Incredible and beautiful images of dash finished stucco
In this video, my son Jason and my daughter Madeleine are hands dashing the front of this spectacular home in San Fransisco, mid you, Stucco/Plastering Dash coting is a dirty business.
You can call what we’re doing, Re-Plastering a Facade, front or face all mean the same thing.
The fact is we are hand-throwing a stucco dash to match the original finish that was done 100 years prior.
Could I have used a matching to blow the stucco dash mud on, yes? However, I like to throw it on, less mess.
TIP: You may also type in any question you may have on Stucco/Plastering issues on our channel, and like magic, a video will appear to explain how it’s done. Then kick back, relax, and enjoy the show! 🍿

Be careful up there.
Morning James, no doubt, the scaffold set up on this job was one of the best I have yet to have worked on, 5 plank on each level, man, we were spoiled, it was like working from the ground.

I don't do well with heights. 🙂
Howdy James dude, if the scaffold is set properly you should feel as sound as if your walking on concrete, this staging was built extremely well by obvious professionals.
On another note, once up there and working you will get distracted from fears and instead focus on what you are up there to do.

Kirk. Why are you working in san Francisco
Howdy guys, close but no cigar, the upcoming video's will expalin why.
I really don't work for mere money anymore although it helps.
I took this project on to explain some details that made San Fransisco famose. thats the magnifacent facades of many of the structures and how they were built. these videos will be posted later as I have been asked about 40 times how woud I match a certain design, when the video's are ready that question will be answered.
I work usueally on projects I can contiue to show the methods that have taken me a lifetime to learn, I relly enjy this filty trade and like showing others how it's completed.

Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Hey Kirk dude. That explains my inability to figure pricing . You could easily screw yourself ,by under bid . Peace and love
Howdy Isaac, we learn by our mistakes, know what you're capable of and notice the access of where your working and think, how do I get the materials there and such.
Of course, you can learn like me on some things known as "trowel and Error,"

Best house on the block! Kirk plastered house stands king, above those wood sided houses.
Howdy Leo, when the scaffold is taken down, we planned on showing the full completion at the end of our top coating elastomeric acrylic finished video, that is already completed, the canvas took over any glory, so that will be filmed later.

Kirk don't work that cute daughter to hard man, she supposed to be on vacation. Oh yeah don't forget your cape up that high or o2 tank. Lol
Morning Duck Dude, as she is a Marine biologist, she worked in all the aquariums form Monetary to S.F bay aquariums feeding sharks in the tanks with them.
In fact, for earning extra dough, she would clean barnacles off the boats harbored in the S.F. Bay.
Madeleine was earning more than most men as they were paid by the boat, not the hour.
Madele would often come home saying how easy and fun it was to earn money, that she could scuba dive to do.
She's blessed with being tough as nails, naturally.

Do you brush with "fog coat" or anything similar to get the thick paint effect over texture?
Howdy dude, excellent question, we back rolled a few times as the elastomeric acrylic is we used was too thick to shoot on and I dint want to rish the high winds, that video will be coming soon.

what about a in ground 15 K swimming pool repair on steps ??? i just drained out 50% of water and did a cement repair with everyday portland & sand mix, i did add water to old surface so it will stick, and did a great job on the finish i also added a charcoal color mix to match black bottom color, now will this be fine with it under water forever ???
Howdy John, it's been over 30 years since we used to plaster swimming pools, I have no up to date knowledge of the materials now preferred.
If it were me I'd think I'd have used the same materials as this job, BMI's 690 reinforced fiber cement plaster, then an acrylic elastomeric colored finish coat by Stuco-Flex.
Again I have not plasterered a pool in over 30 yeras.

Hey Kirk dude. Philly auction house here. I can't imagine pricing that job. That must be a challenge. Lots of ppl. Plus the contours. Wow great job again. Peace and love
Howdy Isaac, we come aboard with some interesting challenges to work with, but nothing we couldn't handle.
The contours were my main reason for taking on this projects as normally we can't work in S.F. unless we want to spend on average 4 hours getting to and from.
That dammed bridge that was paid for 50 years prior, of course when we were crossing they had a terminal closed, instead of allowing all cars to go through uncharged, they blocked this terminal off creating a bottleneck that cost perhaps a million hours daily from all the travelers had to wait because.
The contours and how they were originally made and how they were replicated will be in a separate video.

