Stucco repair, step by step, for Lake Nona homes
The points below shape the stucco repair we recommend in Lake Nona, and each one appears in your estimate.
Chalky old paint on chimney stucco
An old coating that leaves powder on your hand is a poor base for new paint. The Park Service guidance notes that latex paint will not stick to chalky or powdery areas.
Before any finish goes on, we check how well the existing coating holds and prepare the surface to suit the new one. Skipping that step is a frequent reason a freshly painted chimney starts peeling again. A quick rub test on each face shows how much preparation the old coating needs.
Choosing a coating from its data sheet
Coatings sold for stucco vary widely. Sto, for example, lists high vapor permeability for its elastomeric coatings, while other films are much tighter. The word elastomeric on a label does not tell you how a product behaves.
When a coating is part of your estimate, we name the product and explain why it suits your chimney's surface. You can read the same data sheet we used to choose it. If you already have a coating in mind, we check it against the surface and tell you honestly whether it suits.
Outside parging is not smoke chamber parging
Parging on the outside of a chimney is a weather finish. Parging inside the smoke chamber above a fireplace is a different job with heat-rated materials, and it is its own service.
If you have been told the chimney needs parging, we find out which one was meant. Your estimate names the exact location of the work so there is no confusion later. Both can appear on one estimate when both are needed, each on its own line with its own price.
Stucco chases around a factory-built chimney
A factory-built fireplace often vents through a listed metal chimney inside a framed chase. The stucco is the chase's skin, not part of the chimney system itself.
We repair the chase finish without disturbing the listed pipe, supports or clearances inside. If we see a problem with those parts, it goes on a separate line for you to consider. Clearances around that pipe are kept intact when lath and fasteners go back on the framing.

Before your stucco repair in Lake Nona
Questions that come up on stucco visits in Lake Nona, answered plainly.
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.
Why does new stucco need time before painting?
Fresh stucco is still curing and holding moisture, and paint applied too soon may not bond well. We follow the timing on the stucco and paint products used and tell you when the surface is ready.
