Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my stucco cracking?
Stucco cracks from various causes: house settling, thermal expansion/contraction, moisture intrusion, improper installation, or age. We identify the specific cause to ensure proper repair.
Are stucco cracks serious?
Even small cracks can allow water behind the stucco, leading to mold, rot, and structural damage. It's best to address cracks promptly before they worsen.
How long do stucco crack repairs last?
Our repairs are designed to last 10+ years. We use flexible, weather-resistant materials specifically formulated for Florida's climate.
What is EIFS and can you repair it?
EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) is a synthetic stucco system that looks similar to traditional stucco but uses foam insulation board beneath a thin finish coat. EIFS requires different repair techniques than traditional three-coat or one-coat stucco. We repair both traditional stucco and EIFS systems throughout St. Johns County.
How do I find a licensed stucco contractor in St. Augustine?
Florida requires stucco contractors to hold a state-certified or registered plastering and stucco license. Ask for license number verification and proof of general liability insurance before any work begins. Stucco Home Repair is fully licensed and insured for all stucco work in St. Johns County and Northeast Florida.
What causes stucco to delaminate or pull away from the wall?
Delamination occurs when stucco separates from the substrate — usually due to water infiltration behind the stucco layer, improper application of the original coat, missing or deteriorated moisture barrier, or prolonged exposure to moisture. Delaminated sections sound hollow when tapped. This type of damage requires section removal and replacement rather than surface patching.
How do you repair stucco around windows and doors in St. Augustine?
Window and door corners are the most common crack locations in St. Augustine homes due to structural movement and thermal expansion. We cut back cracked sections, address any flashing or sealant failures causing water entry, and re-apply stucco with fiberglass mesh reinforcement at stress points to prevent recurrence.
Do you offer re-stucco services for entire homes in St. Johns County?
Yes. For homes where repairs are extensive or the existing finish has reached end of life, full re-stucco is often more cost-effective than patching multiple areas. We handle full exterior re-stucco projects for homes throughout St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach, St. Johns, and surrounding St. Johns County communities.
