Lake Mary started as two small settlements along the railroad between Sanford and Orlando and only became a city in 1973. Today 5,225 single-family homes sit inside city limits, with a median build year of 1996, and 7,611 more share the Lake Mary address in unincorporated Seminole County, in Heathrow, Greenwood Lakes, Lakewood and Chase Groves. Your local Stucco HQ contractor for Central Florida works on both sides of the city line. A real person answers your call, and your contractor sees the wall in person before writing a free estimate.
Most Lake Mary calls are repairs on homes built in the late 1980s and 1990s, inside the city and out in Heathrow and Greenwood Lakes. New stucco and full re-stucco cover the larger jobs.
Cracks at window and door corners, patches that show through the paint, and worn stucco near the ground where sprinklers hit the wall. Each repair is cut back to sound stucco and textured to blend with the finish around it.

Room additions, garage conversions, enclosed lanais and new homes get stucco to the Florida Building Code, over block or over lath and a water barrier on framed walls, finished to match the house.

When the stucco has come loose from the wall or carries too many patches to blend, it comes off down to the block or sheathing, your contractor checks the wall underneath, and new stucco goes on.
More on stucco replacementOn the 2026 tax roll, 78.1% of city homes and 85.4% of the Lake Mary-address homes outside it are concrete block, and on block a fine crack is usually cosmetic. About one city home in five is wood frame, and on those a crack that lets water reach the sheathing should be looked at sooner.
Not urgent doesn't mean ignore it. Stucco expands and contracts with Florida heat and humidity, and over time even a fine hairline crack can widen and let moisture in behind the finish, turning a small repair into a bigger one. Having your local Stucco HQ contractor fix it while it is still small keeps the job simple and the cost down.
If what you see is in the first list, it most likely is not an emergency and it can usually wait. If it is in the second, have it looked at before the next stretch of heavy rain.

I contacted the guys at Stucco HQ last week for a medium sized stucco repair job, and within a couple of days, I got my quote. … They performed a terrific job fixing some cracked and bulging stucco at the back of the house that was beginning to fall off. Matched the paint as close as possible. … Wonderful experience all around!
Great stucco repair company to deal with. Finished much needed stucco repairs on time and within budget. Professional and friendly. Great job!
We contacted Stucco HQ to fix the damaged and bulging stucco on the second story of our office building. Anthony provided a quote extremely quickly, and after we hired them his crew finished the job efficiently. The outcome was superb. Anyone in need of stucco repair or any other stucco work should contact the Stucco HQ guys, in my opinion.
Growth picked up in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and it shows on the tax roll: the 1990s produced 1,689 of the city's homes and the 1980s another 1,145, in neighborhoods such as Timacuan, Huntington Pointe, Hills of Lake Mary, Woodbridge Lakes and Manderley. By now that stucco has usually been painted more than once, and the sealant around windows and doors has worn, which is where most cracks start.
Outside the city, 4,898 of the 7,611 Lake Mary-address homes date from the 1980s and 1990s, in Lakewood, Greenwood Lakes, Chase Groves, Keenwicke and Heathrow. Lawns and beds there are watered much of the year, so the bottom of the wall stays damp where the sprinklers reach it, and that is where stains and soft spots show up.
Newer streets have their own pattern. Fountain Parke, Lake Mary Landings and Griffin Park went up from the 2000s on, and on homes that new, small cracks often appear in the first few years as the house settles. Those are usually simple repairs once they stop moving.
Whether your home is near the lake the city is named for or out in Heathrow, getting stucco checked should start with a call someone answers, and Stucco HQ makes sure of it. The work itself is done by a licensed and insured stucco contractor who covers Central Florida, and the estimate costs nothing.

The closest long-running NOAA station is in Sanford, under 5 miles north. Its 1991 to 2020 normals average 54 inches of rain a year, with July the wettest month at 8.2 inches and July highs near 92°F.
Summer walls heat up through the afternoon and cool at night, and that daily movement is how fine cracks open over time. Then the near-daily storms and the June 1 to November 30 hurricane season push rain into them. Keeping cracks sealed and the paint sound before summer keeps that water out of the wall.
The Florida Department of Revenue recorded 207 qualified single-family sales in the city in 2025 and 294 more in the Lake Mary-address areas outside it. Median prices across 2025 and 2026 sales were about $530,000 in the city and $515,000 outside it. On homes from the 1980s and 1990s, inspection reports often list cracks at windows and older patches.
Your local Stucco HQ contractor can price the stucco items from the report and schedule the work around your closing. Estimates are for stucco work you plan to have done.
More Lake Mary-address homes are outside the city than in it. City homes get their permits from the City of Lake Mary's Building Division, while Heathrow, Greenwood Lakes, Lakewood, Chase Groves and the other county neighborhoods go through Seminole County. Your contractor confirms the right office before work begins.
Many Lake Mary neighborhoods, in the city and out, have homeowners associations with their own rules on exterior colors and finishes. Check yours before choosing a new color.

Stucco on block can last for decades, but by now the paint and the sealant around windows have usually worn. A visit shows whether the wall needs repairs or is fine as it is.
It can. Daily spray keeps the base of the wall damp and leaves stains. Aiming the heads away helps, and your contractor checks that area during the visit.
