The first step to repair stucco is to break it loose. Use a hammer and a cold chisel to remove stucco from surface. Be careful not to damage the underlying lath support. Protect your eyes from flying particles. Continue to lose stucco until you have reached stucco that is firmly adhered to its lath. Remove and cut metal mesh with snips.
