Patches that keep failing
Repairs that crack again within a year or two, or a wall covered in patches of different textures, can cost more to keep fixing than to redo.

What Homeowners Say About Stucco HQ
From Stucco HQ's Google profiles across Florida.
I own a rental property in the area and my tenant told me that stucco next to the sliding door is bulging and letting in water when it rains. … they didn't just patch the surface, they found and properly addressed the wood rot in the wall that was part of the problem.
They responded quickly. They performed a fantastic job of restoring the back of my house. They were on time, had good communication skills, very skilled at stucco repair work and were a very friendly bunch. Using their stucco services is definitely something I would recommend.
It is like a breath of fresh air to deal with stucco repair contractors who really are here to help you instead of just making as much money as possible from a project. … Though JC and his stucco crew were not the cheapest, we knew right away that this is the stucco company we need to work with. We were not wrong!
Signs It's Time
Signs Replacement May Be the Better Fix
Most stucco can be repaired. These signs suggest a wall may need more, and only an in-person look can say for sure.
Water behind the stucco
Stains inside, soft or crumbling areas, or stucco that comes away in pieces can mean water has reached the wall behind it.
Hollow areas across a wall
When large parts of a wall sound hollow or bulge, the stucco has lost its bond, and replacing that section is often simpler than patching it.
Damage after a storm
Wind-driven rain and flying debris can crack and loosen stucco across a whole side of a house, most often on older homes.
A finish you want to change
Going from a heavy older texture to a smooth finish, or evening out years of patches, starts with a new finish coat or new stucco.
An inspection report
A report that lists stucco problems can be priced item by item, so you know whether repair or replacement fits before you decide.

Replacement comes up most on older homes, and what is behind the stucco changes the job from one region to the next.

Block walls
On block, the old stucco comes off down to the masonry, the block is looked over, and new stucco bonds straight to it.
Framed walls
On wood frame, the old stucco, lath and paper come off, your contractor checks the sheathing and framing, and new water barrier, lath and stucco go on.
A look inside the wall
While the wall is open, your contractor checks the framing and sheathing for water damage before anything is closed up again.
Planned around the weather
A replacement leaves walls open for a while, so the work is scheduled with summer storms and hurricane season in mind.
Coastal homes
Salt air near the coast wears paint and rusts older metal trim and corner beads. A replacement is the time to deal with both.
One even finish
New stucco across a whole wall or house gives one texture and one color, with no patches showing.

Done Right
What a Good Stucco Replacement Looks Like
A good replacement starts with taking the old stucco off cleanly, down to the block or the sheathing. With the wall open, your contractor checks the framing and water barrier before any new stucco goes on.
New stucco goes on in coats over new lath on framed walls, or straight onto prepared block, and the finish is applied as one surface. Once it has cured, the same contractor paints it, for one texture and one color across the wall without the patchwork of earlier repairs.
Cleanup is part of the job: the work area is left clean when the replacement is done.
Options Compared
Repair, Resurface or Replace?
Homeowners weighing a replacement usually have three options. The visit decides which one fits, and the written quote explains why.

Resurface the wall
Best for sound stucco that looks tired

Replace the stucco
Best when the stucco has failed

- Water damage, widespread hollow areas and failed earlier repairs
- When it fits

Which option fits depends on what is behind the stucco, which is why your contractor sees the walls before quoting.

Questions
Questions About Stucco Replacement
How much does it cost to replace stucco?
It depends on how many walls are involved, whether they are block or framed, what is found behind the old stucco, the height and the finish. Your local contractor sees the walls and gives you a free written quote.
Do I really need to replace all of it?
Not always. Many walls can be repaired or resurfaced instead. Your contractor sees the walls in person and explains in writing which option fits and why.
Is stucco replacement the same as stucco remediation?
They overlap. Remediation usually means finding and fixing water damage behind the stucco, which becomes part of a replacement when water has reached the wall. Your contractor explains what your walls need.
What if there is damage behind the old stucco?
With the old stucco off, your contractor checks the framing and sheathing on framed walls. If there is damage, your contractor shows you and explains what it needs before any new stucco goes on.
How long does a stucco replacement take?
It depends on the size of the job and the weather. A single wall is a shorter project than a whole house, and new stucco needs time to cure before your contractor paints it. The timeline is part of the conversation when quoting.
Do I need a permit to replace stucco?
Replacing stucco on a whole wall or house often needs a permit from your city or county, especially on framed walls. Your contractor confirms what applies to your address when quoting.
Can coquina or shell stucco be matched?
Yes. When part of a coquina or shell finish is replaced, the new section is finished to match the original, and a whole house can be redone in either finish.
Can I change the texture when the stucco is replaced?
Yes. A replacement or a resurface is the time to change texture, for example from a heavy older pattern to a smooth or sand finish.
Should I replace stucco before selling?
If an inspection report lists stucco problems, your contractor can price those items, so you know the cost of each option before you decide. Quotes are for work you plan to have done.
Will new stucco match the rest of the house?
When only some walls are replaced, the new finish is matched to the existing ones and painted so the house reads as one. Replacing every wall gives one finish all the way around.
What is the difference between replacement and repair?
A repair fixes a damaged area and blends it into the wall. A replacement takes the old stucco off a wall or the whole house and puts new stucco on.
