This company does some shoddy work!

They were hired to do patch repairs to the stucco in our condominium community. During the process it became apparent that RE s crew didn t seem to know how to match or feather in stucco finish. When approached about the new stucco finish being different from the original, and the patched look it would leave, they insisted that once painted, the patching would not show. That's ridiculous! Two different finishes will reflect light differently, making the same paint appear different shades. This should be common knowledge for ANYONE purporting to be an EXPERT in finish work. Repeatedly approached about this problem, they simply dismissed the terrible mess they were in the process of making and continued patching with a trowel, creating more of a worm/knockdown finish, against the original, which is more of a sprayed sand finish.

Once it was all painted, of course, the patchwork stick out like a sore thumb.
The patched finish reflects MANY shades lighter than the original stucco finish, as was warned. They were also clearly unqualified to feather in the new finish, leaving hard lines between new and old stucco (see Photos). Even though they assured us they were qualified to match and blend the patchwork, they either did not have the expertise, or they simply didn t care enough to provide quality workmanship.

EVERY building in our community has the same blotchy patchwork in the same places, as shown in the photos. Plus big mismatched patches on the walls below the roof lines.
