The way we handle stucco chimneys in New Malibu
A closer look at the stucco work our team does on chimneys in New Malibu.
Repainting a stucco chimney after repair
Many stucco chimneys are painted, and new paint has to be compatible with the coating already on the surface. The Park Service guidance calls for removing loose or peeling paint and cleaning the surface before repainting.
We tell you when the new stucco is ready for paint according to the products used, and whether the full face should be painted so the patch disappears. Painting can be in our scope or left to your painter, whichever you prefer. If we do the painting, the product name and color go into your records for future touch-ups.
Removing bad stucco without breaking the good
Heavy hammering while removing loose stucco can crack the sound finish next to it. The Park Service guidance warns against breaking the keys of surrounding good stucco during removal.
Our crew removes loose material with sharp tools and controlled cuts. Keeping the surrounding finish intact keeps the repair area as small as it needs to be, which keeps your cost down too. Cuts are made along the planned outline first, then the loose material inside is removed.
When a bonding agent is used
According to the Park Service guidance, a properly cleaned and prepared patch area usually does not need a bonding agent, though one can help in some cases, such as surfaces that offer a poor key.
We use bonding agents where the surface calls for them and the repair product's instructions allow it. They never stand in for removing loose material and preparing the base properly. When one is used, it is named in the estimate along with the other repair products.
What a full chimney restucco involves
A full restucco removes the old finish down to its base, repairs lath or masonry as needed and rebuilds every face in coats with a new finish. The Park Service guidance treats total replacement as the step for extreme loss of bond or repairs too compromised to patch.
It is a larger job, so we only recommend it when patching would not hold or would look worse. When we do, you see a patch option and a full option side by side. A full restucco also lets the texture and color be chosen fresh, which some homeowners welcome.

Stucco chimney questions from New Malibu
Still weighing it up? These answers help, and the stucco inspection in New Malibu is free.
Is the stucco inspection really free?
Yes. We inspect the chimney stucco, crown, cap and flashing at no charge and give you a written estimate. There is no obligation to book.
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.
