Stucco repair, step by step, for Lockhart homes
The points below shape the stucco repair we recommend in Lockhart, and each one appears in your estimate.
The barrier behind stucco on a framed chase
On a wood-framed chimney chase, the stucco is only the outer skin. Section R703.7.3 calls for a water-resistive barrier over wood-based sheathing that performs like two layers of Grade D paper, and that layer is what keeps water passing the stucco away from the wood.
When a repair opens the stucco on a framed chase, we check that barrier. Torn or missing paper is repaired and lapped correctly before lath and stucco go back, because a patch over a failed barrier only moves the leak somewhere else. On a masonry chimney there is no paper layer, and we tell you that too so the estimate does not carry work your chimney does not need.
Brick chimneys that were stuccoed later
A brick chimney that was stuccoed years after it was built has two layers to judge, the brick and its joints and the stucco over them. Old brick behind failing stucco may have soft joints or damaged faces.
We explain whether the stucco should be patched, replaced or taken off entirely, and what the brick would need in each case. Brick and joint work is priced as its own line. Removing stucco from brick is slow work that can damage the brick faces, so it is only recommended when it clearly pays off.
White deposits on the stucco surface
White, powdery deposits show that water is moving through the stucco and leaving dissolved minerals behind as it dries. They mark the water path rather than being the problem themselves.
Brushing them off helps the look for a while. Stopping them means finding the source, which we trace during the inspection and address in the estimate. A gentle cleaning after the repair usually removes what is left, and new deposits should not return once the water path is closed.
A horizontal crack at roof level
A crack that runs across the chimney near the roof can mark the joint between two parts of the structure or the place where flashing and stucco meet.
We check whether water is entering at that line and whether the two sides of the crack are moving differently. The repair is planned for that behavior rather than simply filled. If flashing is part of the problem, it goes on its own line so you can see its separate cost.

Before your stucco repair in Lockhart
Our family-owned team in Lockhart answers the stucco questions homeowners raise before booking.
Do hairline stucco cracks need repair?
Many hairline cracks are not serious on their own. We check the stucco around each one, and if it is sound, sealing the lines with a matching finish material or a suitable coating is usually enough. Cracks with hollow stucco or rust around them need a deeper repair.
Is stucco chimney repair covered by a warranty?
The work we perform is covered by our workmanship warranty, with the terms written into your estimate. Our 100% satisfaction guarantee also applies, so if something is not right, we come back and fix it.
