Here is the proper way to install a window note; we had to break out the stucco properly,
• Patching exterior plas... .
Plastering or applying stucco to a newly installed window that was saw-cut is not actual code, so don't saw-cut it and leave it up to the next guy to fix it.
Instead, break out the perimeter stucco using a rotary hammer, thus salvaging the paper and wire for correct tie-ins. I used your everyday stucco; however, I added Lumnite as an accelerator to set it in minutes instead of hours.
It’s easy for a window company to install their new windows if they say to cut the stucco.
However, this leads to a hairline crack around the perimeter.
Plus, the blade will often slice through the waterproof membrane, which is not good.
So, how do you stucco a replacement window? Easy, it’s all here in this easy-to-understand video.
You install new windows around your home and break them out properly;
Thus no need to worry about leaking or hairline cracks.
It’s best to break out the perimeter with an electric or battery-operated rotary hammer with a half-inch bit, as in the below video.
In this quick how-to video, I’m improvising. I told the homeowner I would apply a bonding agent and the perimeter but could not guarantee a hairline wouldn’t form the edge where the saw cut in the stucco was done.
I doubled up the bonding agent’s full strength around the opening and the inner saw coat and added extra wire to prevent any hairlines from happening.
Beautiful. Loved this demonstration!
Thank you so much!
Kirk. You are a living example of the last of the hard working blue collar American man and the best stucco guy I've seen. You da man.

Not only does covering the window make clean-up fast, it shows the home owner you are a professional. The guy that thinks he is better because he doesn't cover windows is not at your level for sure. You are highly skilled and make great videos. I Have a home in Dublin and now feel like I can take care of some stress cracks on my own....thank you

thanks for the lesson, did my first patch job thanks to your video, keys i learned from your videos: use latex bonding agent, taper the edge so you get a keystone effect to hold the patch in, and get your mixture right!

Really learning a lot from your videos Kurt. I will be building a block wall next year (contracting out) with skim coat to finish and am arming myself with info from your videos. Can't wait to see the Filipino's expression when I tell them to finish the skim coat with a hard rubber float and I will check into whether white cement is available here so I can color with a brown sand mixed in.

Quick stucco fix around a window, saw cut stucco
Great video, have a bunch of windows to replace,, used to do straight saw cuts around, now am going to have another avenue to try. Weldcrete on the old stucco to enhance adhesion , nice.
Evening Al, Weld Crete is usually found at plastering yards or you can click the link above in the description and order it.
If you're at Home Depot or Lowes, another good product or similar is, "Quikrete bonding agent or adhesive."

Kirk. For interior plastering a ceiling or walls, I see your materials are white plaster while the boys in the U.K. use a brown coat. Do we have that Brown plaster in the USA?
Evening Spencer, most cement plasters are grey, we call the second coat a brown coat, however it too is gray just like sidewalks.

It's definitely an art...I enjoy the observations of technique and finish when you are matching styles, very interesting......I have a client who actually wants the stucco cut away from her window to build a wood frame around it to match the frames around her other windows.....it would be a similar gap to what you filled in here.....Not sure why she wants to do it, but that's how it is I guess.....
kjv-study Hello KJV-study dude, If it were me I would leave the stucco alone as this cutting will compromise the paper membrane under the stucco, thus, creating a leak.
I would simply use wood that can be saw cut and placed over the existing stucco, no worries about leaking stucco this way.
Best wishes,
kirk giordano plastering
cool thanks for the advice, I was able to advise against it for now, but the idea is still in the clients mind, she really wants to do it...I assumed that I would probably have to put some new paper in and really caulk the heck out of everything.....I don't want to do it though, as the current stucco is intact.....The window is under a pretty large eve, so it's not getting constant water on it when it rains....The only problem with just putting the facade over the stucco is that the stucco makes a beveled edge off the window, so you can't bring the wood up the the edge of the window properly. I suppose we could bust the stucco out properly so there are keys and then re-stucco the busted out area up to the new window frame. Still I really didn't like the idea of compromising good stucco just to have a small aesthetic change made...By the way I have really enjoyed your videos, the art and industry of it is very interesting, and I really enjoy watching y'all work.....much appreciated....
Morning Study Dude, go with your instincts, if your subconscious is saying don't do it, you are foreseeing your future lawsuit,
no joke.
I don't compromise my gut instincts anymore. They will conveniently forget your strong opposition to this foolish task or will sell the home therefore you are still liable when it fail.
You can also get them to sign a disclosure, now you have to keep this burden or letter in your desk for the next 10 years, your call.
BTW, a number of years ago, being a real nice fella as the homeowners had to have their desires met, my insurance paid out 70,000 dollars.
Best wishes either way.
Kirk giordano Plastering
Aha...I see your point....most definitely much to consider..... Much appreciated.
Kirk & Jason Giordanos DIY plastering and stucco tips : Love your videos, because you are a pro you make it look easy. I retired recently, but my specialty was on site carpet dying and repair and I agree with you 100%, if you have real doubts or concerns, don't do the job. I always gave my customers an honest opinion if a carpet can be saved or needs to be replaced. Even with a few jobs I turned down now and then I still had plenty of work. It is better not to do a job and have a disappointed client than to do a job that comes out badly and have a pissed off client.
Such an excellent job. I learned a lot
Good evening Giovannie, coll beans my friend happy to be of assistance. 🤔
Such an awesome dude you are. Love watching these videos and learning. You’re too funny lol. Talking about the guy in the hot tub with the new windows. Looks like shit LOL. So funny. Keep up the hard work your a cool dude
@@chadjelliston5652 Morning Chad, you are too kind, thank you. 😉
Hey Kirk great vids!!
Just wondering if you could do a video on how well you clean your tools. In most of your videos you say how the 20 minute muds and the concrete based muds where you use the accelerators if the tools/buckets are dirty the drying time is exponentially shortened.
I'm pretty anal about cleaning my tools but I think a vid on that would really help the diy'er or the carpenter who is trying to spackle like me.
Thanks again

