Inside a stucco chimney repair in Storey Park
Details our Storey Park team explains on every stucco chimney visit.
Stucco on masonry versus stucco on lath
Stucco can be applied straight onto block, brick or concrete, or carried on metal lath fastened over framing and a water-resistive barrier. The International Masonry Institute describes both assemblies, and each one fails in its own way.
On masonry, trouble usually starts with lost bond or water entering at the top. On a lathed chase, rusting lath, corroded fasteners or a torn barrier behind the lath are part of the picture. We identify the assembly before recommending anything. The same crack can mean a finish repair on block and a lath repair on a chase, which is why the two are never quoted alike.
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.
Our workmanship warranty on stucco repairs
The stucco work we perform is covered by our workmanship warranty, and the terms are written into your estimate before you approve it. The warranty covers the areas we repaired, and the written scope shows exactly where those are.
If a repair we made does not hold as agreed, we come back and fix it. New cracks from causes outside the repair, such as structural movement, are assessed on their own. Keep the written summary we give you, since it describes exactly what the warranty covers.
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.

Stucco chimney questions from Storey Park
Straight answers from our specialists in Storey Park, with no sales pressure.
Is an elastomeric coating a good idea for my chimney?
Sometimes. Some elastomeric coatings bridge hairline cracks and resist wind-driven rain, but they do not fix loose stucco, and some films can hold moisture in. We repair the stucco first and recommend a coating only when its product data suits your chimney.
How many visits does a stucco repair take?
Sealing a few fine cracks can be one visit. A full-depth repair is built in coats, and each coat needs time to set, so it usually takes more than one visit. Your estimate lays out the visit plan.
