Stucco points that decide the repair in Lake Weldona
Worth knowing before you approve a stucco repair in Lake Weldona.
The weep screed at the bottom of lathed stucco
Where lathed stucco ends at the bottom of a wall, the Florida residential code calls for a corrosion-resistant weep screed of at least No. 26 gage with a flange of 3 1/2 inches or more, mounted 4 inches or more above soil or 2 inches or more above paving.
That strip gives water behind the stucco a way out. If the base of a chimney has been buried by soil, mulch or a raised patio, we point it out and explain what clearing or repairing that edge would involve. On a chase that sits on the roof, the bottom edge meets flashing instead, and we check that joint the same way.
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.
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 inspect stucco up close, not from the ground
From the driveway, a chimney can look sound while its top band is hollow, or look awful when the damage is only surface staining. Staining, faded paint and old patches can all look alarming from below while the stucco underneath is still firmly attached.
Our pros go up and check every face by hand. The estimate you receive is based on what is actually there, which keeps the price fair in both directions. It also means we can tell you when a chimney needs far less than you feared.

Before your stucco repair in Lake Weldona
Our family-owned team in Lake Weldona answers the stucco questions homeowners raise before booking.
How do you know what is under my chimney stucco?
We sound the finish, look at edges and openings and check the chimney from the roof and, where possible, the attic. That usually tells us whether the stucco sits on block, brick or a framed chase with lath. If a small test opening is needed to be sure, we ask before making it.
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.
