Patch Broken Stucco and Make Your Walls Look New.

I'm replacing an old rusty stucco drip screed along the side of my house where I'm doing a backyard makeover. I will show you how I replaced the drip screed also known as a weep screed, then patch the stucco so it will blend with the existing finish of the house.

Good video, I have a 17 foot section on a second story balcony that all the weep screed is rotted out, stucco is fine. The balcony was installed like a shower pan, with liner and about two inches of thinset tight to the screed, horrible design. Replacing balcony now and was trying to figure out if I should break out the stucco and replace the screed or just cut the screed flashing even with the bottom of the stucco then slide a drip edge behind the screed.

Thanks for the comment. I think as long as moisture can escape out from the bottom of the stucco you should be ok. Also depending on how things are put together it might be challenging to get a drip edge up under and attached behind the old drip screed. Kirk Giordano Plastering Inc. has great stucco videos on TH-cam, he might have a better answer.

Guess you never heard of bounding agent ? No clue !

Are you saying I should have used it on the old stucco because of the paint? I've patched the stucco on 6 replacement windows this way and no issues after 5 years.

Seriously? Chicken wire vs galvinized diamond lathe? Cmon….

It's actually stucco netting that was used when the house was built. I just installed a new drip screed.

@@BruBuilds Makes sense! Super common on older homes! That's what's on mine!
