This week, we sat down with Richard and Griffin to talk about one of the most common questions in stucco: cracks.

We discuss the different types of stucco cracks, what causes them, how to tell them apart, and why some are more significant than others. Not every crack is a cause for concern, but knowing what you're looking at can make all the difference.

Whether you're a contractor, inspector, or property owner, this episode offers practical insight from years of field experience to help you better understand what stucco cracks can tell you about a building.

Chris's passion for the industry and commitment to sharing his knowledge continue to make a lasting impact on those around him.

In Episode #6 of Plastered by Simpson, Richard and Griffin sit down for an honest conversation about family business, generational growth, and how the construction industry has evolved over the last two decades. From old-school craftsmanship and relationship-based work to today’s fast-paced, technology-driven job sites, they break down what’s changed — and what still matters most. The two also share personal insights on working together as family, carrying forward a legacy, and building a business that can grow with the next generation.

In Part 2 with Wendy Madden, we dive deep into one of the most divisive issues in America: immigration. From border security and undocumented workers to cheap labor, driver’s licenses, business demands, and the true economic impact of immigration, this conversation challenges narratives on both sides. We discuss whether great companies are being built on exploited labor, why businesses keep pushing for reform, and what a fair immigration system could actually look like.
