At this point, it is very important to take a look to determine whether water has got behind the synthetic stucco. Do not complete a repair if moisture has compromised the outer layer. This is because a synthetic stucco repair seals wetness inside and will cause major issues to your home. Call in the professionals if you are not sure to avoid expensive repairs later.

2. Get the area ready for new stucco<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For small repairs, you simply need to clean all gaps meticulously. Sweep away dust and tiny particles to ensure good adhesion \u2013 you might consider using a vacuum or blower to do this thoroughly.

For larger areas, you will need to install areas of wire mesh and board, and it is strongly advised to get a professional to complete this type of repair. In some cases, it is better to have a whole new side installed to make sure further issues are not caused by a repair.

3. Mix the new stucco<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t mix the polymer synthetic stucco mix until everything else is ready. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully because each repair kit is different.

For very small areas or patches around windows or doors, a waterproof caulk can be used for repairs.

4. Applying the stucco<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a trowel or putty knife, fill the cracks and gaps with the polymer. Simply fill the holes and smooth the material so it is level with the rest of the stucco.

The surface of your polymer application should mimic the surrounding finish \u2013 some exteriors have smooth finishes, and others have ripples or swirls. You might need to experiment with different textures to achieve a good match. Try brushes and trowels or other tools to get the desired look. The better the match, the happier you will be with the result.

5. Cure time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leave the repair patch for the recommended time before doing anything more. Some materials will be fully cured within 24 hours, but others may take longer. Read the instructions for the precise cure time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
