Stucco is a durable and attractive exterior finish, but over time, holes can develop due to weather, wear, or impact. If you're dealing with this issue, here’s how to repair stucco holes effectively.
-
Assess the Damage
Before starting, inspect the area to determine the extent of the damage. For larger holes, professional expertise may be required to ensure a seamless repair.
-
Gather Materials
You'll need stucco mix, a trowel, a stiff brush, and a spray bottle. Ensure you choose a stucco mix that matches your existing finish for a uniform appearance.
-
Prepare the Area
Clean the hole by removing loose debris and dirt. Use a stiff brush and, if necessary, a vacuum to create a smooth surface for the new stucco to adhere.
-
Apply Stucco Mix
Dampen the area with a spray bottle to prevent the stucco from drying too quickly. Apply the mix with a trowel, filling the hole completely. Smooth the surface and texture it to match the surrounding area.
-
Allow for Proper Curing
Let the repair cure as instructed, typically over 24-48 hours.
