Hello, our faithful subscribers and plasterers around the world!.
This video is titled, Stucco/Plastering, heavy sand finishes smooth, hides, or covers stucco textures mistakes. Or Stucco/Plastering, bad stucco finishes/textures, fix ugly textures with sand finishes.
As it’s sooooo true, while paint enhances flaws in stucco.
Most folks think if you keep adding paint, the texture will blend in, it won’t.
In fact, adding more paint to stucco or plastering mismatched texture will make them even more noticeable.
If you have this problem with your stucco, it’s best to hire a stucco company with a lot of time in. Try googling “Stucco plastering companies or services near me,” to get an experienced stucco dude, as to understand all the if and or buts as well, takes some time in.
Unfortunately or fortunately, I have many years into this one trade, what a country!
FYI, This heavy sand finish is asked for by more commercial properties for a good reason. It’s exquisite.
Remember, don’t get mad or remove the stucco. Instead, apply another finish. Your bad stucco texture mistakes can be fixed with a sand stucco finish.
A BIG NOTE: 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! 🍿

Thanks for the vid Kirk and Fam!!
Nice color coat curt
Great video as always! The owner of the house is lucky to have you for the job and I am sure he will be very pleased with the final result. Greetings from Europe (Belgium).
you make it look eazyAF!
A fellow plasterer from the uk i wish you and your family well love the videos
@darren cliff Thank you, Darren and my friends and fellow plasterers from the UK.
We must be hustling well to impress hard-working dudes like you guys.
Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Alright, Kirk, I first watched the video you filmed of you plastering your little nook with lime. I have a cousin that owns a lime rock quarry, and he's going to provide me with all the lime rock I want, I'm creating a little village settlement and want to make a lime rock stone wall like in England. What would I use to bind the wall? I'm sure you know what I'm speaking of because your dear mate is British—any suggestions. I'd be tickled with any suggestions. I know it's going to be a massive undertaking, but I am quite jolly! Cheers from Florida!
My brother LOUUUUUU
Get yourself some of the wooster sherlock roller frames and poles and you you can roll that bondcoat on like a pro painter.
Those are the best. Prevents the roller sleeve from moving.
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Thanks mate it sure came up good.
Just completed my backyard block wall adobe stucco project. Thanks Kirk!
That came out great as usual Kirk!
Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Kirk I promise you that if I were a young kid again, I would move to California and badger and beg you until you took me under your wing and taught me everything you know..lol. Plastering is so gratifying to see what your starting with and how it looks when your finished…
Howdy Kirk! I really like the Blue/gray color it looks amazing! I've been watching your videos for a few years love'em! Just for entertainment and general learning, I work on computers. My house is from 1952 with real thick rock on the exterior. What kind of contractor would be best to fix grout issues? Is that just a mason at that point? Sorry for off topic just thought I would get your experience on this. Here is a picture that gives you an idea of how thick the rock is: https://imgur.com/ldNHl2w You can see the depth of the rocks on the side of the windows. (Note: The picture is a bit distracting from the rock, this is my first attempt at repairing my window from rot. I used wood hardener, then wood bond (This was taken after the first coat of wood bonding before sanding and another coat to fill level it out) then I'll paint. It's a temp fix before we get all the windows replaced they are like 84 by 32 inches so that is costly and will need to be done after other projects.
Is there a mortar mix that will stick rocks to a concrete board wall or do you have to use some kind of liquid nails type adhesive? Thanks
we call it Ghousting over the pond here in the UK Kirt 🙂
You always do a very good job I learned how to do stucco buy watching your videos thank you for sharing your knowledge God bless
Is it OK to stucco coat over painted stucco. What's the procedure? Thanks Kirk.
Betcha that brick planter on the front of the house is a disaster in the making – guaranteed it is improperly flashed/waterproofed and will transfer moisture thru the/siding. Either a clueless homeowner or a shambolic hack unlicensed 'contractor'
Hmm side of my house has about a foot of missing stucco and it’s into a styrofoam type insulation… that birds have started taking off to their nests lol ima fix it eventually i think you guys are going to help 🙂 subscribed
A great days work there Kirk … I always hated that outside work on hot days here in the UK …. Not sure HOW your gang do it, day in day out in your heat 🙂
Good Job Captain Kirk (once again) Bravo ! How about a small footage of the pressurewash just to give us an idea of whats happening us ''mortals'' , maybe 10 secs ? Greetings from Hellas (Greece)
The devil is in the details. Thanks Kirk for demonstrating proper procedure. When a contractor tells me, "We've done it this way hundreds of times" I tell them I'm not interested in how many mistakes you've made.
if I was the home owner I would have that cable tv wire disappear . Like run it thru attic anddown the inside wall with wire molding.
