We recently completed a full exterior remediation project involving the removal and replacement of a failing stucco system that had widespread water intrusion issues. The existing stucco showed clear signs of distress, including cracking, staining, and soft substrate areas, all indicating prolonged moisture infiltration behind the cladding. Our team began by carefully demolishing and removing the compromised stucco down to the structural framing, allowing us to fully assess the extent of the damage. We identified and replaced deteriorated sheathing and addressed any affected framing members to restore the integrity of the structure. Once the substrate was sound, we installed a new, code-compliant weather-resistant barrier and integrated proper flashing details around all penetrations, windows, doors, and transitions—critical steps that were missing or improperly installed in the original system. We then applied a new, high-performance stucco system, including proper lath installation, scratch and brown coats, and a durable finish coat tailored to the client’s desired aesthetic. Special attention was given to drainage and moisture management to ensure long-term performance and prevent future intrusion issues. The final result not only restored the home’s appearance but also significantly improved its durability, weather resistance, and overall value. This project is a strong example of how proper installation techniques and attention to detail can completely transform and protect a structure.
