A New Exterior for a Yardley Home
The homeowner contacted KLM Contractors after noticing dark streaks on the stucco beneath the windows. Following a consultation, the project moved forward with stucco remediation, repairs to the exterior assembly, and new vinyl siding with window and siding trim.
Visible changes in stucco are a reason to investigate. Streaking alone does not identify the water-entry point or establish the extent of damage inside a wall. The assessment and conditions revealed during removal determine the appropriate repair scope.
The Remediation Process
Preparation and Protection
Preparation included scaffolding, protective covers and debris management around the property. Access and protection are planned before the exterior is opened so the removal and reconstruction stages can proceed in an organized way.
Removal and Inspection
The team removed damaged stucco and deteriorated material and inspected exposed areas for additional moisture damage. Remediation needs to address both damaged materials and the details that allowed water into the assembly. The final repair scope depends on what is found.
Rebuilding the Wall and Openings
Damaged materials were replaced and the wall assembly reconstructed. The work included window removal and reinstallation with water barriers, flashing, window tape and drip caps. These details connect the openings to the wall’s water-management system.
For a new project, discuss the proposed treatment of windows, the drainage path and how any additional concealed damage will be documented and priced. The approach for this home should not be assumed to fit every stucco house.
Vinyl Siding and New Trim
New vinyl siding, window trim and siding trim completed the exterior work. Siding installation must account for the selected product’s fastening, movement, clearances and flashing requirements. The cladding works with the materials and connections behind it to manage weather exposure.