Hey kirk is your daughter married .I think she is really beautiful
Jose Talavera haha knew I'd spit this type of comment
Howdy Josy, your a normal healthy man with an eye for beauty, some folks feel this is wrong or even wicked, my boy Napoleon Hill in his book written way back in 1935, "think and grow rich," explains a healthy attitude toward the opposite sex is a blessing, not a crime, that said, Madeleine, is married to a police officer who is also a fine fellow, the department needs more fellas like her hubby, Havi.

Howdy daniel Dude, we don't set scfold anymore so that drag was on another.
Usually young strong capable men do this stuff, at one time I did enjoy that, but those days have been gone long ago, plus I feel it's a waist of my talents to erct and dismantle scaffold.

Plastering and repair tips for your number one investment
Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. glad to hear you guys don’t do set up and tear down on scaffolding. I wish we had more Stucco work in MO, it’s almost all Efis. Foam, foam, and more foam.
Oh, well, it’s a paycheck. I definitely prefer Stucco. I envy you guys. Most of your jobs look like a blast. Take care Kirk!
Over here we have render guns that you fill with mortar and turn a handle that flicks the mortar out but tensioned spokes, kills the forearms , you make your way look easy but must have taken a lot of practice
Howdy Jay Dude, there was a time that used to create a burn in my forearms, those days are long past, I can do this 12 hours at this time with no burn, it's the getting filthy I'm not happy about.
Life as a plasterer, you have some clean jobs then some that are relly filthy.

Hi Curt love your videos. I have a question, I need to put about two inches of stacco, is it ok to apply the two inches in one coat?
Howdy Manuel, this can be done using Rapid set stucco, If it were me I'd apply one coat about an inch thick wait at least ten to fifteen minutes for the paper to suck up the excess moisture then apply your second coat.
The weather plays a factor if you're applying 1 inch to 6 inches too.

I've watched like 20 of your videos. About to attempt most of these techniques on my own house. painter for 30 years never done stucco. So I was just kinda wondering what's the best sacrificed at the gods of stucco alter. Seriously, you made me very confident about my ability to do this. Appreciate all your videos. As a long time member of the field of construction. I just wanna say thank you.
p.s. Go retire enjoy the family. You have more than earned it.

i assume were going to lose sylvester and get kirk back. speedy recovery my friend. I will send picks of progress on all stucco repairs
STUD.
Kirk,
My Wife and I enjoy watching you videos. We have had some damage to our building and were hoping you could give your opinion on the condition of our building after the City demolished our buildings footers with a machine mounted jack-hammer.
After the footers were destroyed we discovered cracks appearing on the wall where the jack-hammer was used. We never had any cracks like these before the damage was done to our foundation. Our concern is that the substrate for the stucco has been compromised by the racking of the building during the jack-hammer assault. Kinetic energy was transferred though the building as a result of the jack-hammer. The question is. How do repair this damage permanently? many have said that because the substrate has been damaged / compromised, the only repair that would be appropriate would be to completely strip the wall down to the wood and rec-construct the stucco. Their are parts of the building that need patching that are not related to the jack-hammer indecent. My question is focused on the wall that had the foundation jack-hammered out from under it. Below is a video of the how the wall was compromised.

Also here are images of the fractures that appeared after the foundation was destroyed.

Thank you for all the informative videos. I look forward to any comments / suggestions you may have.
Keith Conlisk
Evening Kieth, in my humble opinion, this is normal and of little consequence to the integrity of the stucco,
All stucco and or cementitious substrate will hairline with vibration.
Most homes will also crack with months of rain as the rainwater as this lifts a home then where dryer conditions occur the home settles, hence cracking.
I have done many video's explaining in detail why stucco cracks.
Your cracks should be filled with Mor-flexx caulking as it has sand in each tube.
Sorry for the late response but I answer when received.
