Stucco Repair in Greater Cincinnati
Olde World Masons does small stucco repairs on homes and businesses in Greater Cincinnati, Southern Ohio, Southeast Indiana and Northern Kentucky.
Cracks and missing stucco can be patched in to blend with the existing surfaces. Beware there are many types of stucco finishes, some requiring special application equipment so we cannot guarantee any texture. Most stucco is painted so you will have to paint your repair once it has cured.
Our job is to patch-in the damaged area, texture the best we can and make sure the surface is sealed preventing water and vermin from entering into the wall. This is patch work, not a whole-house re-stucco or new stucco.
Michael Olding has been doing these repairs since 1979. Text him with a brief description of your repair along with your photos. He will look at your job in person and then will email a PDF estimate to you – usually in 1 to 7 days.
Common questions
Below are FAQ from our customers. Remember we perform repairs and patches and are not in any way doing a replacement or renovation of a stucco structure. That is beyond our scope.
Is it possible to blend a stucco patch?
Answer – Many original stuccos were applied with spray equipment, tools or special stucco aggregates. Matching those isn’t practical for the small stucco patch work we perform. Our goal is to close off the damaged area preventing water and vermin from entering the structure.
Is this a crack repair or does a whole section need redone?
Answer – Old stucco is always delaminating but we do not remove sections unless requested or it has fallen off. Our goal is simply to close off the wall system preventing water and vermin entry.
What’s usually causing stucco cracks or failures?
Answer – Building movement is the primary cause for cracks in stucco.
Will the repair help keep water out?
Answer – We use waterproof cement to help prevent water infiltration from wind driven rain. Other sources of water infiltration must be mitigated separately.
How long does a typical stucco repair take?
Answer – Our average repair is around 2 – 4 hours depending on the scope of the repair. Serious conditions will take longer like any repair project.
Do I need to be home the whole time?
Answer – Olde World Masons has built its’ business to be non-intrusive for our customers. Since we only do exterior work, most of our clients are not at home when we do the repair. If questions arise we simply text the owner for clarification or other issues. Please keep your phone close by on the day we schedule your work.
Whats included in the estimate (labor, materials…)?
Answer – Your estimate will define the scope of your repair in detail with photos and descriptions. We must have clear and free access to water at the property we are working on.
How do I text photos for an estimate?
Answer – Just use your phone, take snapshots of the repair areas and text them to Michael 513-403-3344.
