We are the owners of a concrete block house that will soon be 16 years old. In 2016, the stucco on the gable over the garage swelled and bulged out. The culprit was an errant nail put in during the building of the house. The gables on this house (Lantana) were built of wood with stucco applied over the wood.. T&D's bill to remove the eyesore and put it right came to $2,000. Not a fan of stucco on wood.
