From Stucco HQ's Google profiles across Florida.
My husband and I noticed that the wall inside our kitchen was getting wet, but we had no idea where the water was coming from or who to even call. After finding Stucco HQ, their estimator came out, inspected the area above our kitchen window, and found an issue with the exterior stucco that was allowing water in.
We absolutely recommend Stucco HQ for stucco repair and painting. Throughout the stucco repair project, they kept in regular text, picture, and video contact with us. … When the work completed, their cleanup was amazing, and the stucco repair was excellent and the paint match was almost identical.
I contacted the guys at Stucco HQ last week for a medium sized stucco repair job, and within a couple of days, I got my quote. … They performed a terrific job fixing some cracked and bulging stucco at the back of the house that was beginning to fall off.

Most stucco cracks are not urgent. These are the ones worth having your local Stucco HQ contractor see in person.
Caulk or paint over a crack that opens again after hot spells or storms. Your contractor looks at why it keeps moving before quoting the repair.
A hollow sound when you tap the wall, or a slight bulge, means the stucco has let go of the wall behind it. That section is cut out and rebuilt.
A damp spot on drywall under a window or door often starts at a crack or a dried-out joint outside. It is worth a look before the next heavy rain.
An old repair in the wrong texture or shade stands out on every wall. It can be refinished so it blends with the rest of the house.
New windows, a removed AC unit, plumbing work or a fence post can leave holes and torn edges. They are filled, tied in and finished to match.
Buying or selling? Stucco items on an inspection report can be priced from the report and repaired before or after closing, when you plan to have the work done.
Sun, salt and summer storms are hard on stucco, and Florida walls are built differently from one region to the next. A good repair starts with what is behind the finish.
On block walls the repair bonds straight to the masonry. On framed walls it is tied into the lath and water barrier, so the layers behind the finish keep doing their job.
Afternoon storms come almost daily from June to September. Repairs are planned around the weather so new stucco has time to set.
Florida sun fades paint and dries out caulk at windows and doors. A repair is primed and painted to match, which also helps seal the new stucco against rain.
Within a few miles of the ocean, salt wears paint and rusts metal trim and corner beads. Rust stains are traced to the metal behind them before the repair.
The season runs from June 1 to November 30. Spring is a good time to have cracks repaired, so the walls are sealed before the storms arrive.
Rules differ by city and county, and your contractor checks whether your repair needs a permit. A repair matched to the existing finish rarely needs HOA approval.
The hardest part of a stucco repair is often finding someone who calls back and shows up. Stucco HQ is built around that: a person answers every call, and your local Stucco HQ contractor comes to see the wall, explains what it needs in plain words and puts the price in writing. Every repair is done by a licensed and insured local stucco contractor, and quotes are free.

Your contractor looks at the wall and the area around it before giving a price.
The repair is blended into the wall, and the work area is cleaned before your contractor leaves.
The written quote lists what will be repaired and how, so you can compare it with any other quote.
A good repair is hard to find a year later. The damaged stucco is cut back to sound material and tied into the wall behind it, then the new stucco is textured and painted to blend with the wall around it.
Texture is the hard part. Florida homes have everything from smooth finishes to heavy knockdown and sand finishes, and many walls have been painted several times. Your contractor matches the texture first and then the color, so the repair blends in instead of showing as a square on the wall.
If a leaking window joint or a rusted corner bead caused the damage, your contractor explains it during the visit, so you know what the repair covers.
Repairs come in three sizes. Which one fits is decided at the visit, and the written quote explains it.
Best for small cracks in sound stucco
Best for hollow, bulging or wet areas
Best when damage keeps spreading
When a whole wall is the better choice, that work is covered on the stucco replacement page.
Two cracks that look alike can need very different work, so Stucco HQ does not publish prices. These are the things that move the number.

No. Fine hairline cracks are common on Florida homes, and many are cosmetic. Cracks that grow, let water in or come with hollow or soft stucco are worth a look. Only your contractor, in person, can say what a wall needs.
Your contractor matches the texture first and then the paint color, so the repair blends with the wall around it. On older or faded walls, painting the whole wall gives the most even result.
Small repairs are often finished quickly, while larger sections take longer and need time to set before paint. Your contractor talks you through the plan with the quote, and rain can move the schedule.
