How our crew repairs chimney stucco in Colonialtown South
Where your own choices come in on a stucco job in Colonialtown South.
What an elastomeric coating can and cannot do
Elastomeric coatings are thick, flexible finishes. Sto, a coating maker, describes its elastomeric coatings as able to bridge hairline cracks and resist wind-driven rain.
They do not reattach hollow stucco or remove water already behind the finish. We repair loose areas and larger cracks first, then recommend a coating only where it suits the surface and the chimney. A coating over a sound, repaired finish is a sensible upgrade, while a coating over loose stucco only hides it until it falls.
Rusted corner bead and trim
Metal corner bead and casing bead give stucco edges their shape. Steel trim that rusts swells and cracks the stucco along the corner. Rust at a corner often shows first as a thin orange line along the edge before any stucco falls away.
We replace rusted trim in the repair area with corrosion-resistant parts, in keeping with the code's corrosion-resistance rule for lath and its attachments, and rebuild the edge straight and true. New corner bead is set plumb so the rebuilt corner lines up with the sound corners above and below.
Vines and shrubs touching the stucco
Plants growing against the chimney hold moisture on the finish, and roots or tendrils can work into cracks. The Park Service guidance names intrusive vegetation among the causes of stucco deterioration.
We point out contact areas and suggest trimming back before the repair day. We work around your plants with care and protect them while we cut and mix. Roots that have already opened cracks are removed carefully before the repair area is prepared.
Sealant joints where stucco meets other materials
Where stucco meets trim, siding, a roof cricket or a different wall finish, a flexible sealant joint usually closes the gap. Those joints dry out and split long before the stucco does.
We check each transition during the inspection and replace failed sealant as part of the repair. It is inexpensive work that keeps water out of the edges of the finish. Sealant is chosen to suit both materials at the joint, and the color is matched where it shows.

What Colonialtown South homeowners ask about stucco repair
Short answers from our stucco team in Colonialtown South. Call for anything not covered here.
What is chimney parging?
Parging is a thin mortar coat troweled over block or brick. It is lighter than a multi-coat stucco finish, so the repair follows whichever finish your chimney already has. We identify it during the free inspection.
Will my chimney need a full restucco?
Only if loose areas and failed patches cover so much of the finish that patching would not hold or would look worse. Many chimneys need only targeted repairs. When the choice is close, we price both options.
