Additional Questions Answered
What sets AE Stucco Painting Remodeling apart when it comes to stucco repair craftsmanship?
Customers describe a level of precision that goes beyond patching and repainting. Alexander Bohn noted Anthony was able to "match the stucco pattern and paint perfectly" on a previously botched repair. Camille Calvert praised "stucco texturing and paint matching skills" that left her hurricane-damaged wall looking brand new. The company uses a modern scratch-and-brown system with fiberglass reinforcement and finishes with 100% elastomeric coating for lasting waterproof protection.
How does AE Stucco handle communication and daily project updates with homeowners?
A consistent theme across reviews is proactive, detailed communication. Spencer Berthelsen wrote that "at the beginning of each day, Anthony touched base with me to let me know what would be done." Frank Morris described the crew calling "every morning when they're on their way." Rhonda Murphy noted the crew "communicated their plans for the day" and left everything clean at day's end. Anthony personally oversees each project and remains available by phone after hours.
What do customers say about AE Stucco's pricing compared to competitors?
Several reviewers describe receiving quotes well below other contractors. Tiffani L. reported a price "nearly half what some of our neighbors have paid for similar stucco and painting work." Alexander Bohn received pricing "several thousand less than the quote I received from the stucco company that previously worked on my house." Steve Scharpf found the job "less expensive (considerably so in one case) than estimates provided by some of his competitors."
How does AE Stucco's in-house crew approach impact project quality and accountability?
Anthony employs a dedicated team of full-time craftsmen rather than rotating subcontractors. Pat Schier highlighted that there were "no subcontractors involved" and that "two men worked 9am to 6pm taking care and pride in their work." Spencer Berthelsen confirmed the crew was "comprised of his full-time employees who were hard-working, skilled stucco and painting craftsmen." Klaas Koster described the team "working ten hour days six days a week" to complete a two-week project.
What paint products and application methods does AE Stucco Painting Remodeling use?
The company uses premium-grade materials throughout. Spencer Berthelsen identified the specific products as "Sherwin Williams Conflex stucco paint and Emerald trim and ceiling paint" and noted "these are the best paints you can get." Pat Schier emphasized that everything was "roller and brush painted" with "two coats of paint on everything to seal and waterproof." The website confirms all work is done by brush and roller for complete coverage into stucco texture.

Stacie Prescott declared they "will only touch my home," signaling long-term loyalty. Gary Chang stated he would "definitely use him again in the future."
