premier and licensed Stucco Repair In Orlando
Just because you can find home improvement magazine articles and YouTube videos showing you how to do DIY stucco repair doesn’t mean repairing stucco is a fast or an easy job. Repairing stucco is tricky because of its layered construction. Minor crack repair may be repaired at the surface with acrylic fillers as a DIY project, but most stucco repairs involve getting down to the substrate and repairing outward to the surface to make sure that the repaired surface will prevent unwanted water intrusion.
But really, the hardest part of stucco patching is color and texture matching. Our quality-oriented professionals at AC Remodel Orlando are experts at stucco repair and color and texture matching. We do not apply a one-size-fits-all approach to repairs in stucco surfaces. The AC Remodel Orlando specialists will thoroughly evaluate the damaged area prior to starting, and the repairs will be exactly what is needed to restore the integrity of the stucco siding.

EXTERIOR STUCCO REPAIR SERVICES ORLANDO, FL
These are the types of repairs for stucco cracks you might consider – ranging from the least to the most expensive.
Fill the crack, then paint
To reduce the appearance of being patched, carefully fill the crack with a stucco patching compound, and then paint the entire wall with a specially formulated stucco paint. The paint can blister, however, if moisture is allowed to get behind it.
Fill the crack
Apply a stucco patching compound on the crack and work it into the crack to fill it. Smooth the edges to match the existing finish. It’s the least expensive solution, but it can leave the wall surface with a perceptible appearance of having been patched, and tends to attract attention to the repair as well as being a less permanent repair than other options.
Remove the stucco and start over
While this is rare, there have been homes involving such horrible workmanship and such extensive stucco problems that the homeowners were faced with the need to have their home’s exterior stripped to the frame and the stucco re-done from scratch. This is obviously expensive and a rarely recommended repair solution… a true last resort solution for the homeowner.
Recoat the wall from edge to edge
Fill the crack(s) with a stucco patching compound, and then re-apply the final stucco coat to the entire wall. Recoat and restucco provides the best long term repair value, as well as the best appearance for your home.
Fill the crack, then use an elastomeric paint
Fill the crack with a stucco patching compound, and then paint the entire wall with an elastomeric paint. Elastomeric paint is somewhat flexible and can help keep minor cracks from reappearing. The paint can blister, however, if moisture is allowed to get behind it.
Apply polymer basecoat with fiberglass mesh
This coating system, sometimes called synthetic stucco, combines an attractive finished appearance with a slightly flexible coating that resists cracking. It is a more expensive solution, however and must be applied from edge to edge.
