Stucco Cracks: When to Patch and When to Call a Pro

Almost every stucco wall develops a few cracks as the house settles and the weather changes. Most thin hairline cracks are cosmetic, and a quality elastomeric patch and fresh paint will hide them.

Wider cracks, cracks that grow, and cracks around windows and doors deserve a closer look. These can let water get behind the wall, where it damages framing and insulation long before you see a stain inside.

Other warning signs include bubbling or soft spots, stains below windowsills, and stucco that sounds hollow when you tap it. If you see any of these, have the wall inspected before it gets worse.

We repair stucco cracks and damaged sections, match the existing texture, and check the flashing and trim details where moisture usually starts. Call (562) 380-6503 for a free look.
