Repairing Small Cracks and Chips

For minor cracks and chips, Amazing Stucco, Inc. employs meticulous techniques to achieve seamless repairs:

a. Our professionals utilize high-quality patching compounds to fill the cracks and chips. We will ensure the compound is applied evenly and applied correctly to establish a strong bond.

Tackling Larger Cracks and Holes

For more significant cracks and holes, Amazing Stucco, Inc. employs specialized techniques to achieve durable repairs:

b. The surface is often dampened slightly with water to facilitate better adhesion.

c. A well-balanced stucco mix, prepared with precise proportions of cement, sand, and lime, is used to fill the cracks and holes. Amazing Stucco, Inc. ensures that the mixture is adequately compacted to eliminate air pockets, providing a robust and long-lasting repair.

d. After the application, our professionals skillfully smooth the surface with a float, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the surrounding stucco texture.

a. The technicians carefully remove the loose stucco, cutting it back to the point where it firmly adheres to the substrate.
