the process be similar?
Great video. I hired some guys and they are telling me that it’ll 100 percent crack. All smooth finishes crack. They said if they go with acrylic, it’s more expensive but flexible and won’t crack. Another option is to go with 20/30 but more popcorn than I want. I’d appreciate your thoughts. Thank you!
Great video! I'm thinking about getting the front of my home stucco.

your team do some nice work. good upload.

Also, any suggestions on patching the holes where it blends in nicely with the existing wall, I feel that by patching the holes it will be very visible.
Ellos si son profesionales.They really seem like professionals at stucco work.
Can you install those expansion joints on something like this for looks ?
Amazing videos! Can you recommend a good stucco company in Phoenix?
Great job guys quick question?? What kind of bonding agent donu use? And how does it do after a rain????thanks👌👌
The stucco bonds to the brown coat. Both cementitious. It’s a natural bond.
The guys working on this and their names remind me of all my uncles. Hahahahaha looking great guys.
It is impressive to see how you manage to almost not waste any material!
For a wall like that i would have at least 1 bucket full of stucco that ended on the ground!
Turned out beautiful
Real nice work
How do you make sure it doesn’t get hairline cracks in the smooth finish? Are hairline cracks always going to show up in smooth finish?
El compuesto ya Viene con el Color en Seleccion?
Puede uno hacer la orden solo para añadir Agua?
Your crew does great work!
Martin and Miguel are masters and artists. Can't find a machine to do this job the same way. Jaime will get there, watch the masters.
Great work does this finish crack a lot more often?
Very well done. I'm wanting to stucco my house with half stucco on the top part of the wall and the base done with real river stones to give it that country cottage cozy look.

If your old stucco has paint, use concrete glue, then stucco.
Great work! Great video!! It’s great to see experienced craftsman.
Awesome work.. any way I can get a shirt lol.. love the logo.. good job
Yes, me too.
Cuestión, ahh which stucco and base should I use for a best result. Hope you answer me bro !!!!!!
Clean work. Most stucco guys leave concrete and stucco drops everywhere
Donde consigues ese material cemento grasias
Will this smoothing process work placing over painted existing stucco on my cinder block wall ? What tools were used to do the smooth finish ?
I loved the video and subscribed. I want to become a GC/developer for my self so trying to learn a little about everything so I can start doing this on my own properties. Thank you.

Confused on the bag of 'plastic cement' to 19 shovels sand? Is that the name of the product at home Depot? Plastic Cement? I see lots of "Surface bonding cement" but you just add water?? Thank you if can clarify
Does the trowel have to be magnesium to get super flat? Nice work btw
How long do you let the first coat dry before putting the color coat ???
Good job, man!...I'm doing a gazebo with smooth stucco. How many days should I have to wait before applying my polybon netting? Also, how many days should I wait after my netting gets installed before applying smooth finish. Any Info is well appreciated thanks
Why is it different colors after it dried? Did the added water from spray bottle change the mix?
Hello this is awesome how much would a cynder block wall cost. 1700 sq ft. smooth finish like this?
Do I have to apply concrete sealer right after that?
