Saw cutting stucco, Removing stucco safely
Hi guys, this video show only a small area of what we did to this complete home. Trust me you are better off paying a professional company to remove stucco. (extremely hard and dangerous work), If you are planning a simple tie in I would recommend a (Bosch) Bull dog hammer chisel. It’s real important to wear a dust mask and a quality pair of glasses or goggles. You should also check with mold abatement in you city, to see if the stucco has asbestos or lead in it. If so a special license is required to remove it. Good luck.

Saw cutting stucco, Removing stucco safely
Great way to show us how to remove stucco without actually telling us anything about how to remove stucco…
Sorry hobbiekid, sometimes I forget I have to show rather than just explain. Cheers. Kirk and family
Will a Dremel Ultasaw with a diamond blade (cuts 3/4" depth) work on cutting off stucco? At least a small section, like 14" x 14"?
Hi Slap Stick, no worries, if your Dremel works, let me know, as I'm curious of it's power.
Good luck with the nasty job of stucco removal.

@Kirk & Jason Giordano's DIY plastering and stucco network I will do that. Hopefully, I'll get to it this week.
@Kirk & Jason Giordano's DIY plastering and stucco network Hi guys, I used the Dremel with a masonry disk and it cut quickly, but only 3/4 of an inch, which was not deep enough. The sheetrock or whatever it is underneath the stucco was an additional inch. It was a very tough material. The spinning kicked up a ton of dust, so it wasn't too pleasant. I ended up using my old cordless 12V Milwaukee Hacksaw with a carbide masonry blade made by some other company to finish cutting out the hole. Took15 minutes for a 14" X 14" square.
Hey Slap Stick, dust, man thats the worst, that's the main reasons why I don't use a circular saw or grinder.
Too much mess, plus it can place the dust all over the other homes in the neighborhood, you never know if the paint has lead either and folks like me who are licensed can open themselves up to lawsuits.
I stick with the bosch bulldog rotary hammer for simply breakouts, using a half inch bit. A pointed tip destroys the paper while a 1 inch two two inch bit takes too long to break it out.
This roto hammer using high intensity rather than muscle which will compromise the paper membrane.
best wishes and glad you got her done.

@Kirk & Jason Giordano's DIY plastering and stucco network I agree. Safer is better, even if it costs more. I don't expect to cut any more holes in walls, so luckily thats it for me. Thanks for all your help.
What kind of saw blade should one use to cut stucco? I'm trying to install ledger board on my house to build an attached shade structure . Thank you very much.
How deep do you set your saw blade?
what was labor cost for a 17×50 wall????
