I don't think I would spend too much time trying to figure out how this stucco job and performance got so f??ked up, but rather include in the inspection report, this product has been installed in a fashion that the outcome of the finished product has been deemed unacceptable to the standard of the industry standards.
Major repair is required to rectify the inadequate installation.

This is another common problem I generally find on every building.

Thats nothing a little monkeybutt putty won't fix dale!

It's a real good thing you don't get much rain. It is just cosmetic but with the weepscreed it looks like crap. If they ran the weepscreed to the corner they would need more thickness on the wall to fill it out. Or is that a bad counter flashing attempt?

2 much time 2 much money.

Good luck catching the monkey for the putty!

There is no weep-screed on the second floor walls where they meet the roof on any home I've ever looked at in Arizona.

[Carl A. Brown]

ASTM sure calls for it

We go by the rules west of the Pecos.........."none"............

Every window in the house was like this, just passed final inspection two days ago. City inspectors do not inspect stucco or flashing here.

Don't the window mfgr. call for a backer rod and sealant joint in az. Let alone slopeing the stucco so it will drain out away from the house?

No backer rods in Arizona.

Generally most window pop-outs are sloped toward the frame or dead flat.

[Brian E. Kelly]

Isn't the paper/tyvek under the stryofoam? And the stucco over that?
