 Damage to any part of your office or business can
displace employees, disrupt workflow and cut into
your profit margin.
 Whether you need stucco ceiling repair because of a
leaky pipe, a hole in the roof, accident damage,
remodeling problems or some other reason, using
the following tips and techniques will ensure that
your clients and customers will never be able to tell
where the damaged area used to be.
Introduction

3. 
 The first step in stucco ceiling repair is to fix
whatever caused the destruction.
 In the case of water damage, make sure plumbing or
roofing repair work is complete before you begin, or
any stucco repair work you do will be in vain.
Repair Problems Causing
The Damage

4. 
 If the damage is minimal and limited to water marks
and discoloration, you may only need to paint your
office ceiling with a fresh coat of paint.
 If there is warping or an actual hole in the ceiling,
additional steps must be taken to remove the
damaged section and replace it and the stucco
overlay.

The Damage

5. 
 Make sure to temporarily cut power to the section of
your business where you need to make the stucco
ceiling repair. Blindly cutting into a ceiling with the
power on can result in electrocution if you do not
take precautions.
Prepare The Surface

6. 
 Wearing safety goggles and gloves, erect a sturdy
ladder or work platform underneath the damaged
portion of the stucco ceiling. Examine the damage as
closely as possible. Use a ceiling knife to carefully
remove all damaged material including the drywall
underneath the stucco if necessary. By keeping the
area that you cut out as small as possible, you will
make the repair much quicker and easier.
Prepare The Surface

7. 
 With the damaged portion of the ceiling removed,
replace the drywall if necessary, and spread a fresh
layer of drywall compound over the affected area.
 Try to build up the area with a series of thin layers
rather than with one thick layer.
Make Drywall Repairs

8. 
 Follow the manufacturer’s directions for drying in
between the coats of compound.
 When the drywall repair reaches the same level as
the ceiling underneath the surrounding undamaged
stucco, stop.

9. 
 Spraying stucco is not difficult, but it takes a
practiced and steady hand to match repairs with the
surrounding material.
 You may need to do some practice spraying before
you feel confident enough to tackle the actual repair.
Apply Fresh Coat of Stucco

10. 
 A large piece of unused cardboard makes an
excellent practice surface on which to work.
 Squeeze the spray handle lightly, and move the
nozzle back and forth gently as you apply the stucco
to the correct level and texture.

11. 
 When you are ready to spray the ceiling area, use the
same technique that you did when you were
practicing.
 Apply the stucco sparingly and with care. It is best to
add thin layers and multiple coats to match the
surrounding undamaged areas.

12. 
 Allow the stucco to dry according to the
manufacturer’s instructions before painting.
 You may be tempted to paint the newly stuccoed
area only, but the stucco ceiling repair will be less
visible if you repaint the entire ceiling instead.

13. 
 It is important to keep in mind that these types of
repairs can be tricky.
 If you are ever in doubt, you should look to hire a
professional painter or stucco repair specialist. That
way, you can save yourself, and your business time
and money.
