So I bought a house a while back that turned out to be a patchwork of gorilla tier poor decisions
Now I’m dealing with exterior finishes - the bottom bead of the stucco is bent to hell for about a 12 yard run. Not only that, but it was simply applied over an equally mangled vinyl siding which now lays underneath.
All the stucco guys in my county are booked through the summer. My question to any stucco guys in here: am I missing anything in the following repair procedure?
>find a level line some 6” above the edge with a laser level
>cut along the line using an angle grinder
>knock out stucco
>remove vinyl
>remove plywood
>reattach plywood
>reattach more plywood to match the “undersiding” thickness
>tar paper + lath
>casing bead in a neat line along the bottom edge
>plaster the whole thing (scratch, brown, texture)
>paint
I’m selling the place in 6 months and have little stucco experience. Don’t know if it’s worth the risk, but the returns on curb appeal would be palpable
