Repairing stucco and the base behind it
Where chimney stucco meets the roof covering
The line where a stucco chimney meets the roof is a common entry point for water. The code expects flashing at such junctions, applied so that water is kept out of the wall cavity and away from the framing.
Stucco run tight down onto the roof with no flashing showing deserves a closer look. We check how the flashing and the plaster finish meet. Chimney flashing repair is a separate job, and we list it on its own line if it is needed alongside the stucco.
A family-owned team on your stucco chimney
We are a family-owned, locally owned company. The person who explains your stucco repair is part of the team that stands behind it, and that shapes how we talk about the work.
We explain the base, the cause and the options in plain terms, and we tell you when a smaller repair is enough. If something is outside our scope, we say that too, rather than stretch a job to fit. You get a straight account of the chimney and the choice of what to do next.
Stucco work inside the code's HVHZ
The Florida Building Code places Miami-Dade County inside the zone it calls the HVHZ. Exterior wall and roofing work in that zone follows provisions written specifically for it.
A small stucco patch may not reach those provisions, while a full restucco, new lath or work at the roof junction may. Ask which provisions apply to the specific work before you approve it. We explain our reading of what the stucco job involves there. Any product approval is confirmed from its own paperwork, not assumed.
Checking stucco accessories more often near the shore
Near the coast, the metal edges of a stucco chimney tend to show wear before the plaster does. Rust marks along a corner or at the base can be the first sign that a bead or screed is failing.
In that exposure, it makes sense to have those edges looked at on a shorter cycle than inland. On such a visit our team checks the corners, the bottom screed and any trim where stucco meets metal. Catching a corroding bead early keeps the repair to a corner rather than a whole face.

Before you approve stucco work in Surfside
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.
What does the free inspection include for a stucco chimney?
We look at every accessible face, tap for hollow areas, and check the top, the roof junction and the base. We explain what we saw and what we could not see. A free written estimate follows, with each item priced separately.
Do you clean up the dust and debris afterward?
Yes. We protect the ground and surrounding surfaces during the work and tidy the area each day. Old stucco, lath and other debris are cleaned up and hauled away when the job is finished.
