STUCCO REPAIR
Stucco is one of the most durable wall surfaces available. But, because of its rigid nature, stucco can develop cracks and holes over time due to settling and impact damage. Once a crack or hole develops, it is important to take immediate action before any further damage and water penetration can occur. Proper attention to crack preparation is essential to achieving a successful result. Before you try to do-it-yourself, consider hiring an experienced stucco repair expert to repair & seal cracks in your stucco.
If you have a small crack in your exterior stucco, you can patch it pretty easily on your own - and you definitely should, or you may be in for more extensive repairs down the line. To repair stucco, you can use any number of commercially sold products. While some are designed to remedy larger gouges and holes, others are meant specifically to fix smaller hairline cracks due to things like foundation settling. If the crack is vertical, such as from the base to the window or from the roof to the door, there could be a problem with the foundation of the home. If you notice vertical cracks, brown streaks near your windows, stucco cracks larger than 1/8″, bulging on stucco walls, or white chalking, then you should consider contacting Stucco 2000, Inc. to repair and replace any of your home’s damaged stucco. Our stucco professionals are very knowledgeable and will work alongside you to determine what services your home needs.

Let the stucco experts at Stucco 2000, Inc. fix your stucco problems.
