Stucco repair, step by step, for Lake Como homes
Practical notes from the stucco repair crew serving Lake Como.
Stucco on masonry versus stucco on lath
Stucco can be applied straight onto block, brick or concrete, or carried on metal lath fastened over framing and a water-resistive barrier. The International Masonry Institute describes both assemblies, and each one fails in its own way.
On masonry, trouble usually starts with lost bond or water entering at the top. On a lathed chase, rusting lath, corroded fasteners or a torn barrier behind the lath are part of the picture. We identify the assembly before recommending anything. The same crack can mean a finish repair on block and a lath repair on a chase, which is why the two are never quoted alike.
A crack that still moves needs a different repair
The International Masonry Institute separates cracks that are still moving, where a flexible material such as sealant may be appropriate, from cracks that have stopped, where a more rigid repair mortar may suit.
Filling a moving crack with hard mortar usually means it cracks again along the same line. We look at the crack's history and surroundings on your chimney before choosing the material, and explain the choice in plain terms. A crack that runs through the finish and into the block or framing is a different question again, and we flag it as one.
10% off work booked within 72 hours
Any service booked within 72 hours after your free inspection is 10% off, and stucco chimney repair counts. The discount appears on your written estimate so you can see it applied. The window starts at your own inspection, and there is no coupon to hunt for.
The inspection before it is free, so you can decide with the scope and the price in hand. Mention the offer when you book. The offer covers any service in that window, whether that is a small crack repair or a full restucco.
A second opinion on a stucco quote
If you have been told the whole chimney must be rebuilt because of cracked stucco, a second look is reasonable. Stucco damage often looks worse than the structure behind it. We look at the same cracks, sound the same faces and explain what we find in plain words.
Our free inspection gives you an independent read on what the finish and the masonry need. You decide with two views in hand. If a rebuild really is the right call, we tell you that too and explain why.

Before your stucco repair in Lake Como
Questions that come up on stucco visits in Lake Como, answered plainly.
Do you repair the crown at the same time?
We check the crown on every stucco job, because water from a cracked crown often causes the stucco damage below it. Crown repair is priced on its own line, so you can do both together or schedule them separately.
Do I need to be home during the repair?
Not for most of it, since the work is outside. We like to meet you at the start to confirm access and at the end to walk through the finished repair. If that is not possible, we send a written summary.
