1. Project Overview • Scope: Apply surface preparation, patching, skim coats (bonding + finish) over current cement-based stucco, replacing only localized delaminated or deteriorated areas. No full removal unless structural failure requires it. • Finish: Dense, smooth cementitious surface — suitable for direct finish paint _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Site Preparation & Protection • Cover landscaping, windows, soffits, HVAC vents, paving, walkways with taped plastic sheeting or drop-cloth. • Block off any parking spots that may be susceptible to excessive dust, or debris _____________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Substrate Prep & Rough-Leveling 3.1 High-Spot Removal • Identify and grind or chip off high ridges, bulges, or rippled stucco to reduce volume of skim-coat material. 3.2 Crack & Penetration Patching • Open cracks >1/16" and back prime. Apply acrylic bonding slurry and embedded mesh tape if required. • Patch holes, gouges with polymer-modified patch compound per manufacturer instructions. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 4. Bonding/Adhesive Base Coat • Apply acrylic or polymer-modified scratch-brown coat (approx. ?"–¼") across elevation or localized panels. This bonds patch areas and evens feathered transitions. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 5. Smooth Finish Coat • Trowel a skim-coat of finish-grade cementitious mortar (0.04–0.08") over bonded substrate. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 6. Inspection, Clean-Up & Final Touch • Remove all masking, tarps, containment, and wash down landscaping. • Joint inspection walkthrough with owner or rep. Confirm: o No visible finish defects, burn marks, voids o Substrate integrity and clean readiness for painting • Allow 24 hours to rectify any punch list items. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 7. Measurement & Payment • Bid as per-square-foot of treated surface. • Include allowances for: o Intensive high spot grinding o Crack/mop-patch work and mesh application • Define start and stop points (vertical height, details, penetration terminations, stop back requirements). _____________________________________________________________________________________ 8. Project Schedule Job Duration – Not to exceed fifteen (15) Calendar days *Extensions will be considered within reason due to weather conditions or can be amended to reflect a more realistic timeframe based on overall feedback from bidders. * _____________________________________________________________________________________ 9. Contractor Responsibilities • If on-site water is needed; the contractor is responsible for acquiring a temporary hydrant meter from the county or bring their own prefilled water tank.
