Stucco Remediation & Repair
Why Stucco Remediation or Repairs Are Necessary
Many homeowners with stucco exteriors are unaware that the real threat isn’t the stucco itself — it’s the moisture that gets behind it due to improper flashing, poor caulking, or missing weep screeds. Over time, this trapped moisture can rot structural framing, grow mold, and cause serious damage that’s hidden behind the surface.
When is Remediation Needed?
If the damage is widespread, or if the original installation failed to follow proper water management principles (like installing kickout flashing or sealing all penetrations), full remediation may be required. This means removing all existing stucco, repairing the underlying damage, and reinstalling the stucco system correctly from the ground up.
When are Surgical Repairs an Option?
In many cases, complete tear-offs aren’t necessary. We specialize in surgical stucco repairs — targeted repairs that address the root cause of the issue (like installing proper flashing and sealing problem areas) without removing your entire exterior. When done properly, these repairs are highly effective and cost-efficient.
Even Non-Stucco Homes Are Affected
Hardie board, vinyl siding, and other materials can also suffer from water intrusion if flashing is done incorrectly. The key isn’t the siding — it’s how the water is managed behind it.
