Tamarac grew up fast in the late 1960s and 1970s. Of the 16,624 single-family homes on the 2026 tax roll, 10,109 were built in those two decades, and the Mainlands of Tamarac Lakes alone holds 4,828 homes. That puts most of the city's stucco at around fifty years old, on houses that are nearly all concrete block. Your licensed local Stucco HQ contractor for South Florida works with Tamarac homeowners. A real person answers your call, and your contractor sees the wall before giving you a free written estimate.
Most Tamarac calls are repairs on homes from the late 1960s and 1970s, along with a few newer neighborhoods. New stucco and full re-stucco handle the larger jobs.
Fine cracks across older walls, cracks at window and door corners, and patches from decades of small repairs are the usual Tamarac jobs. Your contractor repairs each into sound stucco and blends the texture and paint.
More on stucco repair
Additions, screened porches closed in as rooms, garden walls and new homes get stucco applied to the Florida Building Code: two coats over block, or three over lath on framed walls.
More on stucco installation
When an older wall has more patch than original finish, the stucco is taken off to the block, your contractor checks the wall, and new stucco is applied in one consistent texture.
More on stucco replacementWith 98.5% of Tamarac homes built of block, a hairline crack in fifty-year-old stucco is usually just age. The ones to watch are cracks that widen, stain or let water reach the 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.

The 1970s neighborhoods, including the Mainlands sections, Westwood, the Woodlands, Heathgate and the Tamarac Lakes communities, make up the core of the city. Stucco on these homes has usually been through several paint jobs and repairs, and the original finish is often hard to see under them.
Common issues at this age are hairline cracks spreading across a wall, cracks at the corners of windows and doors, and sealant around openings that has dried and split. Small cracks are easy to repair; the goal is closing them before rain gets behind the paint.
Tamarac is not finished building, either. Woodmont and Springlake came in the 1980s and 1990s, and newer neighborhoods such as Sabal Palm, Central Parc and the Trails have helped add 950 homes since 2015. Young stucco on those can show fine cracks in its first years, so check any builder warranty first.

Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, about 4 miles east, has the nearest full NOAA record. Its 1991 to 2020 normals show 56.5 inches of rain a year, September as the wettest month at 8.1 inches, July highs around 91°F and about 93 days a year at 90°F or warmer.
Fifty years of that heat is what has opened most of the fine cracks in Tamarac's older stucco. Walls warm and expand in the sun and contract overnight, and summer storms, along with the June 1 to November 30 hurricane season, push water into whatever has opened. Regular paint and sealed cracks keep that water out of the block.
Tamarac recorded 678 qualified single-family sales in 2025, with a median price of about $384,000 across 2025 and 2026 sales, according to the Florida Department of Revenue. With most homes around fifty years old, stucco cracks and worn sealant are common inspection findings.
