Recommend someone to fix exterior stucco cracks
 

Hi,

I need someone to come and fix exterior stucco cracks. Any recommendations?

thanks

Depends on where and how serious the cracks are. T&D just finished fixing ours. These were cracks on the gables above the garage and golf cart garage. That part of the house is stucco on frame, not stucco on block and it is subject to moisture penetration. It also gets the punishing hot sun in the p.m.

You can call the painter who originally painted the house to see if it is a minor repair that he can handle. Warranty will give you that number if you don't have it. Our painter said our cracks needed extensive repair and called T&D. I also called the original stucco contractor but they wanted $100 to even look at the problem, whereas T&D was ready to fix it and did a thorough job.

Call warranty dept. first, to see if this is covered. If not depending on the age of your home and the size of the cracks, if they are just normal cracks they can be fixed by a handyman or a painter. Remember the patches will have to be painted, and after a few years your home will have faded and the touch-ups will show.

We just had Stokes Stucco do some stone work on our home and are very impressed with their work and professionalism. We highly recommend Mike Stokes and his team and know you won't be sorry you used them. Mikes cell is: 352-267-4036

Hairline cracks..........I use a sealant from Lowe's and paint them myself. Large cracks...........Stokes.

I've had stucco homes since 1953 and just let the cracks go till time to paint the house. No sooner you fix one several more will appear. The only exception was when I had a crack that leaked water into one of the bedrooms. Stucco is brittle and the ground is unstable and the home will settle.
