One local contractor for every kind of stucco work, from historic repairs to new homes and commercial buildings.
Cracks, soft or bulging spots, failed patches and damage around windows and doors, with the lath and paper checked where a frame wall needs it, and the texture matched.
More on stucco repairNew stucco for additions, garden walls, new homes and commercial buildings, done to the Florida Building Code over block or over lath on frame walls.
More on stucco installationWhen stucco has failed across a wall, the old stucco comes off, the water barrier and lath are renewed where needed, and new stucco goes on with the finish matched to the house.
More on stucco replacementNortheast Florida builds differently from the rest of the state. In Duval and St. Johns Counties, where the tax roll records wall type, 76.2% of the homes in the 15 communities we serve are wood frame. On a frame wall, stucco goes on in three coats over metal lath, with a two-layer water barrier behind it, so the lath, the paper and the weep screed at the base matter as much as the finish.
The homes run from historic to brand new. The typical home in St. Augustine was built in 1959 and in Orange Park in 1974, while in Nocatee it dates from 2017 and in St. Johns from 2018. Across the region, 43.8% of single-family homes were built in 2000 or later. Older walls have usually been patched more than once, and some historic buildings in St. Augustine are coquina or brick finished with soft, lime-based stucco that needs a matching repair.
The weather has a cold side, too. NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals show about 14 freezing nights in a typical winter at Jacksonville International Airport, and hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. Summer heat, the odd frost and wind-driven rain keep walls moving, so cracks near windows, doors and roof lines are the ones to close first.
From Stucco HQ's Google profiles throughout Northeast Florida.
We had some issues with the stucco in the back of our home and called a few stucco repair contractors in the area to get a few quotes. … When quotes came back we felt really comfortable with hiring them over the other three and they did not disappoint. The job was done on time and with great care.
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.
Really impressed with Stucco HQ. Quality work and great communications throughout the entire experience. We had some issues with bulging stucco on our second floor wall and needed some repairs quickly. These guys took care of it all in a couple of days. … No pressure sales or fear tactics.

It depends on the city limits, not the mailing address. The City of Jacksonville covers most of Duval County, while Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach each issue their own permits. So do St. Augustine, St. Augustine Beach, Orange Park, Green Cove Springs and Palm Coast, and unincorporated communities such as Fleming Island and Fruit Cove go through the county. Your contractor confirms the right office, and whether the job needs a permit, when they quote.
Many Northeast Florida homes are frame: on the 2026 tax roll, 76.2% of the homes in the Duval and St. Johns communities we serve are wood frame. Your property record usually shows it, and your contractor confirms it on site. It matters because frame walls carry their stucco on lath over a water barrier, so a crack there is worth having looked at sooner.
Often, yes. Some of the oldest buildings are coquina or brick finished with soft, lime-based stucco, and a hard modern patch can do them more harm than good. The National Park Service's Preservation Brief 22 recommends matching a repair to the original material. In the city's historic districts, exterior changes may also need review by the Historic Architectural Review Board.
They can. Jacksonville International Airport averages about 14 freezing nights a winter in NOAA's normals. Water sitting in an open crack can freeze on those nights, which is one more reason to close cracks before winter.
Yes. 43.8% of the single-family homes in the region's communities were built in 2000 or later, many of them in St. Johns and Clay Counties. Young stucco shows fine shrinkage cracks and cracks at window corners. If your home is still under a builder warranty, read it first, since it may cover early cracking.
