The way we handle stucco chimneys in Lake Avalon
Plain answers about stucco work in Lake Avalon, from the crew that does it.
The stucco standards the Florida code names
The Florida residential code does not spell out stucco application step by step. It adopts ASTM C926 for applying portland cement plaster and ASTM C1063 or C1787 for lath, then adds its own rules on coats, lath and weep screeds.
Those standards, together with the instructions for the repair products we use, are the yardstick for the work on your chimney. We never claim a repair brings a whole existing chimney up to code, only that our own work follows the standards that apply to it. When a product's instructions are stricter than the general rule, we follow the product.
The scratch coat and the leveling coat
In a three-coat repair, the first coat is scratched with a comb so the second has something to grip, and the second coat levels the surface for the finish. The Park Service guidance describes the same sequence for traditional work.
We match the build-up of the existing stucco rather than using one thick coat. Rebuilding in layers keeps the patch at the same thickness and behavior as the finish around it. The scored surface of the first coat is what locks the next layer in place, so it is never skipped.
What the free stucco inspection covers
During the free inspection we sound every face of the chimney, measure cracks and loose areas, and check the crown or chase cover, the cap, the flashing and any water signs inside.
You get a plain summary of what we found and a written estimate for what needs doing. There is no charge and no obligation, and nobody pressures you to book on the spot. If we find nothing that needs doing, we tell you that as well.
Why we never blast stucco with high pressure
High-pressure washing can erode stucco texture, force water into cracks and loosen weak areas. The Park Service guidance describes low-pressure water washing with soft brushes for cleaning stucco.
We clean chimney stucco gently before repairs and coatings, and we suggest you do the same. If a washer has already damaged the texture, we include that area in the repair scope. A soft brush, clean water and patience remove surface dirt without roughening the texture.

What Lake Avalon homeowners ask about stucco repair
Short answers from our stucco team in Lake Avalon. Call for anything not covered here.
Can you restucco a brick chimney?
Yes, when it suits the chimney. We check the brick and joints first, prepare the surface so the new stucco can bond and apply it in coats. If the brick itself needs work, that is quoted as its own item.
Is stucco repair different from chimney chase repair?
Yes. Stucco repair covers the finish, the lath and the barrier behind it. If the framing or sheathing of a chase is damaged, that structural work is chase repair and is priced separately.
