Stucco Repair That Starts Behind the Finish
Stucco chimneys in Hyde Park are tapped and checked free, and each repair option gets a written price.
Hairline cracks and how they are treated
Fine hairline cracks are often minor and can be closed with a thin slurry made from the finish-coat ingredients, or with a suitable paint, according to the Park Service's stucco brief. The crack is cleaned first so the slurry can work into it.
Our pros treat hairline cracks this way only after tapping around them, since a fine crack over a hollow area is a different problem. When the stucco around the crack is sound, this is often the lightest repair your chimney needs.
Fixing the water source before the stucco
Repairing stucco over an active leak buys a few months at best. The National Park Service traces most stucco decay to water and says to repair the source first, whether that is the roof, a gutter or downspout, the flashing or drainage around the base.
Our team checks the crown, the cap, the flashing and the drainage around your chimney before planning the stucco work. Each source we find gets its own price line, which shows you which work stops the water and which work mends the damage.
Coatings and a chimney that needs to dry
A chimney gets wet from rain on the outside and sometimes from moisture within, and it has to dry out again. According to the International Masonry Institute, a film-forming coating or a water repellent can reduce absorption yet may also slow drying once water gets in.
Our pros weigh that trade-off on your chimney before recommending a coating, and they fix the leaks first so less water reaches the wall at all. When a vapor-open product fits better, the estimate says so.
Caring for a new stucco repair
A new repair needs time before it is painted or coated, and the materials used set that timing. Our specialists tell you how long to wait and what to avoid, such as pressure washing or hanging anything on the fresh stucco.
If a new crack or stain shows up later, let us know rather than covering it with another coat. Our workmanship warranty covers the repairs we do, and a look at the change tells us whether it is the repair or something new.
