Cracks, moisture behind the wall, section replacement and a finish textured to match.

Why it is urgent
Almost every Florida house is stucco on the outside, and almost all stucco eventually cracks. The question is not whether there are cracks. It is what is behind them.
The typical two-story house here is built from two different systems: concrete block downstairs and wood frame upstairs, with stucco over both. They look identical from the street and they behave in opposite ways.
On block, water coming through a crack gets absorbed by the block like a sponge and eventually evaporates inward. Annoying, but rarely structural. On wood frame, that same water gets past the barrier and reaches the framing. There, cracks stop being cosmetic: they are the leading cause of damage in that kind of wall.
And the underlying problem is that water gets in easily and gets out with difficulty. Stucco over wood needs a barrier that also drains, and in plenty of Florida houses that barrier was installed in a way that never drained anything.
What it includes
No fine print: this is exactly what we do, and in what order.
Block or wood frame. It is not a detail: it decides whether the crack is a finish problem or the start of a structural repair.
It is almost never the crack you can see. The usual entries are around windows and doors, the control joints, and where the first story meets the second.
Stucco comes off the compromised area until we reach sound substrate. Opening too little leaves the problem inside; opening too much runs the cost up for nothing.
Rotted wood, a barrier installed wrong, or mold. Whatever the wall reveals, the job does not stop.
The weather-resistive barrier goes back in a way that actually drains, with the right laps and the flashing that sends water back out.
Scratch, brown and finish, respecting each coat's cure time. Rushing that step is what makes the repair crack again.
We match the texture to the existing wall and seal it. A repair done right is invisible from the sidewalk.

Why us
Anyone can offer stucco work — which is exactly why who you hire matters.
We stand behind it in writing, with insurance and a warranty on the workmanship.
If mold or rotted wood turns up when the wall opens, we handle it on the spot. A stucco-only specialist would have to stop the job there.
We live and work in this community. We are not a national franchise dispatching a crew from another state.

It covers our workmanship. Materials additionally carry their manufacturer's warranty, which is handed over with the job.
It does not cover new damage. If a problem shows up later from another cause — another storm, another leak, lack of maintenance, or work done by somebody else — that is a separate loss and gets handled as one.
The term that applies to your job is put in writing in the service agreement before work starts.
A real job
Same kind of damage, in a home nearby.
A long horizontal crack along the stucco sill under this window was letting rain run behind the wall every time it rained. The loose stucco was removed, the sill was sealed and a waterproofing membrane was applied over the joint where the water was getting in.

Frequently asked
If your question is not here, call us and we will answer it on the phone, no obligation.
No. Over concrete block, microcracking is normal and largely unavoidable. What matters are cracks in wood-frame areas, cracks that trace the outline of a window, cracks that step diagonally, and any crack that drips or stains. Those do matter.
In a two-story Florida house the usual build is block downstairs and frame upstairs. Knocking sounds different — block is solid, frame is hollow — but the reliable way is to have someone verify it. We do that on the inspection, which is free.
It works on hairline cracks over block, and there it is a reasonable answer. Over a crack that is passing water into a frame wall, it only hides it: the water keeps coming in and now you cannot see where. It is the repair we most often have to undo.
When the substrate is compromised. If there is soft wood, a torn barrier or mold behind it, patching the outside is makeup: the damage keeps growing underneath. We tell you based on what the wall shows when it opens, not before.
