  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here!

Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year.

Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Well, at $1600 I'll stop pushing you to look at other options. Might be a bit cheaper but not enough to make me want to further test the wrath of David.

Just git er dunn!

I calculated the area to be covered at 60 sq ft. $5000 for that is just complete insanity.
 
If you consider that they need 500$ to arrive and set up and clean up, $1100 for the coverage isn't out of line. I was thinking at 1200$ here in Calgary, so it is in the ballpark.

It seems to me matching texture can be a very difficult thing in stucco. Now I've only had two stucco jobs done but the fellow that did my garage tried to match my house and he commented that the finish was a bit of a personal flair/technique thing.
Yours looks very very good match, maybe there is more standard procedures nowadays.
