FAIMEStucco Repair
in Vaughan
Cracked, hollow or stained stucco on a Vaughan home or commercial building is nearly always water getting in somewhere. FAIME cuts the damage back to sound material, repairs it with mesh, reseals the joints and openings around it, and finishes the wall so the patch and the original read as one surface.
A Vaughan Building,
Repaired Before It Was Painted
On an occupied commercial building in Vaughan, FAIME was the general contractor. Damaged stucco was cut back and patched, brick repaired, joint sealants and window caulking cut out and replaced, and a Venetian finish applied over the repairs, with the same finish used for the parging. The corner quoins were replaced with Canamould stock, then the whole building got two full coats. The tenant stayed open throughout.
Vaughan Stucco
Problems We See
Hollow or Bulging Areas
Stucco that has let go of the wall behind it and sounds dull when tapped.
Stains and White Powder
Rust streaks and efflorescence that point to water moving through the wall.
Old Penetrations
Hose bibs, dead wiring and old fixtures left as holes in the wall, removed and closed.
EIFS Damage
Impact holes and soft spots in Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS), repaired in layers.
Faded or Patchy Walls
A full refinish when the wall is sound but tired, or when patches would show.

Tap Test and Photos at the Site Visit
We sound the wall and mark the hollow areas so the written scope says whether it is a patch, a section or a full refinish, before you pay for any of it.
Find the Water First
Failed caulking, a missing flashing or an old penetration is usually why the stucco broke. It gets named in the scope and fixed in the job.
Damage Cut Back to Sound Material
Loose and cracked stucco comes off. A patch bonded to stucco that is already letting go fails at the old edge.
Mesh Where the Wall Needs It
Fibreglass mesh is embedded in the base coat over cracks and at corners, where movement is expected.
Joints and Openings Resealed
Old sealant and caulking are cut out to clean surfaces, not caulked over, so the new bead has something sound to bond to.
A Finish That Reads as One Wall
Finish colour and texture matched to the existing wall, or the full elevation refinished so no patch shows.
