Stucco points that decide the repair in Maitland
What our pros look at, and why, on stucco chimneys in Maitland.
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.
Tapping the stucco to find loose areas
National Park Service guidance on stucco repair notes that unsound areas which have lost their key give a hollow sound when tapped gently. We sound every face of the chimney this way during the inspection, not only the patch around a visible crack.
Loose areas are marked and measured so the estimate covers the full separated section. Pricing only the crack you can see is how a repair ends up cracking again right beside the new patch. A plastic or wooden mallet does the job without marking the finish, and the whole chimney can be sounded in one visit.
Where the stucco meets the roof flashing
At the roof line, flashing turns up the chimney and the stucco finish comes down over or beside it. If that joint is poorly detailed, water runs behind the stucco or into the roof deck.
We check how your chimney's flashing and stucco meet, repair the stucco edge so it sheds water over the flashing and write up any flashing repair on a separate line with its own price. Sealant alone at that joint is a stopgap, and we explain when a flashing repair is the lasting answer.
The top band of stucco under the crown
The band of stucco just below the crown or cover gets wet first in every rain and dries last. Cracks and hollow spots often start in that band before they show anywhere else.
We sound that band with extra care and check how it meets the crown above. If the joint between them is open, sealing or reworking it is part of the plan. A fine crack in that band is worth sealing early, before it lets enough water in to loosen the finish below.

Before your stucco repair in Maitland
Our family-owned team in Maitland answers the stucco questions homeowners raise before booking.
Will the repaired area show?
A well-matched patch on a textured finish is often hard to spot. On smooth or unpainted stucco a faint outline can remain, so we plan edges at corners and lines and offer painting the full face where needed. You see the options before approving.
Does the 72-hour 10% discount apply to stucco repair?
Yes. Book within 72 hours after your free inspection and take 10% off, and stucco chimney repair counts. The discount is shown on your written estimate.
