Palencia is a master-planned golf community on the Intracoastal Waterway just north of St. Augustine, built to Mediterranean and Old Florida design standards. The 2026 St. Johns tax roll counts 1,829 single-family homes across its plats, 679 built in the 2000s and 1,150 since 2010, and nearly all are listed as wood frame. Owners live in almost nine out of ten of them. Your licensed local Stucco HQ contractor for Northeast Florida works with Palencia homeowners. A person answers your call, and your contractor visits before giving you a free written estimate.
Most Palencia calls are about cracks and finish wear on homes ten to twenty years old. New stucco covers additions, courtyard walls and outdoor rooms.
Cracks at window and arch corners, lines where stucco meets stone or trim, damage behind sprinklers and caulk that has dried out are the usual Palencia repairs. Each is cut back to sound stucco, tied into the lath and finished to match the original texture and color.

Courtyard and garden walls, summer kitchens, additions and new homes get stucco to the Florida Building Code, with lath and a two-layer water barrier behind three coats on framed walls.
More on stucco installation
Where a wall has failed or earlier repairs did not hold, the old stucco comes off down to the sheathing, your contractor checks the framing and water barrier, and new stucco goes on with one even finish.
More on stucco replacementHomes built in the 2000s and 2010s are at the age where caulk dries out and fine cracks appear. Most can wait. The ones worth having seen are growing, letting water in, or near a stain inside.
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.

Our two story house needed some stucco repair on the second floor and we got a few stucco quotes from a few local stucco companies. These guys were prompt, punctual, and we could tell by the way they communicated that they got it all together and knew what they were doing. They did not disappoint.

Palencia's first homes went up in the 2000s and are now about twenty years old, the age when original caulk around windows and doors has dried out and hairline cracks open at corners and arches. Newer sections such as Palencia North, built mostly since 2010, are reaching their first round of upkeep.
Mediterranean-style homes have more detail than most: arches, columns, stone accents and trim bands. Each place where stucco meets another material is a joint that can open, and those joints are where rain usually gets in first.
Matching the finish matters as much as the repair. Because the community holds homes to consistent design standards, a patch in the wrong texture or shade stands out, so your local Stucco HQ contractor matches the existing finish before the work is done.

The nearest full NOAA record is the St. Augustine station, about nine miles south. Its 1991 to 2020 normals show about 50.6 inches of rain a year, with August the wettest month, July highs near 91°F and around 62 days a year at 90°F or above.
Air off the Intracoastal keeps humidity high, and shaded lots under the community's tree canopy stay damp longer after storms. The June 1 to November 30 hurricane season brings the heaviest rain. Sound caulk at every joint is what keeps it out.
Palencia recorded 69 qualified single-family sales in 2025, with a median price of about $800,000 across 2025 and 2026 sales, according to the Florida Department of Revenue. Buyers at that level notice cracks and mismatched patches.
