Ready to Seal Stucco and the Roof


Well, we finally made a decision on stucco sealer and will be doing some work on our flat concrete roof as well. We have decided on products from an Oregon company called Ames Research (www.amesresearch.com).

After alot of discussion with their techs re: our particular needs, for the exterior stucco walls, we'll use two coats of the clear Super Primer product so that we can get a good, deep seal and retain the color of our existing stucco. We'll probably end up with a more satin-y sheen, but we can live with that.

For the roof, we are going to prime and seam tape all cracks, roof penetrations, junctures of the parapet walls and flat roof surfaces and anything else that looks like a seam. This will be followed 2 coats of the Blue Max product and 2 additional topcoats of their Maximum Stretch product on all parapet wall and flat roof surface. This, in theory, should provide a continuous and impervious, rubberized roof cover.

This will be a grand experiment and we'll try to get pictures taken along the way to share with those who may be interested in the process. We'll have to wait for the first chubasco or hurricane to see just how effective we've been in keeping the stucco dry and the interior of the house from becoming a swimming pool again.