No worries, Brad goose, will do,

Wish someone like you had done the house I bought. I have windows that open outward, they sealed up the top with stucco, and filled the hinges with caulking. almost two years later I'm trying to figure out how to free up the windows so I can get some fresh air moving through the house.

Howdy Eric Dude, you are too kind, thank you.
Always tape and cover. I can only dream of a day where GA goes mostly towards cementitious finish coats. Everything here has acrylic on it (HC and EIfS). Would you ever hire a painter that doesn't use dropcloths? Keep on keeping on Kirk & family!
Evening 307themiser, thank you,
man, those acrylic's finishes are a covering nightmare, way tougher than the cementitious cement I am applying here.
I start a big two story next week where we are applying an acrylic finish coat.

Hi Kirk, I definately agree about covering the windows and doors, as you say, it saves you a ton of time later and the man that thinks he is faster than you is talking out of his glutimus maximus, in fact I reckon that you two should have a contest with the loser having to run around the nearest town in his underpants.
I'm not sure I actually like the skip trowel look, it reminds me of 1970's artex, but having said that here in the UK many homes have the pebble dash look which many folks also cannot stand. One thing that does look great on homes is pargetting, ie, designs in the render by freehand or else a design carved into a wood block and then this is stamped into the green mortar.
I did a short course on the subject with an excellent craftsman called Bill Sargent, he is a real expert in his work and I think a little pargetting work can add a bit of extra value to a home especially a small feature over a window or door top.
Live long and prosper KG.
Morning Peter Dude, I agree, some texture are cooler than others,l with a bit of old world charm.
On most stucco repairs we basically match the existing finish.

Excellent demonstration. I have been dreading the day I will need to replace my aluminum frame windows, but this video may give me courage to tackle it. I have a sand finish, so it might be a bit harder to camouflage than with a rougher texture. Should a do straight cut or make it jagged? I suspect an elastomeric finish will cover any hairline crafts should they develop. Thanks again.
Good Evening Rich dude, a sand finish is the easiest to learn, type in how too do a stucco sand finish, you will be relived as we have many videos that explain with clarity.😉

