Where can I buy stucco materials (mix, colorants, wire mesh, etc)
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. -Chess |

Hope this helps, William |

The big box stores are not the be all and end all of building supplies. You need someone who specializes in concrete/masonry supplies. a quick google search yields http://www.southsidebuilders.com/history.asp in Richmond. Why don't you try calling them. If they don't have it, I bet they know who does. |

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! |
