Stucco repair in Harrisburg
Harrisburg lives with its river. During Hurricane Agnes in June 1972, the city recorded 12.53 inches of rain in a single 24-hour stretch, the heaviest 24-hour total the weather service reported in central Pennsylvania during the storm. On June 24 the Susquehanna crested at 33.27 feet at Harrisburg, nearly twice its 17-foot flood stage and still the top crest on the river forecast center's list. The same list counts 49 floods there, the latest in July 2018.
The city's historic district guidelines call brick the predominant historic masonry here, with granite, limestone, brownstone, marble, cast stone and stucco showing up as styles changed. Shipoke, on the river south of downtown, became one of the city's first two municipal historic districts in 1974.
That history shapes what the city's Historical Architectural Review Board will accept. Its guidelines quote the federal rehabilitation standards: don't apply coatings such as stucco to masonry as a substitute for repointing and masonry repairs. In plain words, if your brick is losing its mortar, a skim of stucco over the top isn't the fix. Repointing is.
