Cinder Block Fireplace Project

Applying Stucco to an Outdoor Chimney


This was an older chimney that really needed to be touched up and after we added a couple of coats, it was transformed into something that was a lot more pleasing to the eye. 

The first thing we needed to do was to do a thorough pressure washing over the entire surface in order to remove any dirt that was present.

After that, a thin base coat was applied directly to the cinder blocks. The last step was to apply two coats of a fine, cement based stucco finish.

The finish coat really did look a lot like the base coat because the color had a gray hue to it, so it was hard to tell the difference between the base coat and the finish coat.

  • Type of Project: Refreshing old cinder block chimney
  • Process of Repair: Pressure was the entire chimney, apply a skim/base coat and the a fine finish was applied (cement based).
  • Stucco System: Two coat stucco system (base coat and finish)
  • Location of Project: Grass Valley, California
