Stucco repair and replastering

Nevada C‑17 Lath & Plaster · #0092664

A crack in Las Vegas stucco is a symptom. Filling it without establishing what moved is how the same crack returns in the same place, and the second repair costs more than the first because the first one is now part of the problem.

  1. 01 Read it

    A crack is
    a symptom.

    A diagonal off a window corner is stress where the opening interrupts the wall. White salt bloom on the surface means water is moving through the plaster. Each points somewhere different, so the cause comes first.

  2. 02 Open it

    Look behind
    the surface.

    The damaged area gets cut back to the sheathing, so the paper and what sits behind it can be checked. Filler over a wall that is still moving is how the same crack returns.

  3. 03 Rebuild

    Lap the new
    into the old.

    New building paper goes in under the existing paper above it, so water running down the wall stays outside. Then come lath, a scratch coat and a brown coat, each left to set before the next.

  4. 04 Match

    A repair nobody
    can find.

    Samples on the actual wall, viewed in daylight, settle the finish before the repair is committed. NXG’s plaster partners apply it under its C-17 license.

What It Involves

Find out why
before you patch.

What the crack is telling you

Fine map cracking across a field is usually the plaster itself and often cosmetic. A diagonal running off a window or door corner is stress concentrating where the opening interrupts the wall. A stepped crack that follows the block or the framing line suggests movement in what is behind it.

Moisture staining and efflorescence point at water moving through the wall. A hollow sound under a tap means the plaster has lost its bond to what is behind it.

Patching, or replastering

A localized repair is right when the wall is sound and the damage is contained. Once a wall has enough repairs on it, or the substrate is the problem, patching becomes a way of spending money slowly.

A full replaster resets the surface, buries the history, and is the point at which control joints and details that should have been there originally can be put right.

Texture is the part everybody notices

Matching an existing texture comes down to the mix and the hand applying it. A patch that is flat where the wall has movement, or coarse where the wall is fine, is visible from the street for as long as the house stands.

NXG holds the C-17 license and answers for the finish its plaster partners apply. Samples on the wall prove the match before the repair is committed.

Common Questions

What owners ask
about cracks.

Why did my last stucco repair crack again?

Often because nobody dealt with the movement that caused it, or the patch never bonded to the old plaster. Filler bridges a gap, and the wall keeps moving under it, so find the cause before you repair.

Can you match my existing texture?

Yes, and NXG proves it before committing: samples on the actual wall, viewed in daylight, next to the finish they have to sit beside. A texture matched under a work light and approved indoors is a different texture outdoors.

Patch or replaster the whole house?

Patch while the wall is sound and the damage is local. Replaster once the repairs are accumulating, the substrate is implicated, or you want the details that were missing originally put in properly. We will tell you which one you have.

Who does the plaster work?

Licensed plaster partners, under NXG’s contract. NXG holds the C-17 Lath and Plaster license, number 0092664, and answers for the work done under it. It is verifiable with the Nevada State Contractors Board.
