Stucco remediation in Central Bucks County, PA
The tear-off jobs. Everything here starts with removing the cladding, because that is the only point at which anyone can see what the water has actually done.
Stucco remediation is the complete removal of stucco down to the sheathing, replacement of the wood the water has rotted, installation of the drainage plane and flashing that were missing, and re-cladding of the wall. It is not a repair or a coating, and it is the work required when moisture testing shows water has reached the sheathing behind the cladding.
| Work | Typical range |
|---|---|
|
Stucco off to the sheathing, rotted wood replaced, the drainage plane and flashing that were missing built properly, then re-clad. The permanent fix rather than another patch. |
$45,000–$140,000 whole job |
|
When the failure is confined to one or two walls — usually the weather side, or the elevation with the roof-wall intersection nobody flashed. |
$18,000–$55,000 whole job |
|
Stucco to fiber cement conversion Remediation where the wall comes back as fiber cement lap or panel rather than stucco. Same tear-off and repair underneath; a different exterior on top. |
$48,000–$135,000 whole job |
|
EIFS / synthetic stucco remediation The foam-board synthetic system, not hard-coat. It fails differently, it has to be tested differently, and barrier-type EIFS has no drainage path at all. |
$40,000–$120,000 whole job |
|
Sheathing and framing repair behind stucco The part of the job nobody can price until the cladding is off: replacing OSB and structural framing that water has already destroyed. |
$6,000–$40,000 whole job |
|
Window and door flashing rebuild Rebuilding the openings that leak: pan flashing under the sill, proper head flashing above, and the sequence of laps that sheds water instead of collecting it. |
$1,200–$3,500 per opening |
|
Manufactured stone veneer remediation Adhered stone veneer on the front elevation fails for the same reasons stucco does, and on the same houses — usually with no weep screed and no clearance at grade. |
$22,000–$70,000 whole job |
