Stucco repair, step by step, for Lake Cherokee homes
The points below shape the stucco repair we recommend in Lake Cherokee, and each one appears in your estimate.
Repainting a stucco chimney after repair
Many stucco chimneys are painted, and new paint has to be compatible with the coating already on the surface. The Park Service guidance calls for removing loose or peeling paint and cleaning the surface before repainting.
We tell you when the new stucco is ready for paint according to the products used, and whether the full face should be painted so the patch disappears. Painting can be in our scope or left to your painter, whichever you prefer. If we do the painting, the product name and color go into your records for future touch-ups.
Preparing brick or stone before new stucco
Stucco bonds to masonry through the roughness of the surface and its joints. The Park Service guidance describes raking out brick or stone joints to about 5/8 inch where needed to give new stucco a good bond.
When new stucco goes directly onto masonry, we prepare the surface so the scratch coat has something to grip. Skipping that preparation is a frequent reason fresh stucco lets go in sheets. On block, a clean and slightly rough surface is usually enough, while smooth or painted surfaces need more preparation.
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.
Taking old stucco and debris away
Old stucco, rusted lath and trim that come off your chimney are bagged and hauled away. Nothing is left in the gutters, on the roof or in the planting beds.
Before we leave, we check the roof and yard for fragments and rinse anything that landed on hard surfaces. The final walkthrough covers the clean site as well as the repair itself. Any rusted trim or lath that comes off can be set aside for you to see before it goes.
