Stucco Repair in Jacksonville, FL

From The Painting Craftsmen

Stucco is highly popular in Florida as it has the ability to withstand harsh, wet weather and apart from regular cleaning, is by and large maintenance free. However, when cracks, buckling and blistering begin to appear, it is time to repair the stucco right away in order to prevent the problems from spreading.

The Painting Craftsmen is happy to take care of small stucco repairs upon request as a part of your exterior painting project.

Will the stucco patch match the rest of my home’s stucco surface?

The answer is yes. As far as texture, we can recreate the look of the original stucco with excellent results and level the patch against the original stucco so that the repair is smooth.

Will the color of the patch match the original stucco?

Unfortunately, many times the color of the patch will not be a perfect match to the stucco. We can generally achieve very close results to the original color with pigmented stucco mixes, but to make sure that the repair blends completely and the finish is uniform, an acrylic elastomeric coating or a cement paint or stain must be applied over all of the stucco.

Will the repair last?

Yes! We take the time to make sure we fix the problem right where it started, which is typically in the wood lath behind the original stucco. We remove all loose and cracking stucco and make sure that the stucco near the areas around the patch are secure and completely attached to the lath backing.  We install new waterproofing tarpaper and new, galvanized metal lath over the paper. The first coat of stucco, which contains a bonding agent, is then applied over top of the paper and lath, covered with plastic, and allowed to slowly and fully cure before the second coat and finish coat are applied.

The last step is to make certain that the color of the patch blends correctly with the original stucco. We will work with you to decide whether painting or staining is appropriate on only the areas to be repaired, or on all of the stucco surfaces.