Kirk my brother you still need to stucco my house in Phoenix this fall, always enjoy your videos, just saying motor on.
Another gold mine from Kirk, many thanks and best to you and your family.
Gosh I wish I could just transplant your know how to my small brain 🙂 I know a ton about construction, IT, Welding, Nuclear stuff, Diving and military stuff but boy you rock and make it look so easy 🙂 Great job bro. Keep it between the lines 🙂
The coolest man in the plaster business.
LOVE IT WHAT A TRANSFORMATION BET THE HOME OWNER WAS OVER THE MOON , ANOTHER ONE IN THE BAG FOR THE KIRK MASTER.
Good looking job, Kirk and team
Hi Kirk. I don't do this stuff anymore (old) but can't help watching. Worked in Saudi many desert moons ago so now won't do anything in the sunshine. Hate being in over 70 deg, (in your money). So well done. UK,
Two dislikes? What’s up with that? There is nothing but positive information here and Kirk and family present it all in a good light hearted way.
Some people are just miserable and karma will come and bite them in the butt. I’ve never heard a not nice thing said here about anyone, actually everyone is very kind to each other.
I’ve applied some of the techniques I’ve learned here and it made the job easier as well as a much finer end product and very happy customers.
All of the Giordano crew are awesome. Just my $.02.
Yo Kirk! Does that back belt really work? My back kills me when I'm bending over working on projects…
Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Hmm I’m going to invest in one! Thanks!
@Cesar Hernandez these back braces make the difference in sore backs, keep in mind plastering tweaks your spin as one hand holds 30 to 40 pounds and the other takes off ten pounds at a time, to this 5,000 time a day and viola, a tweaked spine.
Yo kirk when do you need a wood float
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. thank u kirk
Hello! Can you help?! I have, what I believe is a stucco skim coat over plywood. It is cracking and peeling. Any suggestions for how to repair?
Can you put a cement coat over an acrylic stucco? Our painted cinderblock building was coated with acrylic base coat as binder. We had wanted cement stucco.
Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. thank you. Is an application of Weld-Crete or Quikrete before proceeding adequate prep work?
Im a painter and I do the same thing…. Try to work my crew in the shade and after lunch work the other side. Work smart not hard.
NOW THAT IS A STUCCO GUY 22:46 no margin trowel and he still gets it tight. Back up your trowel. Like a pro.
Man, you are amazing. Explaining how to fix all the sloppiness of others, and then fixing the fence against the wall, saving them time, effort and money as well as looking like it should. Really impressive, sir.
maestro excelentes acabado saludos desde perú
Hi, dude, why didn't wear mask???
Hey Kirk, thanks for sharing these videos! They are awesome. I live in Minneapolis and I have a heavy texture finish (kind of like Whipping cream) on my house. Is it possible to change to a smooth finish? Thank you!
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Thank you! I lived out in Alameda for a few years before I moved Minneapolis. Near the decommissioned naval base. Hopefully, there are some quality plaster contractors like yourself here.
Captain Kirk got me saying my brother LOUUU and a don't even have a brother named LOUUU lol. Excellent video Sir
Thank you Mr. Giordano.
What a fog coat repair video
Do you have to put bonding before apply new stucco?
Really appreciate this channel . I've learned much. Thanks.
You guys are the best! Wish you were in San Diego. Very informative videos. Well done!
wonderful video!
Nice 1 Kirk nice to see a pro at work
Thanks for the video. Could you add a pressure washer to your recommended tools list?
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Thank you so much! Are you still using the turbo tip as well?
@Aaron Alt Hi Aaron, I always use that turbo tip, I like the figure 8 it makes, I'm kidding, it really increases the pressure to save me half the time.
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Hi Kirk, thanks so much again! I'm looking to purchase my first power washer so this helps. Although I'm doing smaller patches I want to make sure it's not falling off in a couple years. Cheers!
The King of Suave!
Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Anytime Kirk! Love the videos.
Kirk . Actually you can also brush sika latex power Just like you do the welde and it works…
(name differs from country to Country)
However.. the entire process is not nearly as easy nor effective as welde Crete usage.
I think I can confidently say that after delving into all the technical Data sheets of both products.
Shame they only sell welde in US
How to wash stucco. Get rid of black or green stuff.
Great video as usual great explanations mainly you keep things basic and use ethics in your materials and probably have a fantastic reputation because of that Any chance you worked with a Icf foam block bonding stucco to it interested in learning about that
is it okay to use weld-crete over a washed painted stucco wall and then use a finish coat from la habra? would it adhere to it well? i ask because La Habra recommends not to use it over a painted surface.