Hello my friend, thank you for the kinds words🕵🏼
Hey Kirk,
Been down a window/patio door rabbit hole lately. All these nail fin windows provide somewhere for the stucco to butt into at the window - simple.
I see some big aluminum doors, bifold, etc (fancy) where the stucco is at a clean 90 degree off a flat frame. So the wall is offset (proud) a stucco thickness from the flat window frame. There is no flange the stucco butts into. So I see it has to make a 90 degree to join the face of the window/door. A bit like a J trim. How do you guys do that? Do you use a cheater bar, a Jig, or something to get a clean 90 degree edge on top of a flat flange?
That sounds confusing but without image it's best I can describe. Would love to see more industrial windows and door set up on here if you guyts do em!
Good morning, we don't do anything when we have that situation. To see the J-Trim one-eith-inch return is not a bad thing. I see all kinds of flanges or trims, that are not noticed by the average person. As long as they are functional and necessary. No big deal. In fact, the video we are uploading today shows a window that installed cockeyed, we had to put a heavy texture just to blend it in. Cheers.
hi Kirk, like ur video, u done a wonderful job. Would you tell me, what kindf product do you use to fill the gap around the window? I m going to replace my old window, but the new one is smaller than the old. I know i need to fill the space surround the sill, but i dot know what i should use. Thanks a lot!
Hello life is good, thank you, the product is rapid set sold at home depot, you just add water, don't overmix, 3 to 5 minutes max, then apply.
FYI, I make it look easier than it is.
Cheers and have a Happy New Years, Kirk Giordano’s DIY plastering tips
Kirk & Jason Giordanos DIY plastering and stucco instructional videos and forum Thank you Kirk, for the quick reply. Do you know the name of the product? I asked one guy from HD, he pointed the Pro Finish Crack Resistant Concrete Mix, can i use this one, thanks.
Kirk, I have to say I am hooked on watching your videos and I'm a painter! I think its the attention to detail and the amazing perfectionism that I admire I am the same way. It is so good to see such quality work. I do have a question I notice you always where a back belt which is smart! Is it due to a back injury or just to prevent one I am asking because I have a back injury from a car accident. Also could you tell me which back belt you like the best to work in ie brand where you buy them etc. Thank you again for so many amazing videos have a great night. Paul
Hi Paul, thank you. I wear the back braces for extra support, I do some weird twisting, lifting and pulling.
Since I'm no spring chicken it helps in avoiding injuries.
As far as the name, I buy whatever happens to be sold at the spots stores and is comfortable.
I have been wearing them for about 25 years, they really help.
Best wishes,
Kirk & Jason Giordano’s DIY plastering and stucco network
Thank you I am also getting up there no spring chicken either and with my back injury makes thing tough going to go find a belt tomorrow and see if it helps. Sorry for all the dumb questions I just found your channel a few days ago and I am hooked. Thanks again your a class act my friend have a great night.
Hi Paul, if you going to get one make certain it's full in the back and curves up on the sides so it can be worn for 8 hours.
If it does not have the curve it can actually hurt after say 4 hours.
I'm at my desk now, the belts are in my truck so I don't know the name, but they came from big 5.
In other words it should not rub on your hip bones.
Have a good evening.

Perfect I will check big 5 tomorrow I really nee one just trying to make things a little safer that's also why I asked about the shirts. I'm trying to paint a few more years with this back injury and not make it worse daughter is in college need to keep working. Its primarily the twisting, bending over all day that hurts later that day of course I am not lifting the heavy weight you are thanks again I will try anything at this point.
Hey Paul, there's alway aspirin and or Noco's.
When I get to beat up, and have to finish the day I take them like tic tac's.

Kirk Giordano’s plastering “how to” video’s
Thank you for the advice
No problemo.
Kirk. Show us please how you tape that plastic to the window. It looks as if you taped a square of plastic to the window. That looks time consuming. But, maybe not. Painters use a hand Masker that rolls out a spool of plastic and tape together: as the plastic comes out, so does the tape.
Howdy Spencer, as a rule I prefer a vinyl tape as it adheres better, yes it sometimes pulls the paint off, but that's the nature of covering windows.
The interior blue tape is great also but will not adhere throughout the evening, this is why I keep a large stock of Vinyl tape on my truck.
Below are a couple video's that show how we do it,

You're welcome. cheers
Great video. Thanks! And now a question: I have a very similar situation as in your video but the wire was removed when the stucco was cut. Advice on how to proceed with the patch when there's no wire in place? Thanks!
Hello Esther, you would have to add more wire, its best to chisel or break out a little bit of existing stucco netting also to avoid a perimeter hairline crack to. Its best but up to you, if you dont break out some of the original, you may end up with a crack, this crack can be caulked with Mor-Flexx caulking if you choose to go that route🤔
Good professional job
Good evening Sophia, thank you.😉
Hired someone to do this (in Florida) .. he showed up with two bags of plaster of Paris. That’s it. We sent him away- are you using only Portland cement for brown coat and cement/sand for finish?
Yes, as plaster of Paris for casting or interior plastering.👨🏻🔬
You the man
LOL, I've had a lot of practice.
Hey Kirk
If I am using a regular base coat like from Home Depot how long should I wait in between scratch and brown.
Thanks
Good morning Forever Dude, most cure times between coat is 48 hours,
FYI, home depot does sell Rapid set which you can apply both coats, same day, boxes come in 10 or 25-pound boxes and of course, 94 pond sacks which have sand and cement already in the bags, you just add water, don't overmix this material 3 to 5 minutes max.

I have not used this product yet, however the bag say's its a ready mixed mortar that is used for all Plastering and Masonry works.
Just add water, read the bag as some products you can't overmix.
La Habra is fine for any finish coat,
best wishes,

Hi kirk, do you caulk around the window after you do the parging. ? I am adding basement windows, and there will be some gaps around them. Should I parge, and then caulk around the wood frame? Or should I fill the gaps with foam and caulk, and then fill in the spots with parging mortar?
Thanks for all your advice btw:)
Hello Vanessa, It's best to use calking as it's water-resistant where mortar or stucco is not.😏
awesomely well done..wow..
Good Morning K B, thank you.

