Repair concrete and stucco foundation

Repair concrete and stucco foundation.
Stucco applications and other tips.

Howdy folks, we're explaining how to repair your cement concrete foundation and existing stucco after installing new pavers or concrete in your driveway.
Note that you can use a strong cement plaster for everything; however, there are PSI strength differences between cement mortars and stucco.
FYI, We used the "Cement-All," for the corner and the "Stucco patch," for the stucco patch.
Both of these products are sold at Home Depot and Lowes.
FYI, What is stucco? It's usually Portland cement mixed with sand. Whats Concrete? It's usually Portland cement mixed with rocks. What's Cement? Cement is the binder, or you can call it an "adhesive or additive" that binds the materials. Just saying.
If you want fast-setting stucco, buy "Rapid Set Stucco" at Lowe's or Home Depot. It has 16/20 sand or what is known as heavy sand.
If you want fast-setting stucco with finer sand, I'd recommend Super High Yield Mortar, "Greencore USA," also sold at Home Depot.
In the two videos below, we are using finer cement sand or aggregate.

    Love the video as always. That Cement All stuff is super strong, also the other thing about it is it has way better adhesion to the old concrete than other mixes or products. The old concrete will break and deteriorate before your patch ever does! Also, really smart on preaching how important the prep is, like the nice pressure washing you did. No product will ever work without that level of prep and so few people realize that.

    Compressive strength isn't problem in concrete either it's tensile strength what should be good and even that rapid set has a much lower tensile strength. Because if there is moisture in concrete or in that patch and it gets frozen ice that forms tries to push everything apart and then it's all about tensile strength.

    Howdy Pork Chops Dude, different states call what we do different things. For example, type in Cement companies or services in my area, perhaps you may get a better response, depending on the state you are in. As Stucco, Exterior plastering, and Cement plastering all have their own states or countries where they call or title what they do differently. It does get a bit confusing.

  • @StuccoPlastering

    @StuccoPlastering

    7 ай бұрын

    Good morning, are you referring to a quality caulking for the cracks? If so I'd recommend sikaflex 1A as it's an adhesive sealant. It should only be applied to a surface clean enough to eat off, or it won't adhere. Nothing adheres to. dirty or. dusty surfaces, except spider webs. To refinish concrete, Id recomend Poly-Bond, but it's a cementitious adhesive cement only found at Plastering yards. Plusoly-Bond involves slacking which most may not understand how to use. Thus for a more user friendly concrete finish can be found at HD and Lowes stores.

    Howdy Black Jack, I recommend you google “Plastering contractors” in your area. This may help you decide. This search may also bring up “yelp” Theirs is a paid subscription, so their reviews may be more biased than Google's; however, you can scroll and read through the Yelp reviews. Hopefully, with the help of both reviews apps, you will find the best fit for your needs. If you’re still unsure, ask to view their completed jobs or repairs and, if possible, speak directly with their past clients. Cheers.👨‍🏫
