Pompano Beach · Broward CountyHalf the chimneys in Broward wear stucco — and stucco has its own ways of failing in beach weather.
Drive any street west of A1A and most chimneys you'll see are stucco — over concrete block on the mid-century ranches, over framed chases on newer builds. Stucco is a great South Florida skin until water gets behind it: hairlines grow into cracks, areas turn hollow under a knuckle-tap, and separated patches finally let go, usually starting up high, where a tired crown admits the first moisture.
Real stucco repair is about the layers beneath. We open failed sections back to sound substrate, fix what let the water in, rebuild base and finish coats, and then do the part homeowners actually see: matching your existing texture and finish so the patch doesn't announce itself across the driveway.
Cracked, hollow, and delaminated zones located — including the not-yet-visible ones.
The block, lath, or sheathing behind the failure is corrected first.
Base and finish coats rebuilt properly — no smear-overs.
The finish is matched to your wall so the repair disappears.
We map the failure honestly — repairs sized to reality, not to a guess.
Substrate, base, and finish restored in the right order.
Texture and finish matched so the chimney reads as one piece again.

Because that's where the water enters — a cracked crown or worn cap flashing feeds moisture behind the stucco, and gravity does the rest. Fixing the entry point is part of any honest repair.
Hairlines sometimes, briefly. Structural cracks and hollow zones mean the bond behind the surface has failed — sealing the face just hides the progression.
Texture matching is a craft we take seriously — knockdown, sand, smooth, whatever your wall wears. Fresh finish weathers in within months.
Neither is worse; they fail differently. Stucco hides water longer and then fails in patches, which is why the hollow-sound check matters on coastal homes.
Yes — framed chases add a rot conversation to the stucco one, and we're equipped for both sides of that repair.
