Cracked Stucco
Stucco cracks can develop from building movement, stress around
openings, previous installation conditions, weather exposure,
and other factors.
The appropriate repair depends on the type, location, width,
and condition of the crack.
Where appropriate, crack remediation may involve mechanically
opening the affected crack, applying a suitable elastomeric or
polyurethane sealant, and restoring the stucco over the repaired
area to match the surrounding finish as closely as practical.

Loose or Delaminated Stucco
Stucco that sounds hollow, becomes loose, bulges, or begins
separating from the underlying surface may require more than
a surface patch.
Affected material may need to be carefully removed so the
condition underneath can be evaluated before the area is
properly repaired.
Ignoring loose or deteriorating stucco can allow the affected
area to continue worsening over time.
Localized Stucco Damage
Not every damaged wall requires complete stucco replacement.
Impact damage, isolated deterioration, damaged corners, and
other localized problems can often be addressed by removing
compromised material and repairing the affected section.
The surrounding stucco and substrate condition help determine
whether localized repair is appropriate.
Stucco Damage Around Windows, Doors & Openings
Windows, doors, penetrations, corners, and termination areas
are common locations for cracking and deterioration.
These areas require careful preparation because simply covering
the visible damage may not address the condition that caused it.
Our team evaluates the affected area and determines the
appropriate repair based on the existing stucco assembly
and visible conditions.
Previous Stucco Repairs
Older patches don't always blend properly with the surrounding
wall. Some may also begin cracking, separating, or deteriorating
again.
Cousins Stucco can evaluate previous repairs and determine
whether the affected material should be removed and repaired
again.
When possible, we also work to match the existing texture so
the repaired area integrates naturally with the rest of the
exterior.
Damaged Stucco Texture & Finish
Repairing the underlying area is only part of a professional
stucco repair. The finished surface matters too.
Our team works to recreate the existing stucco texture and
blend repaired sections with the surrounding wall as closely
as practical.