Hey Kirk have you worked with any Interior Acoustical Plaster Ceiling Systems, example StarSilent by Pyrok ?
Ty Kirk I did my own stucco
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. your an amazing Youtuber! Thank you for the replies I got slammed into a wall in the ER been at home nursing it and your videos rock. Bless your family!! I hope all is well for all!
Hey Kirk I have a quick question, why does my texture look thicker than the other when I do a patch?
Hi Kirk, what do you recommend using as weep screed for a round tower I am stuccoing?
I woke up, this night I'm an EMT and got rocked
Thank you for your videos
Quick question: can you use LaHabra sand color agent in other-branded stucco finishes?
Nice work as usual Kirk and Team! I was wondering if you have ever done a "stucco over drywall" job like this and if you did a video? https://youtu.be/nslxIx5yVlI
Kirk be safe always
Hahaha lets fix this nonsense…
I have poured basement walls that are a walkout basement (10 year old pour). The forms were just pulled off and you can clearly see the form marks. We went to a local building supply store (not a box store) and were shown a product called Tammscoat. There aren't many videos online about the product but at $150/5 gallon bucket I wanted to know if you have ever used it and if so will the sand based version of this product be thick enough to hide the form marks or will I need to put a thin coat of stucco/mortar over it first?
I'm in Upstate/Central NY or I would hire you to do it! 🙂
Here's a picture of what I'm trying to cover, so I can finish my back hill with some retaining walls and a patio:

Hey Kirk! This video premiered on my wedding anniversary. We were married on 07/17/1977 (gotta love those sevens). Anyway, our house (1960), was stuccoed in 2014 and it now looks like crap! Yeah!! 8 years later! (shoddy contractor work). We want to redo the entire house and we don't know if traditional or acrylic is the way to go? Like you said @ 37:17 seconds (which ironically has the numbers "7 &17" in it, "I'm going to be Pushing Up Daisies". Well, I don't know how old you are, but I'm almost 68 years old. I'm trying to make it to 98 years old (before I'm "pushing up daisies"). Since you're in the Bay Area (which BTW is where I grew up and graduated from Berkeley High School and then California State University, Easy Bay in Hayward), I trust that you will tell me EXACTLY what we should do with our house ? With so many videos, my head is swimming and I certainly don't want to get ripped off this time around. Here is my email: coltranefire@gmail.com. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (like that James Brown song), let me know which way we should go. I trust your judgement and will go with whatever you recommend! Continued success for you and your family. Look forward to hearing from you:)
Can you
Hi. We just had our stucco done on a new house today. It is suppose to be a very light grey (European twilight) but the stucco looks white to cream color. Does stucco get darker with time? Thanks in advance
Kirk,
I have a stucco chimney that is up against aluminum siding. The caulk is starting to crack (I recently purchased my home). What is the best caulk to apply after I chip away all the old caulk? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Mike
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Thank you very much.
Hey bro/ you are the master! I would have tried to talk him into going over that brick with stucco- it looks terrible and the colors are not meant to be. The blue bonding agent would have looked better! Anyway, y’all take care in Cali, and keep setting the standard for the rest of us! Peace. Chad in ATL
Ur a trip bro , have Lou in the back to keep him out your way , funny stuff bro , ! DUI channel , funny fucker
Hi kirk… I offer you greetings and admiration. Delicate and brilliant work.
So funny when he says "aggregate out"
Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Love your work and I always watch your videos. You are so talented and experienced and you make it interesting at the same time.
Kirk, after watching about 10 of your videos, I realized they are addictive. Glad there are many more to watch.
Hi Kurt question do you ever drag with a straight edge hen cement plastering
Hey Kirk!
Have you ever done a "Fog Coat"? El Rey sells it and I was wondering about it.
Your videos are very good. Thank you.
You guys are amazing, I hope I can hire you for my project when we are ready.
Thanks for what you do here.
Hi we are wanting our house stuccoed what is the most newest common stucco style to get ?
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. do you have any with the lace stucco finish?
In Southern Cal, the newest trend is colored Smooth Coat or "Santa Barbara Finish". You need to find a really good Plasterer, as good a Kirk though! Otherwise it will crack and looked terrible….
The 16-20 texture is top shelf! Good masonry, overall.
Thanks Kirk! btw, How are you keeping your white shirts clean? I am preparing to recolor coat my home, and appreciating your tips and demonstrations.
You got to keep them aggregrated !! HEAH !! When you coat with 200 base, tint it up. You won't have to paint it !! YEAH !!
16:08 when talent recognizes talent
Would like to see a quick walkaround after it was completely dry. should stop by 1 day after these jobs are done and take some photos for a slideshow at the end of the video!
