Denver-area stucco contractor recommendation?

Question

Hi all,

A business buddy and I are currently working on buying an investment property. but the inspection uncovered some potential problems with the stucco (full findings below).

Any recommendation for a stucco contractor that can evaluate the issues?

Thanks much!

Michael

- " The moisture content of the stucco was tested on the north side of the house with a non invasive moisture meter. The moisture content increased as the meter was moved down the wall. The stucco is in contact with the ground/rock on all sides of the house. ...the drywall in the NW corner of the master bedroom was sometimes "mushy". "

-" Cracks were observed in the stucco . Damaged stucco was observed around some windows"

Emilio,

Thx much for your reply. I'm getting the prop inspected on stucco specifically now, but have yet to find the contractor that will take care of it if problems are found.

Regards,

Michael

Sorry can't recommend a contractor. Try calling Proburo and see if they can help you out or refer someone.  Talk to your inspector, but usually water problems will effect the entire wall system. You're seeing the damage that is visual, but without destructive testing you'll never know what the extent of the damage is inside the walls. If this has been happening for years or longer you could have a million other problems besides cracked stucco.  Maybe you're aware of that already.
