My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Steve,
    The raised detail around the windows was created using polystyrene foam. Our team cuts the foam on site, then applies it using fiberglass mesh and a special stucco mixture with adhesive properties.
    You can purchase foam “plant on” details from home improvement stores with the fiberglass mesh and initial stucco coat already applied. These pre-fab pieces can be applied with liquid nails or mechanically fastened.
    Both methods require at least one more top coat of stucco to finish the detail.
    Happy Thanksgiving!
