Stucco
Lumin Stucco System: BASF Base Coat, BASF Mesh, BASF Finish Coat, BASF Caulking. Stucco is a common exterior system used up and down the front range. Once hail damages stucco, there is one right way to fix the problem. All manufacturers have specific recommendations when addressing impacts to stucco systems. The most commonly used repair method is outlined here:
- Cut out a generous portion of the surrounding of the impact, ensuring there is no watter trapped between the Foam and the interior wall. If moisture is found a larger portion is to be removed until there are no more signs of moisture. If plywood is damaged the plywood is to be replaced to ensure the integrity of the structure.
- Replace the cut out portion with rigid foam insulation to match the existing foam system.
- Install a moisture barrier around the repairs.
- Apply a cementitious brown coat evenly around the repair. Continuing the brown coat evenly over the entire elevation of the structure. This is the most important part of the stucco resurfacing project.
- Embed a synthetic mesh in the brown coat to combat against cracking caused from structural settling.
- Let the brown coat cure anywhere from 3 to 7 days.
- Install a color coated finish coat either matching the existing texture of the house or if resurfacing the entire house in a complete different texture! Stucco textures can be seen below.
AAMA
Windows
Lumin Window Systems: Lumin General Contractors uses AAMA (American Architectural Manufacturers Association) recommended methods to make sure there are no leaks through substrates. This system includes removing all necessary exterior trim, siding, or stucco down to the new construction structural wall, installing the window to the existing plywood. If plywood is rotten from unseen water leaks, Lumin will replace the rotten wood. Ice and water guard is then installed around the nailing fin, a drip edge flashing is installed over the top of the window to ensure water will not enter the structure, the trim is then replaced, caulked, and painted. In many cases the interior will need some paint touch ups or possibly some drywall repair after the proper installation of new windows. Our installers are certified and insured to deliver a quality installation backed by Lumin General Contractors!
