In this video, we share while showing and explaining how to break out and lath a small stucco patch stucco in a removed air conditioning unit.
The right way to attach stucco lath to existing paper and wire, with tieing in existing stucco.
Attention all, this method is the best for installing new windows and doors; note this method has been used for many years and will be ageless even beyond 2022.
Howdy, guys and gals; in this video, I explain the best tool or method for breaking out stucco on a wall sheathed with an exterior gypsum sheathing, or you can call it sheetrock or drywall, the same stuff.
Whether installing new windows or doors, any roto-hammer is your tool.
We use a battery-operated rotary hammer such as the Milwaukee for all our stucco breakouts for their convenience, not having to look for electrical outlets, and the drag unwinding and rewinding up extension cords.
FYI, gypsum board, sheetrock, and drywall are the same. It’s gypsum with different skins or paper.
Since around the early 90, most folks have been required to be code compliant, with exterior sheer wall backing, plywood sheathing, or OSB board.

Thank you all for watching, and wishing all a great day!
You're the GOAT
Howdy my friend, thank you.
Kirk is such a pro. You can tell by how effortlessy he works while he talks and explains perfectly. thats decades of mastery
@@SETH33933 Hi Seth, man, I like your style.
im a general contractor who knows a lot but never really worked with stucco, these videos are very helpful with some patches I have been doing. Great work, thank you
Howdy yo thguy, thank you,
cheers,

Good morning pcleiter, thank you, the actual thinking when I’m explaining on camera is different from when I’m not. When I’m not explaining on camera I’m usually thinking about a whole bunch of goofy stuff that usually don’t amount to nothing especially when breaking out stucco.
Thanks for watching and have a great day!

This work is way more impressive than the drywall patches I do for sure
Howdy Daniel, thank you my friend🍾
Howdy Andron, You mean my truck? How and where we pick up and load materials and what tools we have and use on our truck? I tell you Andron, having a full size utility truck with an 11 foot bed and custom racks and boxes saves me soooo much time.
I can do this next week.
Best wishes and have a good evening.

Kirk - thanks for all the videos for all of us DIY'ers. I wanted to share a break-out method that worked pretty well for me. It's probably not the best if you're doing a large breakout, but it worked for the smaller job I did in replacing two windows. I used a pneumatic palm nailer. Again, probably not the best tool because dust/stucco could enter the small crevices and damage the nailer...but it was the best option available. I picked one up from Harbor Freight for about $20 so it was worth the risk. BTW, I finished the breakout and the palm nailer still works great.
Howdy Dallas Dude, what's important is you got it done

Hi Kirk, I've been watching for a couple of years now. I enjoy how you explain what you are doing. By the way, how about telling us what you do when you need to break out stucco that has no backing, just stone wire between joists.
Robert Zeis Jr Hi Robert, we have shone this a few times, I believe the key words are how to break out stucco on stud walls.
\Best wishes, and have a fantastic day!

Great job Kirk, great video and explanations. Your a good teacher man. Replacing stucco finished old Ca beach, aluminum crank window frame. a second time. 19 year old vinyls installed within the old frames. Getting moisture and some mold from moisture inside. I think I need to remove old frames , reflash and water proof and install new size window with out old alum frames to prevent moisture issues. I need to redo before winter. Is that a saws all with a slot blade to do breakouts. great idea! Got to get one of those blades for my box! Thanks Live long and...plaster!
Good evening Tim Dude, actually it's a bouch bulldog, it breaks out the stucco the best of the tools I have purchased in the last 20 years and is lightweight.

Hi Kirk, I just discovered your channel and I am already a subscriber and watching your videos non stop. Question: for the caulking, what type are you using in this video? Is it the same as the one you used to fill cracks?
Sikaflex for sealing and adhesive for lathing, and mor-flexx for matching stucco textures.
IF the sheet rock material is already damaged under the stucco, whats the best material to fill in the spaces after removing the loose bits of sheet rock?
Evening Slap Stick, the easiest way is to just add extra stucco to fill the gap.
If you want to recreate the original exterior type of so called exterior gypsum board or sheetrock any sheetrock should do as long as what you do afterwards is watertight.
No need for green or purple board which is mold and moisture resistant as moisture should not go through your new two ply paper anyway.

