Chimney stucco, one layer at a time
Reading the lines of a stucco estimate
A clear stucco estimate separates the work into parts you can judge on their own. The repair area, the base repair beneath it, the coats, the finish and any painting each appear as their own lines.
Work on another component, such as the chimney top or the roof flashing, is listed separately with its own price. So is any exploratory opening. You can approve the whole scope or only part of it. Nothing is added without a conversation first, and our pricing is set out upfront.
An approved opening to see behind stucco
Sometimes nothing short of a small opening will show what sits behind the stucco. We suggest one when the evidence is mixed and the answer would change the repair. It is a controlled step, planned in advance, not a demolition.
The opening is agreed with you in advance, including its location and how it will be closed. It is listed as its own item. We protect the opening while it is open and describe what we found, so you can decide on the repair with the facts in front of you.
Choosing between patches and a full restucco
The choice depends on how much stucco is loose, whether the base is sound, how the finish will look and how long you plan to keep the house. There is rarely one answer for every chimney.
We lay out both options where both are reasonable, with what each includes and what each leaves in place. A patch approach can be the sensible choice on a mostly sound chimney. A full restucco can be the better value when patches would cover most of the surface anyway.
Where chimney stucco meets the house wall
The corner where a stucco chimney meets the wall of the house often cracks in a long vertical line. The chimney and the wall can move a little differently, and the plaster across the joint takes the strain.
A rigid patch across that line may simply crack again. Depending on what we find, the better answer can be a flexible joint or a flashing detail rather than more plaster. We explain the choice and show where the joint will sit before any work starts.

Chimney stucco questions we hear in Home Beautiful Park
What happens if there is rotten wood behind the stucco?
We stop at the agreed boundary and show you what we found. The wood repair is chimney chase repair, a separate item with its own price. The stucco work resumes once the support behind it is sound and you have approved both parts.
Should I pressure wash the chimney before you come?
Please do not. High pressure can drive water into cracks and loosen weak plaster, which makes the inspection harder to read. Leave the surface as it is, and we will look at it in its current condition.
Do you replace the metal lath or reuse it?
Sound lath that has only pulled away can often be refastened. Corroded or torn lath in the repair area is cut out and replaced with corrosion-resistant lath lapped into what remains. The estimate says which we expect to do.
