Stucco Restoration

Incorrect application of stucco poses the greatest risk for damage to the structure when stucco is installed over wood frame construction.

We provide effective Contracting Services

Our Process

To successfully complete a Stucco Restoration job a high level of expertise is absolutely necessary for the following:

Planning and Preparation

The majority of projects experiencing stucco failure due to incorrect installations are in preexisting communities. As the building Contractor we have to evaluate the community as a whole to not only determine the staging of equipment and material but also to determine the most efficient way to approach the project that will have the least amount of impact on the day to day activities of the community. It is not just a construction site; it is someone’s home and neighborhood

Demolition

Removing poorly installed stucco and damaged framing members are part of a stucco restoration project. The removal process is carefully monitored. If not done properly this can be dangerous not only for the workers but the residents and their personal property as well. Dueall takes the extra steps to protect the area around the construction zone. These extra steps are what separate Dueall from everyone else.

Framing

Stucco fails for a variety of reasons. Sometimes stucco fails due to improper framing. On every restoration job Dueall evaluates the existing structure and consults with an engineer about any structural repairs needed. Proper framing is critical for the installation of stuc

House wrap systems

The house wrap system is the last line of defense if water penetrates through the stucco. The house wrap system, also known as the Water-Resistant Barrier, ensures that the wood beneath does not come into contact with water. If installed properly, the system is designed to keep water away from the wood framing members and allows it to weep out of the stucco system through the proper accessories.

Paint/Sealants

Paint and sealants are the first line of defense from water intrusion. The importance of using the right material for each specific situation is immeasurable. Before paint is applied it is necessary to test the PH level of the stucco. The paint thickness per the manufacturers recommended thickness is checked frequently with a gauge as well as the dry thickness after the manufacturers recommended drying time. Dueall, our subcontractors, our suppliers, and the manufacturer’s reps are experts in sealants, coatings, and their installation. Ensuring we use the proper products and install them according to the manufacturer’s specifications is our mission. We also regularly have our sealants tested by the manufacturer’s representative to ensure compliance with specifications

Stucco system application

Proper thicknesses, fasteners, lapping of expanded wire, vinyl or metal accessories, hydration, sequencing, curing time between coats, are all just a small sample of the numerous steps critical to the function and longevity of the system. The level of detail necessary to apply stucco requires experienced installation professionals and a management staff that oversees every phase of this multi-step process. Dueall has the proper training through continuing education classes providing the expertise needed to install stucco.

Roofing

Some scenarios we have seen roofing components contribute to water intrusion. Improperly installed flashing is one of the main culprits. We will investigate these areas to determine whether they were designed and installed correctly. We have licensed roofing contractors, who under our purview make all needed repairs.

Waterproofing systems

The House/Wrap/StuccoWrap serves as the WRB (Water-Resistant Barrier). This has to be completed in the proper sequence, shingled and overlapped to the manufactures design and specifications to function as it is was designed. SAF (Self Adhering Flashing) installed in conjunction with the WRB, properly shingled and installed, provides the drainage plane needed to shed water away from the framing and sheathing. Although this is installed first under the stucco it is the most important part of the water proofing system.

Guidelines and Certification

Dueall Construction, a leader in stucco restoration in Florida, follows Florida Building Code, ASTM standards, and manufacturers’ guidelines for stucco installation. Many areas lack enforcement due to contractor unawareness. We lead high-profile restoration projects, partnering with professionals to ensure stucco systems are installed correctly, preventing failures.

Stucco restoration requires a contractor with expertise in various disciplines. We prioritize ongoing training and staying current with industry best practices to deliver high-quality results.
