Stucco Installation & Repairs

Cracks traced to the cause, textures matched invisibly.

Stucco cracks are a symptom. Some are cosmetic, some are structural movement, and some are water getting behind the wall. We diagnose which one you have, repair properly with the correct base and finish coats, and match the texture so the patch disappears.

How we approach it

Stucco repairs that actually fix the source

A stucco crack is almost always a symptom. It could be minor shrinkage, structural movement, or water working its way behind the finish and causing damage to the lath and framing. Patching over a crack without finding the source just means the crack will return.

We identify why the stucco failed. If it's movement or water intrusion, we perform a professional repair that includes correcting the underlying lath, paper, or flashing before applying the scratch, brown, and finish coats.

Our team hand-matches the existing texture to ensure the patch is invisible. We don't just fill the hole; we restore the integrity and the look of your wall.

Example project

Structural stucco crack and water leak remediated

Fort Lauderdale, FL1 week

The challenge
A home had recurring stair-step cracking around the living room corner, with internal water staining appearing after heavy rain.
What we did
We discovered a failure in the roof flashing that allowed water behind the stucco, rusting the lath. We repaired the flashing, replaced the damaged lath and paper, and installed new stucco with a perfect texture match.
The result
The wall is structurally sound, the leak is permanently stopped, and the patch is invisible.

Illustrative example based on typical jobs of this type.

Standards we hold

  • We check for moisture intrusion before repairing any stucco
  • Repairs are done in layers to match existing wall depth
  • Textures are blended into the existing wall to eliminate visible patches
  • Correct curing times are observed before painting
  • Structural cracks are evaluated with engineering input if needed
After: Cracked and spalled wall to matched finishBefore: Cracked and spalled wall to matched finish

Client feedback

Referred, again and again

“They gutted and rebuilt two bathrooms and our kitchen while we lived in the house. Every day the site was clean, every question got answered the same day, and the final number matched the estimate.”
Daniel R. · Fort Lauderdale, FL · Kitchen + 2 bathroom remodel
“We had water damage behind a wall that two other contractors misdiagnosed. 12X found it in an hour, handled the drying, rebuilt the drywall, and dealt with the insurance paperwork.”
Melissa T. · Hollywood, FL · Water-damage restoration
“Pavers, a pergola, an outdoor kitchen, and turf, done in five weeks and permitted properly. Our backyard is the reason we stopped talking about moving.”
