REMODELING WITH PLASTERING & STUCCO

Do you have old or improperly installed stucco on your business or home?

If so, there is a chance your stucco could be damaged by the process of delamination. This is the term for when the outer surface of stucco splits and splinters within its various layers. In order to repair delaminated stucco, there are a few crucial steps that need to be taken first. An expert must identify the cause of damage, determine the type of stucco present, and assess the extent of the damage.

If this all sounds a bit daunting, do not stress—the highly experienced construction experts here at RB Plastering and Stucco, Inc. are able to fully assess and repair any stucco delamination or other damage that your building may have. Since we have been serving the great residents of Florida for over three decades, you can rest assured that we will be able to quickly and effectively take care of your building’s repair and restoration needs.

We will first identify and repair the cause of the delamination so as to prevent further damage to the stucco. There are a multitude of reasons for why delamination may occur. Delamination often arises from water damage when the roof is damaged, there are cracks in the foundation, gaps around windows and doors are present, or there is structural damage to the chimney or structure itself.

Other minor causes are leaky gutters, aggressive greenery, humidity, and moisture. Water damage will eventually rot the wood lath and rust the lath nails, causing the stucco to lose its bond. By recognizing and addressing the root of the problem, we can take preventative measures to minimize the need for future repairs.

The extent of the damage will determine if repair, restoration, or replacement is required. Delamination can occur between the layers, on the surface, or at the base. If a combination of these problems occurs, replacement may be needed to sustain structural integrity.

Once we have determined the type of damage present, we can begin the remodeling process. It is crucial for you to consult our experienced team of experts to identify the type of stucco and the nature of its damage to repair it correctly. If shortcuts are taken to repair delaminated stucco, the result is often further damage.

Do not wait another minute to address the delamination or other damage to your stucco. The earlier you are able to identify and correct the problem, the more time and money you will save in the long run.
