Stucco repair, step by step, for Union Park homes
Worth knowing before you approve a stucco repair in Union Park.
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.
Algae and dark growth on a damp face
Dark or green growth on a chimney face shows that part of the finish stays damp. The Park Service guidance notes that organic growth such as algae and mold can be removed from stucco with suitable cleaning methods.
We clean gently and look for the reason the face stays wet, such as shade, a missing drip edge or a spray head. Some coatings are also made to deter growth, and we discuss those where they suit. Harsh cleaners and high pressure are avoided because they can strip the finish along with the growth.
Irrigation spray and the chimney base
A sprinkler head that wets the chimney every day keeps the lower stucco damp far longer than rain alone. The base of the finish softens and paint lifts. A dark band of damp stucco a foot or two above the ground is the usual sign of a spray head at work.
We show you which head is hitting the chimney and repair the damaged finish. Adjusting the spray is usually all it takes to protect the new work. The damaged strip at the base is cut back to firm stucco and rebuilt in matching coats.
The face that takes the most rain
One face of a chimney usually takes more wind-driven rain than the others, and that face tends to show cracks and staining first. Streaks, dark staining and more cracks on one side are the usual clues to which face that is.
We compare the faces during the inspection. If the damage is concentrated on one side, the repair and any coating can focus there instead of covering the whole chimney. A focused repair on the damaged face can save a good part of the cost of treating all four.

Before your stucco repair in Union Park
If your stucco question is not here, our Union Park team is a phone call away.
Do you paint the chimney after repairing the stucco?
We can, or your own painter can. We tell you when the new stucco is ready for paint according to the products used, and whether painting the full face would hide the repair better than a spot finish.
Will my chimney need a full restucco?
Only if loose areas and failed patches cover so much of the finish that patching would not hold or would look worse. Many chimneys need only targeted repairs. When the choice is close, we price both options.
