Our approach to stucco chimneys in West Miami
Gutters and downspouts aimed at the stucco
A leaking gutter or a downspout that discharges against the chimney can soak one part of the stucco again and again. Leaking gutters and downspouts are among the common causes of stucco decay.
Tell us where the downspouts near the chimney discharge and whether any gutter overflows onto it in heavy rain. Redirecting that water is often simple, and it protects the repair. Gutter work is not part of our stucco scope, but we point out what we see and why it matters.
Stucco layers separating from the base
Delamination is when stucco loses its bond to the base, or when one coat separates from the coat beneath. The International Masonry Institute lists it with cracking and spalling as common forms of stucco damage.
A delaminated area can look almost normal until it is tapped or until a piece falls. Because it can spread from a small start, we map its full extent before quoting. The repair removes the separated layers back to a sound bond, and the estimate states the area involved.
What our warranty means for a stucco patch
Our stucco repairs carry a workmanship warranty. It covers the work we carried out in the areas we repaired. If our patch cracks or loses its bond because of how we did the work, tell us, and we come back to look at it.
A workmanship warranty cannot cover new water from a defect elsewhere that you chose not to repair, or damage that appears in plaster we did not touch. That is one reason the estimate separates each item so clearly. We explain the warranty terms before you approve, so nothing about them comes as a surprise.
Lath and beads in salty air
Zinc-coated steel loses its coating sooner where the air carries salt from the sea. Published corrosion data puts warm marine air close to industrial air for galvanized steel, with wind and distance from the shore moving the rate.
Lath, corner bead and weep screed near the coast therefore deserve a close look during a stucco repair. Where they are corroded, we replace them with a material suited to the exposure and explain the choice. The estimate names the metal used for each accessory.

Asked about stucco patches and finishes
Can new stucco go straight over the old surface?
Only where the old stucco is sound, clean and firmly attached, and even then a new finish is a surface treatment. Loose or hollow areas have to come off first. Spreading new plaster over failing stucco usually fails with it.
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 should I mention when I call about stucco damage?
Tell us which face is damaged, how large the area looks, whether pieces have fallen and whether there are damp marks inside. Mention any earlier patches. You can reach us by phone to arrange the free inspection.
