I have looked for days to find a supplier of stucco materials for an
extensive repair on my house in Central Virginia. I've tried Lowes,
Home Depot, a local concrete company, and extended my search even into
the nearest bigger city (Richmond). I can't seem to find any place
that sells any of the basic materials (mix, colorants, wire mesh,
etc). I know that I can prepare many of these materials myself, but
I've been advised to use the products that are specially designed for
stucco...


Does anyone know of a place that carries these items?


Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Greetings,


I know that Home Depot sells these materials in PA. Perhaps a local
Home Depot would be willing to special order it for you?


Hope this helps,
William


I only checked the Home Depot website -- not the actual store. I
assumed that the inventory would match the website. I'll try calling
them.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Greetings,

I think you should be able to order a single 2x4x16 online ... or a
bag of crushed gravel, but Home Depot and Lowes think they shouldn't
allow you to order anything with too high a ratio of shipping to cost-
of-product. They also close their doors at night while full of
shoppers in places they have a "local-monopoly". However, they do
quite well so I guess it must be what the consumer demands.

Good Luck!
