If your Doylestown home has failing stucco, remediation is often the best long-term solution. While it can seem like a big project, knowing what to expect helps you prepare both financially and logistically. At North Point Exteriors, here’s how a typical stucco remediation process works.
Inspection and Moisture Testing
The first step is a thorough inspection using moisture meters and thermal imaging. This helps determine how far the water intrusion has spread and whether internal structures like sheathing and framing are affected.
Removal of Old Stucco
Once the plan is in place, the existing stucco is carefully removed. This can be done section by section to minimize disruption. Any rotted wood or insulation behind the stucco will also be replaced at this stage.
Structural Repairs
If moisture has compromised sheathing, framing or window casings, those areas will be repaired or replaced. This ensures the structure is sound and ready for the new exterior system.
Installation of a Moisture-Managed Siding System
Instead of replacing with traditional stucco, many Doylestown homeowners choose to install a new system like fiber cement or vinyl siding with proper moisture barriers. These systems are designed to let trapped moisture escape while protecting your home from future water damage.
Timeline and Cleanup
Most full stucco remediation projects take a few weeks, depending on the size of the home and the extent of the damage. North Point Exteriors handles all necessary permits and leave your property clean and restored.
