How to break out Stucco for New Window installation in a Stucco stud wall fast and easy

July 29, 2022 By Kirk Giordano

Is a City permit needed to change windows? If you are planning to change a header, probably.
At least most cities say so. If not, as a rule, no city permits are needed for replacing windows.
If you do have a permit and want to pass a city lath inspection, here’s the method to pass that inspection if you have a home built before 1980, which has no plywood backing.

FYI, when breaking out stucco on a home with no sheer wall or plywood, it’s ten times as difficult and sucks 20 times more than breaking out a home that does indeed have a solid backing.
Homes with solid backing such as plywood became normal or coded around 1980 Yea.
However, millions of homes worldwide have solid backings, too, because many had wood siding, cladding, or substrates to begin with.
Now you know.

Howdy subscribers, below are all the basic tools we use and recommend on Amazon’s website.

Hi guys, Jason here.
I wanted to show you all the steps taken to fix this door install. Unfortunately I ran into some camera trouble with all my batteries being dead, so while charging one I had to finish working the stucco while it set rapidly because of the accelerator.

I still show the breakout, lathing, mixing, and texture application. Hope you enjoy it!

breaking out stucco tips, lathing information

Howdy folk, in this video Jason, Dan and I use Bosch Bulldogs to breakout stucco before we lath these areas. This electric Bosch Rotary hammer is my choice for this type of work after trying every rotary hammer ever made. Also it’s great for drilling into concrete with the hammer and drill working together with masonry drill bits. No wonder I own four of them.
Be sure to check out this video on our website, where you will find lots of other great stucco and plaster tips and videos!

How to remove stucco on a stud wall,
Best way to remove stucco and fix it, Jason Giordano plastering

Hello everyone, on this wall I try and give you an example of why and how to break out stucco as best as possible in order to get the best possible weather barrier.
Stud houses and tying in new lath to existing is tricky and even doing the best one can is subject to failure sometimes. Whenever possible remove the entire wall and start fresh, this is the most effective way but also the most expensive. Sometimes I am forced to have to recommend this method, where patching will do little good.
