If you are looking for a smooth look, you might try premade cement panels. If you don't need it to look smooth, you can use brick or stone-looking panels. All panels can be attached with liquid nail, so will need a secure base (if the cement under the liquid nail falls off the panel will not be secure in that area).
I don’t know if you have a brick chimney or not, but the attached article may help anyway. Please pay special note to the section under stucco, prep work. I can’t help but wonder if your contractors didn’t skip a step or two.
I don’t care if you’re baking a cake or facing a chimney. Prep work is the most important part.
