Hey guys. We share an awesome money saver and trowel-on alternative. Watch to see the cost and finish comparisons. Also if you are interested in stucco check out Diamond Paints, Appli-Tex or RCM Construction. Remember to give us a 👍🏽
Great share Sash...I am at this stage in my renovation so the options between Trowel on and Stucco is greatly appreciated...not to mention the financial impact....you go girl...glad me no oonug👏
Madd a God send u..I have a 1bd, kitchen n bath that I was planning to paint..but look like Dwayne n Andre going to get the Stucco work. Thanks for the contact details..I see Royal learning to showell on.
House coming on beautiful! I was planning on using the same gray to do the outside of my house but in Showel on. Thanks for the money saving ideas, I'm gonna go stocco!
Our community also demands a specific set of colours of trowel on. We didn't think of using both paint and trowel on. It's an option worth considering.
Stucco...I've always seen it on HGTV but never thought of using it instead of the trowel on. It pays to have knowledgeable workers. Wow. The stucco works... my only concern is finding paint that matches the required trowel on colours at my place.
Same here, we always see stucco being used on HGTV, however we didn’t realize stucco was available locally. We had the exact paint code for our complex so it was easy to match the color. All the best in finding the exact color.
Wonderful information!...why not mix the paint with the stucco(since stucco require water) and do one application, instead of applying the stucco then paint it.
Thanks for watching Michael. The stucco we had was a concrete colour, so it would definitely change the colour of the paint. Also, if we got the white stucco we would require a lot more paint to get that rich green that the paint alone would give. We are aware that you can get the trowel-on mixed in the colour you desire but the cost was over our budget.
This was very informative and helpful. I am currently building and your videos have assisted me ALOT. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you guys all the best
We used 9 buckets of Trowel on and then bought 3 box of stucco. The stucco is cheaper and gives more coverage, however you have to add water and mix it, trowel on comes premixed already.
Thanks for the video. Very useful information on material cost. What I can’t remember you speaking about is labour cost. How does the labour cost of trowel on compare to stucco given that you will require payments to apply the stucco then again to apply the paint?
At the time the labour cost was $5,500 per bucket of trowel on/stucco. Also to note, we didn’t have to render our external walls smooth, so we had saved on that material and labour cost.
Why will you use two different method on the same wall...you should of used just one texture....this is a nice house....but why are you playing with it to spoil it up? I see the different and it does not look good. Next time please don't play with for trial and error sake on a real wall...I don't like the two textures being on the same wall..this will have to be redone
Hello Vincy. Thanks for your comment. We were not playing for trial and error. We got the recommended texture to match the area but it still did not match. Could be a difference in brand. We’re not sure what happened there, however we have no intention of redoing it. Thanks for the suggestion though. The area where we used the stucco is a different area and you cannot notice the difference there. Happy that you could watch and learn from our “mishaps” so the same will not happen to you when you’re doing your own home.
@@HackedbyEbanks sounds good...hopefully I did not sound too harsh..but you know when you love something and love the progress and I guess just want to see perfection continued right to the end....but still looking good!! I was just like oo men!! Why they could not just go with one lol
Looking 🙂only thing ! It was a shame you painted the trowel on ! Because now you will be painting for the rest of thé life of the house as the paint will only last 10 to 15 years max ! And thé trowel on is a life time finish thé tint in it also !! So i dont think you have saved anything at all more thé contrary 😔longterm the original finish would work out much cheaper than repainting regulary labour + materials better to have paiid the extra for the tinted trowel on and not have spend a lifetime of painting cost !!!
Hey Richard thanks for watching. Actually trowel on needs retouching every 10years too as the colour will fade. This was the case with the first layer that was on this house. Also the strata may or may not change the colour within that time.
We appreciate being featured in your video. Thank you for getting the word out👍

Great information, I will definitely consider stucco for my exterior walls.
Great share Sash...I am at this stage in my renovation so the options between Trowel on and Stucco is greatly appreciated...not to mention the financial impact....you go girl...glad me no oonug👏
Glad to help Juliet and if we knew about it before we would have definitely gone with stucco only. Big savings.
You guys shed a lot of light on the stucco vs trowel on question thanks🤗
Yes. The stucco is a bit more work because you have to paint it but for your house you would save a lot of money.
Madd a God send u..I have a 1bd, kitchen n bath that I was planning to paint..but look like Dwayne n Andre going to get the Stucco work. Thanks for the contact details..I see Royal learning to showell on.
Yes no problem Robert. Stucco a the new thing fi jamaica.
Nice progress...
House coming on beautiful! I was planning on using the same gray to do the outside of my house but in Showel on. Thanks for the money saving ideas, I'm gonna go stocco!
No problem Sash. Stucco all the way. If only we knew before!
Very informative

Based on the cost it definitely is. Hopefully you can find the correct paint bcz this big savings.

How much does it cost ? Per bucket or sq yard for labour cost?
This was very informative and helpful. I am currently building and your videos have assisted me ALOT. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you guys all the best
Happy to help. Thanks so much and All the best with your home as well
I have a question. My recent build the ceiling is not as smooth as I would like is there a product I can use for that to get it smoother?
You can get it finished by plastering with compound. That should get it smooth
How many buckets did you guys use for the application?
We used 9 buckets of Trowel on and then bought 3 box of stucco. The stucco is cheaper and gives more coverage, however you have to add water and mix it, trowel on comes premixed already.
Did you render the wall before you did the stucco?
Hi, we did not render the walls, we did roughcast and before it dried they made it smooth enough. Not as smooth as if we rendered.
Really nice. Thanks for sharing. Do your workers do external texturized concrete (e.g. for a driveway/patio)?
Hi, our pleasure for sharing. They don’t do texturized concrete for floors, however you could contact Amazing Concrete
May I have a contact for the person you used for stucco
Hi to painting and showle on and also stucco blue renovations construction services

@@HackedbyEbanks and to paint?
@@andrewaugh5710 $15,000
I liked the white. Don’t like those colours at all. Especially the green. The grey is ok. Love the series though really informative and good tips.
I LOVED the white too but when you have HOAs you just have to work with it sometimes. Thanks for watching!!
Where can I get a box of stucco mix to buy?
You can check Diamond Paints, Appli-tex or RCM Construction. All are in Kingston though.
Beautiful house but spoiled as you really need to address texture mis match over window frame and previous blocked out window.
