New stucco, patch and repair of cracked or loose plaster, and parging on foundation walls.
Or call (857) 335-0897
The short answer
Stucco and plaster (what many of our customers call reboco) protect the wall underneath and give it a clean, even finish. Around Greater Boston they show up on house walls, chimneys, garden walls and the exposed part of foundations, where a cement coat called parging covers the block or concrete.
We apply new stucco and plaster and repair coats that have cracked, bulged or come loose. The repair is only as good as what it bonds to, so loose material is taken off first and the surface is prepared before new coats go on.
Water gets in through the crack, freezes in winter and opens it wider every year.
The coat has lost its bond to the wall. Tapping sounds hollow and pieces start to fall.
The cement coat on the foundation is flaking off and leaving the block exposed.