Hi Mike, too funny, I do try and keep my regular vocabulary out of the videos, but sometimes a few words sneak back in.

Thanks so much for all the videos - I have this issue with the saw cut. My areas with no stucco are quite large - 8 windows and a french door - so I have papered, wired and caulked everything, should I chip the edges? or leave em alone and use welcrete?? TIA
Howdy Greg Schexnayder dude, more important then this is to wash away all the dust, nothing sticks to dust.
I prefer to rough up my edges just a bit, if only with the claw of a hammer for a tighter bite, after roughing up, clean well, apply a bonding agent than plaster as usual.
Cheers!

+Kirk & Jason Giordanos DIY plastering and stucco tips Thanks, yes the dust is kinda overwhelming- by wash away, I am assuming I would use a blower or dry paint brush followed by a vacuum if possible? Thanks dude!
Hello BaJapalm, for me it's best to use a water hose with a nozzle as I don't wish to inhale any dust, Yea, this makes the project last a bit longer but is my preferred way when possible.
Cheers!

If you have a stucco crack because of paint can you clean it up and apply the stucco recommended from Lowe’s?
Not sure of what you're asking, Cracks should be filled with caulking, Quality paints can indeed flood some hairline cracking.🕵🏼
so like in this case... it's fine as there's a large overhang, but if there was a ton of water raining down pouring on top of the stucco above the window here... is there any flashing? like where would water that gets behind the stucco escape above this window?
Hi Phil, One has to do the best possible with what they have to work with. To fuse the window frame to the paper and flashing is the absolute best, especially if Sikaflex 1A caulking is used. I prefer all folks add a metal z-flash on the tops of windows. However, we do the best we know how when seeing how the contractors left the windows. I have walked off my share of jobs where windows were installed pitifully. 🤔
Excellent work sir! You are an artisan! Wish you could work in Long Beach, CA.. Anyone you could recommend? Thanks!
Hello my friend, I wish I did live at long beach, sorry, I don't know anyone, I'd recommend you yelp, "Plastering contractors in my area." Kirk giordano
Hi Kirk!
Does it matter that there was no flashing that skirted out to the old stucco?
Howdy Post dude, do you mean, does it matter that I didn't apply the new texture over the existing walls? Sorry, I am not familiar with the term, "skirted out" 🤔
@@StuccoPlastering - Sorry, I meant metal flashing for the top of the window. I'm guessing that because the window had fins attached it [rovided a barrier. If the window had not had fins, wouldn't it have been good to put a drip edge metal flashing on the top edge of the new window?
Hello my friend, If any window doesn't have flanges, they should not be installed in or on any walls. Can I a person waterproof a window with no flanges? yes, however, they would have to rely on an adhesive polyurethane sealant caulking, Like Sika-Flex 1A. 🍻
Asking since the video started with plastering, was there any special technique for the paper and flashing for the window?
Evening Rick Dude, absalutly, type in how to lath on our channel to see how it's done.

I just replaced 8 windows in my home and i need to do the stucco now. What materials will i need to get the job done.?
Good evening Manuel, the stucco I used is in the descriptions.😏
Do you ever put brick molding around the window after it is cut.
RC unleashed Hi RC, I just do the stucco work, however many contractors do install this trim prior to my application of stucco.
Best wishes,

What's scratch and brown mean please.
Evening Spencer, the first coat of stucco is called a scratch coat the second coat is called the brown coat,
Can Ol Kirk apply just a single coat instead of two?
You betcha.
Will this one coat be as strong as two as long as it's the same depth?
great question, glad you again, again, you betcha.

Hi Kirk, We own a 30 year old stucco exterior home. We are replacing windows and want the best possible seal. Planning on new construction, vs retro. Is this the right decision? Thank you. Your videos are super helpful!
Good Morning Darren Dude, yes as retrofits rely on caulking instead of proper lathing.
I have been called many times to correct retrofits when or if the caulking fails

@@StuccoPlastering whats a retrofit kirk?
@@Lawless187indika Howdy Good question, that's when they remove a window and insert a new one without breaking out the existing ones. Retrofits last as long as caulking does. Not long.🍾
@@StuccoPlastering ahh,essesntially using the old "frame" and fitting new windows. Think i Got it!. We twist out our own terminologies here in the islands, rarely hear the term retrofit. .. keep em going sir!, i learnt so many useful bits and gems from you over the last some years. Blessup!
