There are a lot of plastering contractors in the world. There are also a lot of plastering firms where it is a family affair to make the business run. The plastering industry is full of family contracting firms where each family member has a role; supervisor, general manager, accountant and purchaser are some of the common roles in these firms. Kirk Giordano Plastering Inc., a family contracting firm based in Alameda, Calif. is a little different. The Giordano family shares similar roles as other firms, but add to the list titles, such as cameraman, audio supervisor, editing director and host.
Besides being a licensed California contracting firm, the Kirk Giordano family has posted more than 600 videos on YouTube with DIY plastering and stucco tips. With a rapidly growing number of over 17,000 subscribers, they have developed a strong following online with their videos on lath and plastering. These videos are a family endeavor as Kirk’s sons Jason, Carl and Dan run the scenes behind the camera, and his two daughters, Lulie and Madeleine, who are plasterers as well, can be seen in some videos applying stucco alongside their dad.
