The way we handle stucco chimneys in Southern Oaks
Where your own choices come in on a stucco job in Southern Oaks.
Corrosion-resistant lath and fasteners
Section R703.7.1 wants the lath, and whatever fastens it, made to resist corrosion. When lath or nails inside an older finish rust, they swell and push the stucco away from the wall, and the stains that follow are often the first visible sign.
Where we open a lathed area and find rusted metal, the damaged lath in the repair area is replaced with corrosion-resistant material before new coats go on. We show you what came out and note it in your records. Sound lath beyond the repair edge is left in place and tied into the new work.
The crown and the drip edge above the stucco
Section R1003.9.1 of the Florida residential code has the top of a masonry chimney pitched so water runs off, finished with a drip edge and a bond break at the flue liners. A drip edge throws water clear of the faces below.
When a crown has no overhang, rain runs straight down the stucco and soaks the top of every face. We check that detail on every stucco repair and quote crown work separately where it would protect the new finish. A crown that already has a good drip edge is noted as sound, so you are not sold work the chimney does not need.
How a stucco repair estimate is laid out
Your written estimate lists each repair area with its size, the removal depth, the number of coats, the finish and any painting. Crown, flashing, cap and framing items appear on separate lines.
That layout lets you approve the stucco work alone or together with other repairs, and it makes our estimate easy to compare with another company's. Upfront pricing, no hidden fees. If you want to phase the work, the separate lines make it easy to choose what comes first.
Rusted corner bead and trim
Metal corner bead and casing bead give stucco edges their shape. Steel trim that rusts swells and cracks the stucco along the corner. Rust at a corner often shows first as a thin orange line along the edge before any stucco falls away.
We replace rusted trim in the repair area with corrosion-resistant parts, in keeping with the code's corrosion-resistance rule for lath and its attachments, and rebuild the edge straight and true. New corner bead is set plumb so the rebuilt corner lines up with the sound corners above and below.

What Southern Oaks homeowners ask about stucco repair
Still weighing it up? These answers help, and the stucco inspection in Southern Oaks is free.
Can I pressure wash my stucco chimney?
High pressure can erode the texture and drive water into cracks, so we advise against it. A gentle rinse with a soft brush is safer. Keep all washing off new stucco until it has cured.
Do I need to be home during the repair?
Not for most of it, since the work is outside. We like to meet you at the start to confirm access and at the end to walk through the finished repair. If that is not possible, we send a written summary.
