The Stucco, Synthetic Stucco Inspection Repair and Maintenance Program is copywritten as are the terms contained in the Stucco Retro™ Program. Any misuse or unauthorized use of these documents shall be prohibited by law.

The Stucco Retro™ is specifically designed to address the issues of concern dealing with stucco and synthetic stucco exterior claddings.

Stucco Retro™ does this by presenting a set of inspections, field test and a comprehensive repair specification to ensure the performance of your exterior finish system.

For this program to succeed, Stucco Retro™  has adopted the following posture in regard to certain facts dealing with stucco and synthetic stucco.

• Any repairs performed under this program must be inspected to make sure they are performed as specified.  This important factor has been missing from the installation process.  To insure the quality of the program, inspections and the verification of these inspections are a necessary part of the Stucco Retro™ program.

The inspectors performing the work shall be trained by Exterior Design Institute, Custom Construction, Inc., or a training program approved by Custom Construction, Inc.

Custom Construction certifies that the Operator of the Stucco Retro™ Program in West Tennessee has been trained and certified by Custom Construction, Inc. as an Operator and that its officers are Exterior Design Institute certified.

Introduction to the Program:

The Stucco Retro™  program for stucco and synthetic stucco, offered by Stucco Retro West TN, Inc. takes an aggressive look at the problems sometimes associated with this exterior finish system and offers simple and straightforward solutions.  This Program is designed to offer confidence to the homeowners that his/her investment is being protected against current and potential problem areas.  The Program requires three separate, yet consecutive steps in order to obtain its full benefit; however, as the homeowner, you will have the option to choose the extent of the Program you wish to follow.

The first step of the program is the initial inspection.   Stucco Retro West TN, Inc.  will determine the type of exterior finish on the home by visual observation and evaluation.  The First Inspection Report will also detail the current performance of the finish system and note any areas of concern.

The second step requires a more extensive and intrusive Field Test on the home's exterior finish system, including structural evaluation to further analyze its performance.  In addition to the test, Stucco Retro West TN, Inc. will detail any suggested repairs observed during the testing in the Retro Spec™.

The third step is the warranty.  If the home requires no repair work, it automatically qualifies for the Stucco Retro™ warranty program, protecting it against any future problems. If repairs were deemed necessary, the warranty would be available upon completion of the required repair work.

Please read each section carefully for a more complete description of each step.
