St. Augustine Shores is a planned community along US-1 South, south of downtown St. Augustine, with the Matanzas River on its eastern edge. Inside the Census boundary, the 2026 tax roll counts 3,657 single-family homes: 941 from the 1960s and 1970s, 932 from the 1980s, and newer sections such as Villages of Valencia since. About half are concrete block and half wood frame. Your licensed local Stucco HQ contractor for Northeast Florida serves homeowners in The Shores.

Repairs on homes from the 1970s and 1980s are most of the work in The Shores. New stucco and full re-stucco cover additions and walls past saving.
Hairline cracks across older walls, stucco broken where windows or pipes were changed, old patches that never blended and crumbling stucco near the ground are the usual repairs. Each is cut back to sound material and finished to match the wall.

Additions, enclosed porches, garden walls and new homes get stucco to the Florida Building Code: two coats bonded to block, or lath, a water barrier and three coats on framed walls.
More on stucco installation
On a wall carrying decades of patches, the old stucco comes off down to the block or sheathing, your contractor checks the wall, and new stucco goes on with one finish across the house.
More on stucco replacementMany homes in The Shores have had forty or fifty years to settle, so fine cracks are part of the picture and most of them can wait. Have the ones looked at that widen, let water in, or line up with stains inside.
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.

The earliest homes in The Shores, along the Shores Boulevard and Deltona Boulevard corridors, date from the 1970s, and the community kept building through the 1980s. Stucco that age has usually been painted many times and patched where windows, doors and pipes were replaced, and those patches tend to show.
The Shores is split almost evenly between concrete block and wood frame: 52.8% block on the tax roll. The repair is different for each. On block, new stucco bonds to the masonry; on a frame wall, the lath and water barrier behind the finish have to be checked and tied in, which is why your contractor confirms the wall type first.
Homes on the riverfront blocks near the Riverview Club get more brackish air off the Matanzas, which wears paint and metal trim faster than on interior streets. Fresh sealant and paint go a long way there.
Many owners in The Shores have lived in their homes for years and want an honest answer about an older wall, not a sales pitch. Stucco HQ is set up for that. Each repair, installation and replacement is done by a local professional who is licensed and insured for stucco work, and the quote never costs you anything.

NOAA's St. Augustine station, about five miles north, records roughly 50.6 inches of rain a year in its 1991 to 2020 normals, with August the wettest month. July highs average about 91°F, and the station logs around 62 days a year at 90°F or above, with a handful of freezing nights each winter.
The Shores sits on the mainland, higher than the barrier island beaches, but summer storms still drive rain into cracks and around window frames, and the June 1 to November 30 hurricane season brings the strongest of them. Keeping older walls sealed and painted is the simplest protection.
St. Augustine Shores recorded 181 qualified single-family sales in 2025, with a median price of about $350,000 across 2025 and 2026 sales, according to the Florida Department of Revenue. In a community where many homes share 1970s and 1980s floor plans, the condition of the stucco is something buyers notice.
Your local Stucco HQ contractor can price the stucco items on an inspection report and finish them before closing, or after the move. Estimates are for stucco work you plan to have done.
St. Augustine Shores is unincorporated St. Johns County, so building permits come from the St. Johns County Building Services Division. Your contractor confirms whether your job needs one when quoting.
