Davie still feels like horse country on its west side, but most of its 19,597 single-family homes are suburban block houses built in the 1980s and 1990s, many on larger lots with more wall to look after. Their stucco is now 25 to 40 years old, which is when cracks, fading paint and water at windows tend to show up together. Your licensed local Stucco HQ contractor for South Florida works with homeowners in Forest Ridge, Shenandoah, Hawke's Bluff and the ranch communities. A real person answers your call and passes it on, and your contractor comes out to see the house before writing up a free estimate for repair, restoration, new stucco or a full re-stucco.
Most Davie calls are repairs and restoration on 1980s and 1990s homes. New stucco for additions and outbuildings, and full re-stucco, cover the rest.

New stucco goes on room additions, garages, guest houses, garden walls and new homes, in two coats over block or three over lath, to the Florida Building Code.

When a large house has been patched in many places, the old stucco can come off down to the block, the wall gets checked, and new stucco gives every elevation the same finish.
More on stucco replacementDavie's homes are concrete block almost across the board, so a hairline crack is seldom a structural warning. The real question is whether it is letting rain into the wall during the wet season.

Not urgent doesn't mean ignore it. Stucco expands and contracts with Florida heat and humidity, and over time even a fine hairline crack can widen and let moisture in behind the finish, turning a small repair into a bigger one. Having your local Stucco HQ contractor fix it while it is still small keeps the job simple and the cost down.
If what you see is in the first list, it most likely is not an emergency and it can usually wait. If it is in the second, have it looked at before the next stretch of heavy rain.

It is like a breath of fresh air to deal with stucco repair contractors who really are here to help you instead of just making as much money as possible from a project. … Though JC and his stucco crew were not the cheapest, we knew right away that this is the stucco company we need to work with.

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.
Davie's housing boom came late compared with eastern Broward: 6,624 single-family homes went up in the 1980s and 5,425 in the 1990s, and the town's median home was built in 1989. That puts most of its stucco in the age range where fine cracks spread across sunny walls and paint starts to chalk and fade.
Size matters here too. Many Davie homes sit on larger lots with long, uninterrupted walls, and long walls move more as they heat and cool. Cracks often appear at the same spots on each side of the house, near windows, at corners and where a wall meets the garage.
Keeping water out is the real job. Rain that gets past an open crack or worn sealant reaches the block, then shows up as a stain or bubbling paint, sometimes well away from the crack. Sealing cracks and keeping the paint sound is what protects the wall.

The Fort Lauderdale weather station, about five kilometers east of Davie, averages roughly 69 inches of rain a year under NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals, and September brings the most, close to 10 inches. July highs average about 90°F, with around 75 days a year at 90°F or above.
That is a lot of water landing on a stucco wall, most of it in heavy summer storms and during hurricane season, June 1 through November 30. Heat opens fine cracks, and wind-driven rain finds them. Sealed cracks and well-kept paint do most of the protecting.
The Florida Department of Revenue counted 737 qualified single-family sales in Davie in 2025, with a median price of about $705,000 across 2025 and 2026 sales. Larger homes mean more stucco for an inspector to look at, and cracks or stains usually make the report.
