The question of how much stucco I should break out to repair a stucco wall comes up a lot.
In this video, I explain how much you should break out. Of course, that depends on the level of paper rot.
Break out existing stucco, repair deteriorated paper add new paper, then re-stucco.
Hello everyone, in this video, I viewed this window through e-mail.
The contractor explained he could not salvage reasonably decent paper to properly waterproof the window.
I explained that some homes have no salvageable paper and sometimes no wire or wood left. I said we would do our best with what we have to work with.
On this window, it worked out well; my son and I could slide some new paper under the original horizontal top so that it is waterproof as well as possible.
It’s in fast motion as my son Jason felt no one would watch an hour’s worth of waterproofing and installing wire.
The owner said to remove as much stucco as was necessary to correct the paper membrane as best as possible. We removed a lot but finally found good paper to tie into,
Sometimes there is no good paper or membrane left, nor any wire or wood left. This happens when stucco has been neglected for too many years.
We show how to repair stucco on an exterior door when the paper deteriorates. We usually do the best we can with whatever paper is available. But, as the pictures show, the paper has seen better days!
For immediate bids, send pictures to Jay or myself at our sites below.

Thanks for watching.
We have a stucco house...... 72 years old. We need all new windows ! I am about ready to sell.. It's overwhelming !!
Hire a quality company to replace them, it's money in the bank.😉
Stop crying pick up some fkn tools and get it done just bought a fixer replacing all the windows solo
@@sirchancla7620 LOL.... can't now. It's -10 degrees.
You've taught me to do windows and the ones I've done came out great. My wife doesn't like how long it takes me but I honestly can't find find anyone willing to do it right when we get bids. I have a slider left to do so I may have to give you a call as we are in Fremont.
Evening Milo, good job my friend, thank you for the compliment.
It sounds like you will be teaching how to stucco videos soon. 🍺

Hi, Great question. Most windows are designed to allow moisture out, plus they are always installed over watertight membranes.
Thanks and have a great day!

Thanks for the video. I am installing new windows in a 1920's house and am struggling with brittle paper also. Guess we just do the best we can to slip it under in a ship lap manner and use a lot of caulking, short of ripping apart the wall and starting over? Again thank you for the videos!!
Howdy Frederick, no a casing bead is not necessary in California. Sometimes with commercial projects if it’s specked out in the prints I will install them. I think I have installed casing bead only once, but I have installed J trim many times especially on commercial projects.
Have a groovy Holiday!

Good evening Frank, I could, but it’s the water proofing takes the real skill, and again I can water proof it too.
If you are hands on type of fellow you possibly can to.
You are only limited to your imagination with not only stucco, but wood and so on.
Best wishes and have a good evening!
Kirk Giordano plastering
great video I just have one question though why wouldn't you use a circular saw with a masonry blade to cut around the window seems like it would be faster and easier Thanks
Eveneing Ruan Tecillo, excellent question, dust my brother, the dust would be all over you, your home and all the neighbors, plus you would still have to chip back and leave the some paper and wire for proper tie ins.
Have a good evening,
kirk giordano
Great videos, thank you.
I do have a question for you. I’m trying to restore a small one story house built in 1956. It has old stucco on it. It turns out the stucco was applied on top of existing asbestos siding 😮. I’m now debating if I should try to hire someone and fix the stucco which has some minor cracks and buckling in one spot at the bottom where it wraps on to the foundation wall, or try to attach 1x3 furring strips, through stucco and asbestos siding to the studs and cover it with vinyl siding. Appreciate the advice.
Hi defender, I did apply 2 layers of paper under the Moistop window flashing and on top of the existing paper. The fast motion stuff makes that part difficult to see.
Code requires we go under whatever window membrane a person chooses, I am aware of about 20 different window flashing, I have to go under whichever is in place at the time of our arrival.
Thanks for comment, I here it's tough to work in Florida unless you get used to the humidity, any truth in that?

Kirk, why not felt paper directly under the bottom of the window? Any particular reason?I am a plasterer in Florida I like your channel I get great info from you thx!
Thanks for this video. I have never done this before, and I was going to use an angle grinder for cutting the stucco to install new construction (with flange) replacement windows. I plan to follow your video. Is there any disadvantage to using a grinder?
Also something has really been puzzling me. There are vents every other stud bay at the top of each outside wall, venting the stud space. There's no insulation, so the house gets very cold. Also when I heat the house, I get moist cold air meeting warm inside air, making vapor in the stud bay. So I covered the vents with bitumen from the inside, and foamboard with silverside towards outside, and taped seams air-tight. I followed that with insulation on top. Now I'm wondering if I made a mistake, perhaps having two vapor barriers facing each other. I did some reading on stucco and think the first layer will absorb any vapor and dissipate it. Will the wall get moist inside, or is the double lathe of paper enough to breathe? Thanks.
Morning Scott Johnson, there is no advantage in a grinder, in fact it creates much dust with little advantage.
The stud bay vents are to ventilate the attic roof normally, not the walls. If it were me I'd go up there and spray the expanding foam down each bay, this will stop the air from going down them while allowing the circulating air in the attic, of course you can insulate the walls too.
Best wishes, and have a good New Year.

