Stucco Repair
Cracks at window corners and along the band at the top of the wall are typical on 1990s homes. Your contractor opens the crack, fills it so it bonds to the stucco around it, and matches the finish.

Pembroke Pines grew fast in the 1990s: 18,422 of its 38,570 single-family homes, nearly half, went up that decade, almost all of them concrete block with a stucco finish. Those walls are now about 30 years old, the age when hairline cracks, tired paint and worn sealant around windows start to show. Your licensed local Stucco HQ contractor for South Florida works with homeowners from the 1970s streets of Pembroke Lakes to Silver Lakes, Chapel Trail and Pembroke Falls. Call, and a real person answers and passes your details on. Your contractor then comes out to see the wall and gives you a free written estimate for repair, new stucco or a full re-stucco.
Repairs are the bulk of Pembroke Pines calls, from hairline cracks to rain getting in around windows. New stucco and full re-stucco cover the rest.

New stucco goes on room additions, garages, garden walls and new homes, applied to the Florida Building Code over block, or over lath on framed sections.

On older east-side homes, decades of patches can outnumber the original finish. The old stucco is taken off down to the block, your contractor checks the wall, and new stucco gives the house one even surface again.
More on stucco replacementVirtually every single-family home on the Pembroke Pines tax roll has concrete block walls, so a fine crack in the stucco is rarely a sign of trouble with the structure. The question is whether rain is getting in behind it.

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.

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.
… Very professionally answered all of my questions, walked me through the entire process and gave me a very competitive quote for my stucco repair project. I'm very happy I hired them. Stucco HQ really went above & beyond. They were even able to match the existing paint.
I own a rental property in the area and my tenant told me that stucco next to the sliding door is bulging and letting in water when it rains. … they didn't just patch the surface, they found and properly addressed the wood rot in the wall that was part of the problem.
Pembroke Pines has two housing eras. The east side filled in during the 1960s and 1970s, with 8,853 homes from those decades, while the west grew into master-planned communities through the 1990s and 2000s. The median home was built in 1994, so most stucco here is old enough for fine cracks and fading paint, but rarely old enough to need replacing.
On homes from the 1990s wave, cracks tend to start where the stucco changes direction or meets another material: window and door corners, the band at the top of the wall, and the seam where a garage wall joins the house. Water that gets in at those spots often shows up later as staining or bubbling paint a little way from the crack itself.
Most of the west side sits inside homeowners associations, and many of them set exterior color schedules. Fixing cracks just before a scheduled repaint saves painting the same wall twice, and the repair can be finished in your community's approved color.
In South Florida reviews, the complaint that comes up most is a contractor who never calls back. Stucco HQ is built to fix that part first. Every repair, installation and replacement is then performed by a professional local stucco contractor who is licensed and insured, and quotes carry no charge.

North Perry Airport sits inside Pembroke Pines, and NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals for its weather station show about 62 inches of rain a year, with June the wettest month at about 8.7 inches. July highs average 91.7°F, and the station logs about 105 days a year at 90°F or above, more than stations near the coast.
That inland heat matters for stucco. Walls expand in the afternoon sun and shrink back at night, which slowly widens fine cracks, and summer storms push rain into them. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. Sound paint and sealed cracks are what keep that water off the block.
The Florida Department of Revenue counted 1,400 qualified single-family sales in Pembroke Pines in 2025, and the median price across 2025 and 2026 sales was about $628,000. Most buyers bring an inspector, and cracks or stains on the stucco usually end up on the report.
Selling? Your local Stucco HQ contractor can price the repairs straight from that report and work them in before closing. Just bought? They can take care of what the inspector flagged. Estimates are for stucco work you plan to have done.
The City of Pembroke Pines issues building permits for homes inside city limits. Most Pembroke Pines ZIP codes carry Hollywood as their post office name, so a Hollywood mailing address is common here and is not a reliable guide to which city you are in. Your contractor confirms the right office, and whether your job needs a permit, when they quote.
Communities such as Silver Lakes, Chapel Trail and Pembroke Falls have homeowners associations, and an association may need to approve exterior color or texture changes before work starts. Check your association's rules before you schedule.
Stucco HQ serves homes across Pembroke Pines, from the established east-side streets to the newer communities out toward the Everglades.
