Stucco repair choices for Las Olas Isles chimneys
Reaching chimney stucco from the roof and ladders
Most chimney stucco repairs are carried out from ladders, the roof or a small scaffold. The access method depends on the height, the roof covering and where the damage sits.
We plan the access before the visit and protect the roof surface where we stand and set materials down. If a scaffold is needed, it appears in the estimate with the reason. Tell us about any recent roof work or fragile roof areas, so we can plan the route up and across.
A stucco discount tied to your free inspection
After the free inspection you receive a written estimate for the stucco work. If you approve it within 72 hours of that inspection, 10% comes off the price.
The 72 hours count from your own inspection, so every customer gets the full period, and it does not depend on a date on the calendar. Use the time to read the estimate, ask questions and compare the options we set out. We are glad to go through any line with you before you decide.
Ledges and bands that collect water on stucco
Decorative bands, ledges and sills on a stucco chimney can hold water on their top surfaces. The International Masonry Institute advises protecting horizontal surfaces as part of stucco maintenance.
If a ledge is cracked or has lost its slope, water sits there and soaks in. We look at each horizontal surface on the chimney and note whether it sheds water. Where one needs rebuilding with a better fall, we describe how, and it appears as its own line. Small ledges are easy to overlook from the ground, so we check them up close.
Routing a crack before it is filled
A crack that carries water is often widened slightly along its length with a small cutting tool. Routing gives the repair material a clean channel with sound sides instead of a thin, dirty line.
The channel is cleaned and dampened, then filled with a material chosen for whether the crack still moves. The surface is finished to match the texture around it. Routing leaves a neater and more durable line than smearing a patch over the top, and the estimate lists each crack treated this way.

Stucco chimney repair, answered plainly
Is an elastomeric coating a good idea for a stucco chimney?
It can be, on sound stucco where the water source has been fixed. Because it forms a film, it can slow drying if water gets behind it. We read the product data and look at how the chimney dries before recommending one.
Why does the stucco near the ground keep breaking down?
The lowest part of the wall often stays wet from splashing rain, irrigation, soil piled against it or a buried weep screed. We check the base conditions and suggest changes you can make, alongside any repair we price.
When is a hose water test part of a stucco job?
No. We run a hose water test only when the job calls for it, usually when the entry point is still unclear after the inspection. We explain why it would help before doing it.