Hey Kirk! What are your thoughts on growing ivy up a stucco wall? I hear people say that ivy can damage and pull stucco off, but it seems like it would only happen if you try to rip it off of an existing crack or weak spot. Many thanks as always!!!
Howdy Keith, here's the fact, few plants lath themselves to wood or stucco as well as Ivy, it looks pretty and it is, however when the rains come it saturates this plant, the root or buds that attach stay wet for sometimes six months, this continued dampness is not good for wood or stucco.
That being said Your hose your rules.🍾
@@StuccoPlastering Thanks Kirk, you're the man!
@@keithowen4698 Howdy Keith, I wouldn't;t go that far but thank you.🤙
Hi Kirk, I'm going to have to tackle this right after I remove the ac wall unit. Can I use an angle grinder with a carbide blade to cut through the stucco, or will it be too difficult to control the depth of the blade? I certainly don't want to cut through the existing lathe and underlayment.
@@billbradley6380 you can just the blade with a circular saw to half inch, then rough up the edges. Or type in how to break out stucco, Jason and I prefer rotary-hammers.
@@StuccoPlasteringI finally got started on it this weekend. I forgot to ask what to do if the opening is close to a window? Close to the left side of where the ac unit used to be is a window with a strip of old stucco/cement that's less than 2 inches wide between them. I'm concerned that thin strip is going to fall apart if I start cutting or chipping at it. Should I break out the other three sides and leave that side alone?
@@billbradley6380 of course you can, if you cut through the paper use a hammer or roto hammer to break out a few more inches to properly waterproof. The stucco work can look like crap, but you do want it waterproof. 😉
@@StuccoPlastering will do, thanks for all the info! Here's to hoping my stucco work doesn't look like crap, cheers! 😁
@@billbradley6380 you can do it, take you time, perhaps watch a few more how to videos. Cheers
Hi Kirk, what's the best power tool for chiseling out stucco...I see you used the Bosch in this video. Should I get that same one?
Marc Vesta Hi Marc, I have at least 10 to 15 power tools same that cost 400 dollars alone, but prefer this bull dog as it's lightweight, strong and get's the job done.
Best wishes,
Kirk Giordano

Kirk Giordano plastering tip’s
Kirk i took a window out of a stucco wall and now need to inclose the void to match the existing stucco wall. Do you put the paper over studs with insulation between studs? If so than do you just tack the paper to the studs because there is no backing, am I right. My main question is, can I use roofing felt instead of double building paper, as I have a roll of the heavy felt left over from a previous job? Lastly, is that tool you call bulldog a rotohammer for breaking out. Please address all three questions and thx for all your knowledge you generously share. Renee (female journeyman carpenter)
Hi Renee, Yes, paper over the studs tightly and tie into existing paper, you can use a bulldog like the one here for breaking out and two layers of roofing paper is overkill but two layers are necessary.
Cheers,

Hi Kirk.....i live on east coast and on my old house i thought i had stucco BUT it is sheathing lath with plaster over it. It is now peeling but the horsehair plaster is in good condition but needs a coat of plaster over it. I know to put weld crete to make plaster stick but can i use this plaster Dap 10304 25 lb Plaster Wall Patch Exterior ...... thank you
Howdy Sophia, I have not used this product, but if it is endorsed by Dap it must be a great product as Dap is known for quality.
May peace, love, and happiness, find you and yours, always

Teaching do’s and don’t of plastering and stucco work
Hey Kirk is there anything wrong with using rib-lathe there gets me away from the paper real nice. Then I use rapid set stucco. And never had a crack or problem.
Howdy Warren, Rib is used for ceilings as it allows the stucco to mushroom above the lath, but it can be used for walls, too, as It is stronger.😉
WHY the piece of PLYWOOD ?
Something to staple to.
wish you lived in philly, PA
Hi Dan Finan , maybe you can try to do this repair yourself?
With a small bit of attention you can and will save cash, create a sense of euphoria and sleep well knowing, no problemo, I did this repair myself.
plus it's a great workout, sense of accomplishment, what more in life does a righteous person desire?Best wishes,

Why no side tie in though with paper
Evening Shane??? Of course, there is, watch again.🤔
@@StuccoPlastering well watched it on my laptop rather that a phone and sure enough you did... I mean I know you do it right which is why I was asking.. Hell if you hadn't cleared it up I may have just started not overlapping paper anymore and think you came up with something new, :).... 1 other question, on the vertical caulking you mentioned in the video, is your preference to caulk over the wire rather than over top of old paper before sticking on new paper?
I am sorry, but how do you call the tool you used to break the stucco?
Morning Galindo, I prefer the Bosch Bulldog Rotary Hammer, with a half inch bit myself.
