Stucco repair, step by step, for Andover Lakes homes

The points below shape the stucco repair we recommend in Andover Lakes, and each one appears in your estimate.

Cutting back to sound stucco

Loose and badly cracked stucco has to come off before new material can bond. The Park Service guidance describes removing deteriorated stucco down to the lath, or down to the masonry where the stucco was applied directly.

We cut back only as far as the stucco is actually loose, and we take care not to crack the good finish beside it while removing the bad. The final size of each repair area is shown to you before new coats go on. Any extra area found once the loose material is out is shown to you and priced before we go further.

The finish coat and texture work

The last coat carries the texture and, on unpainted stucco, the color. It is worked to match the existing surface with floats, sponges or brushes depending on the texture.

We test the finish on a small area first when the texture is unusual. You can see the test before the full repair is finished, and we adjust until it reads right against the old stucco. The tools and the timing of the finish coat matter as much as the mix, which is why the same crew handles it start to finish.

Protecting plants, walls and walkways

Cutting out old stucco makes dust and debris, and fresh stucco splatters. We cover plants, windows, walkways and roof areas below the chimney before starting. Gutters directly below the chimney are checked too, since stucco dust and chips tend to collect there.

Mixing happens on protected ground, and the area is cleaned at the end of each visit. That protection and cleanup are included in the price you approve. If a plant has to be tied back to reach the chimney, we ask before touching it.

The face that takes the most rain

One face of a chimney usually takes more wind-driven rain than the others, and that face tends to show cracks and staining first. Streaks, dark staining and more cracks on one side are the usual clues to which face that is.

We compare the faces during the inspection. If the damage is concentrated on one side, the repair and any coating can focus there instead of covering the whole chimney. A focused repair on the damaged face can save a good part of the cost of treating all four.

Answers about chimney stucco for Andover Lakes homeowners

If your stucco question is not here, our Andover Lakes team is a phone call away.

What causes rust stains on chimney stucco?

Usually corroding metal inside the finish, such as lath, fasteners or corner bead. Painting over the stain hides it only for a while. We find the rusting metal, replace it in the repair area and rebuild the stucco around it.

Is stucco chimney repair covered by a warranty?

The work we perform is covered by our workmanship warranty, with the terms written into your estimate. Our 100% satisfaction guarantee also applies, so if something is not right, we come back and fix it.
