How We Repair Stucco Chimneys in Fish Hawk
Each step is walked through with you before any stucco is cut away.
The standards behind exterior plaster
Exterior plaster work in the Florida residential code points to ASTM C926 for applying portland cement-based plaster and to ASTM C1063 for installing the lath and accessories it goes over. Those standards cover the materials, coats and details that make stucco hold.
Our pros use them as the reference for repair work on your chimney, and the estimate names the materials we plan to use. A repair does not bring an older chimney up to current code, and we say so plainly when other parts need attention.
Preparing old brick joints under stucco
When stucco goes over brick or stone, the mortar joints give it extra grip. The Park Service's brief describes raking joints back about 5/8 inch where needed so the new stucco can key into them.
Our specialists clean and rake the joints on a brick chimney that is being restuccoed, removing loose mortar and dust. That step gives the first coat something to hold besides a smooth brick face.
Gutters, downspouts and splash-back
A gutter that overflows at the chimney, or a downspout that empties beside it, keeps the lower stucco wet. The Park Service lists leaking gutters and splash-back among the everyday causes of stucco decay.
Our specialists repair the damaged stucco and show you where the water is coming from so it can be redirected. A short downspout extension can protect a repair better than a heavier patch.
When full restucco makes sense
Replacing all of a chimney's stucco is a bigger job, and the Park Service reserves it mainly for stucco that has lost its bond over a large area or has been compromised by poor earlier repairs. Many chimneys need less than that.
Our pros recommend a full restucco only when the tapping map and the test openings show it is needed. When it is, the old stucco comes off down to the backing, the lath and paper are checked and the new stucco goes on in full coats.
