Remediation
Stucco remediation is the procedure for rectifying and resolving issues associated with stucco applications on residential or commercial structures. Stucco is a favored exterior finish due to its durability and aesthetic appeal; however, with the passage of time, it can manifest problems like cracks, water damage, or improper installations.
The primary steps in the stucco remediation process include:
- Inspection: A thorough inspection of the stucco is conducted to determine the extent of the damage and identify any underlying issues. This may involve visual examination, moisture testing, and possibly even using thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden problems.
- Planning and preparation: Based on the inspection findings, a plan is developed to address the specific issues. This may include determining whether partial or complete remediation is needed, and what materials and techniques will be used.
- Surface preparation: The affected area is prepared for remediation by removing loose or damaged stucco, as well as any underlying layers like mesh or paper. This step ensures a clean and stable surface for the remediation work.
- Structural repairs: If the inspection reveals any structural damage, it must be addressed before proceeding with the stucco repair. Common structural repairs may include fixing damaged framing, replacing rotting wood, or reinforcing weak areas.
- Water damage repair: If the stucco has water damage, it is crucial to address the source of the moisture before repairing the surface. This can involve fixing leaky roofs, sealing windows, or improving the drainage system to prevent future water intrusion.
- Stucco application: The remediation process typically involves reapplying stucco to the affected area using proper techniques and materials. This may include applying a moisture barrier, installing new mesh or paper, and carefully layering the stucco in multiple coats to ensure a durable and visually appealing finish.
- Finishing touches: Once the new stucco has been applied, it is allowed to dry and cure. Afterward, any necessary finishing touches like texturing or painting can be done to match the surrounding area and make the repair seamless.
It is important to note that stucco remediation can be a complex process and is best carried out by experienced professionals. Hiring a reputable contractor with expertise in stucco remediation is highly recommended to ensure the best results and avoid further damage or future issues.
What To Look For
- Experience: Look for a company that has a proven track record in stucco remediation and has successfully completed similar projects in the past. A company with extensive experience will be better equipped to handle unexpected challenges and provide high-quality results.
- Credentials: Make sure the company you choose is licensed, insured, and certified in stucco remediation. This will ensure that they follow the proper safety and quality standards, and protect you from liability in case of accidents or damages.
- Reputation: Check the company’s reputation by reading reviews and getting referrals from previous clients. A reputable company should have positive feedback from satisfied customers and a long-standing presence in the community.
- Communication: Choose a company that communicates openly and clearly throughout the remediation process. This means getting a clear estimate, regular updates on progress, and answers to any questions or concerns you may have.
- Warranty: Look for a company that offers a warranty for their work and stands behind their quality. This will give you peace of mind, knowing that you can count on the company to fix any issues that may arise after the job is completed.

Each project has surpassed expectations than the previous. We have not been shy to share their contact information to others. There are many things we love about Vision Builders but what we feel really puts them apart from other builders is the eye on details and the flexibility. We will only use Vision Builders for any other home projects we do.
