Why not use a third stucco coat - color coat that lasts about 25 years?

If you get tired of the color you can still paint over it but will have to repaint about every 8 years.

Don’t use Oscar’s painting. Had him do our Lake Deaton house. Promised 2 coats but he missed areas on the 2nd coat and he won’t make good on it. He says he dosen’t see it. Don’t use him - he removes all the bad reviews on his website right away.

Our original paint lasted 12 years and could have gone longer but the other half was lobbying for color changes.

We had Investment painters use Sherwin Williams top line house paint.

I second this recommendation " Oscar's Painting " is the best around. Give the guy a shot

Oscar worked for the contractor who painted our new house-6+ years still good, used Oscar for small interior projects when he went into his own business=highly

WOW...5k to paint? We have a Lily....stucco. Took 5 gallons of paint.....rolled it on except around windows and soffit. Took my time....usually a couple hours a day. Took 5 days...2 coats...taped and removed tape with a total cost of just under $200 for paint and materials. Painted due to water stains from irrigation on 1 side of house. Did this in 2016. House built in 2012. Then again.. painting relaxes me.

Just had the outside of our house painted by Oscar. They didn’t go over the trim on the top and bottom of the house a second time and you can see the lighter shade. he didn’t want to fix it. The same thing inside the house - I didn’t see until afterward that in the hallway and wherever sunlight is coming through that I also see the lighter areas where they didn’t paint the second coat of trim as I have chair rail in the hallway And I can see clearly the area over the chair rail that isn’t covered good.

Correction. $4,000 to paint a Sanibel model.
Painting supposed to start Jan. 18 and I can’t wait. The builders paint started deteriorating a few years ago and no warranty help from TV.
