"I hired JLF Construction to finish some spackle and paint our nursery. I wish I never did. I had Jose come out to give a quote. He looked everything over and immediately shot of a price way too high for what the scope of work was. I was providing all materials and tools just needed labor. I told him we would think it over and get back to him. From that day on he continued to harass me with phone calls and texts wanting me to hire him. Finally I explained we felt the price was too high and we'd be getting additional quotes. He then negotiated down to what I thought was a fair price and we hired him. He sold me on how he had over 40 years of experience. Showing pictures of work he recently completed that we liked. We set up a day for him to come out and do the work. I was working when he had the availability and my wife was home. She text me saying there were 3 people here total and she didn't think it was going too well. She said she thinks I need to look everything over but he was demanding payment and wouldn't leave. I text Jose and explained I wouldn't agree to pay until I was home to see the work completed. To my amazement when I got home the room looked awful. He had let his 20 year old son who had no experience cut in the paint. Lines weren't straight, paint on my ceiling in some areas and other areas paint didn't even go all the way up the wall and it wasn't a double coat cut in. The white paint under showed through where they cut in. I immediately called Jose expressing my concerns and he started threatening me, insulting me and telling me I want something for nothing. He threatened to come to my house the next day. My wife who is pregnant was afraid so I agreed to just pay him. He then offered to send his son back out but he refused to come fix it himself since he wasn't the one who did the cutting in. I refused. I was so disappointed after seeing all of his great reviews. I wish I never came across his business. We had to pay a professional painter to come out and fix the issues. Luckily they didn't try to change and arm and a leg. If I could tell anyone to look elsewhere when considering these guys I would. Also, just a side note he had his sons wash out the paint in my yard causing my grass to die. I had them on camera the entire time doing it and asked multiple times to please stop since I pay for lawn treatments. This entire experience ended up costing me more than what we budgeted."

My name is Patsy Cicala Jr., I am the recipient of the Super Service Award for 2016 -2022 from Angie's List. BEST WAY TO GET IN TOUCH IS pcicala1@gmail.com, or call 302-245-5606. I retired here 11 years ago in Sussex County after a rewarding career in the field of Environmental Science and General Contracting in upstate New York. When you retire, you should have an exit plan.... I, however, am finding sitting down to read a book or taking a long stroll on the beach will result in either me being placed in a mental institution, or being shot by my wife (she says I am driving her crazy). Therefore, after renovating three homes in the area, I have decided to offer my services as a handyman. My wife says that I can do small repairs including bathrooms, kitchens, and small additions, porches and decks, Check out my Photo Gallery to see if I can fulfill your needs
"I was very pleased with Something Constructive. Patsy is a great guy, very personable, and you quickly feel like family. He is creative, has a keen eye, and is a great problem solver. He and his crew are great – so pleasant and respectful. I actually enjoyed seeing them each day! They work together well, are meticulous – the work quality is excellent, and they were very neat. My neighbors were very impressed with how nicely they maintained the area while working. Patsy and his crew stayed on schedule and he is really good at keeping you posted along the way. I highly recommend!!!"

The cost of Dryvit stucco varies depending on factors such as the size of your home, its design complexity, and the chosen finish options. Your stucco contractor can provide a precise quote based on the specifics and complexity of your project. Professional installation is crucial for maximizing the performance and ensuring the lasting durability of your stucco siding.
Maintaining your stucco is easy with a few simple steps. Periodically wash it with a garden hose, avoiding high-powered pressure washers that could damage the finish. Start from the bottom and spray upward, then rinse back down. Don't forget to regularly inspect your stucco for cracks or holes and repair them promptly to maintain its appearance.
The primary difference between stucco and parging lies in their purpose and application. Stucco is a full exterior wall finish that provides aesthetic appeal and insulation for your home. Parging, on the other hand, is a protective coating applied to foundations and lower walls to prevent moisture and pest infiltration. While parging focuses on structural protection, stucco offers a decorative and durable finish for entire walls.
Common issues with stucco include water absorption, which can lead to efflorescence— a white, powdery substance — cracking, and occasionally mold or stains in damp conditions. These problems often result from environmental factors or installation errors. Regular inspections and timely repairs can help keep your stucco in top shape and prevent costly damage.
The best type of stucco for extreme weather conditions is synthetic stucco. It offers enhanced durability and resistance to rapid temperature changes and extreme conditions. Synthetic stucco performs well in harsh climates, minimizing the risks of cracking and moisture penetration to ensure your home stays protected even in severe environmental conditions.
In addition to stucco, there are several alternative siding options to consider. These include metal, wood, brick, stone veneer, vinyl, and fiber cement siding. Each comes with unique benefits. For example, vinyl is cost-effective and low-maintenance, while wood provides a natural aesthetic. The best choice depends on your design preferences, durability needs, and maintenance considerations.