Very useful video! Thank you
Very pleasant clip.
Hello Window Replacement Agency Of Milwaukee, thank you,

No caulking under the window so that any water that might get in, has a way out.That is my understanding He mentioned the same thing missing at the bottom of the wall, no way for any water that might get in to get out so it is trapped.
Howdy acejenkins, your welcome. Sometimes there is no paper, wire or wood and the only thing holding up the walls is the stucco.
Best wishes, and have a great day!
Kirk Giordano Plastering
Do you install a stucco casing bead around the window?
How come we are not supposed to cock the bottom of the windows? Does the cocking just go around the sides and top?
I’m sure the caulking goes first around the windows to make it air right and then the wire!
HowdyJA, lots of ways to skin a cat,
I prefer to paper place paper up to a window or door then fuse the paper to the window, personally.
As a rule, I use a construction sealant and adhesive, Sikaflex 1A is the stuff I prefer as it's been sold at all the professional plastering yards for many years and is time-tested bt the professionals.
Excellent caulking but try not to get it on your hands as it's definitely not water cleanable.
Peace love and happiness to all

Hello and thanks for your videos :) Where do you get the chisels you use in your videos for chipping out plaster around a window. I've found the multi-tool adapter for my sawzall, but can't find the 1/4" impact ready hex shank chisels to fit in the adapter. Thanks a bunch! Katherine
Howdy Katherine, they sell these chisel tips at home depot stores.
cheers,

Hi, I was wondering is it possible to make an exterior stucco frame for windows, doors on a vinyl siding home? thanks
Hi Jerry, we usual calk just the sides, the tops usually have a plastic or metal Z flashing installed so no caulking is necessary. I f water gets in this 90 year old home it won’t because of that window.
Can it leach out?
I don't know, as most paints are not waterproof even if you apply many.
We just put them back the best way possible from what we have to work with.
Thanks for watching and have a great day!

Nice video Jason. Could you do the same thing for a window in eifs system?
Howdy Alex, yes you can, both take a bit of practice.

Thanks, Kirk. apologies for the confusion
I wanted to ask what the minimum number of inches to get the paper under the old paper. the inspector is asking that I slide it under up to six inches and I don't know how you could do that.
Evening Jamal Kazemi, excellent question.
Most inspectors ask for 6 inches, but that's mighty rare to acheive unless the home is under 30 years old.
There are times I fight for one inch and sometimes there is no paper and even the wire is deteriorated (none) with the only thing holding up, say a garage is the stucco itself.
All you can do is the best you can with what's available!
Some homes are over a hundred years old with little maintenance ever done to it, while some old homes have been extremely well cared for.
Best wishes,
kirk and family.
My bad..I see your not using recipro saw. Please disregard my previous question. Thx, Katherine
Good morning Katherine, you can purchase these bosch bull dogs at most hardware stores.
cheers,

Yes it gets brutal. Frequent brakes, loads of water and keeping covered is the key to staying alive! July and August are the worst. O so you went under the flashing, I understand now. Yall use that "chicken wire" in California. We use a tighter mesh wire lath. Why do ya suppose that is? Weather conditions?
How do I cut away wire stucco and paper?
With a grinder.. 4.5" easy piecy...get a diamond blade...cost 25usd
I'm new to stucco repair. Why is it that you never caulk the bottom of the window?
Good Morning Tony dude, the bottom should always be placed on a flashing, so our new paper goes under this flashing, s'ooo, not necessary to caulk the bottom, in fact, caulking sometime seals the weep holes on the bottom of windows.

If water gets in behind the window you want it to escape out the bottom. It's ok to calk some of the bottom of the window, but leave at least a few gaps for water to escape.
@@StuccoPlastering should it be a metal flashing? Do you have a video showing it?
Why shouldn't I put caulking under the base of the window
Good evening albert, the window area should have a membrane on the sill, then one on each side countering the bottom and lastly a Z flashing on top.
When the window is installed, properly placed flashing with caulking deverts all the rain water.

You talk too much
G'day Cry Baby, what an ignorant thing to say. Listen, I’m a pretty decent person, so if I’m being an asshole, you have to ask yourself, why?
