We often find this and write it up when found. As stated above, sometimes when the home's stucco dries out, these bubbles disappear and show no evidence of ever being there. As it comes and goes, this is often not detectable.

This is caused by moisture intrusion through the paint, or stucco not dried out enough when the paint is applied. We have also been told this can be a paint/primer issue.

As VillageTinker stated, a call to Florida paints is your first step if your home is over a year old. If the home is within the first year I would contact warranty.

Hope this helps.

in my imho Florida paint is not that great.
Go to Sherwin Williams on 27 and talk to Ted the GM.
They paint the stucco when its green alot of the time and yes your right frank moisture penetrates the stucco.
The Florida paint is good for about 3 to 5 years at the max and sometimes alot less,
You need to wash the house and then repaint the areas or whole house once it drys thoroughly. Sherwin makes a Lexon primer and Resilense base coat that is guaranteed not to peal or they will warranty it.
I did my designer and the paint is great stuff.
you can have hairline cracks that can saturate the wall and cause peeling.
Good luck
