Windermere is two places with one address. The Town of Windermere, platted in 1889 on the shore of Lake Butler, has just 1,195 single-family homes, with a median build year of 1989. Around it, 12,880 more homes use a Windermere address in unincorporated Orange County, most of them built since 2000, in Keene's Pointe, Summerport, Lakes of Windermere and the newer villages of Horizon West. Your local Stucco HQ contractor for Central Florida serves both. Call at any hour and a person picks up, and your contractor looks at the wall in person before putting a free estimate in writing.
Most Windermere calls are repairs on homes from the 2000s and 2010s, plus older homes in the town itself. New stucco and full re-stucco handle additions and the larger projects.
Cracks at windows, doors and the corners of large walls, patches that no longer match, and worn stucco at the base of the wall. Each repair is cut back to sound stucco and textured to match the finish, including smooth and custom finishes on larger homes.
More on stucco repair
Additions, summer kitchens, garage conversions 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.
More on stucco installation
When the stucco has loosened from the wall or carries too many patches to blend, it is removed down to the block or sheathing, your contractor checks what is underneath, and new stucco is applied and finished.
More on stucco replacementOutside the town, 95.4% of Windermere-address homes are concrete block on the 2026 tax roll, and on block a fine crack is usually cosmetic. Inside the town about one home in three is wood frame, and on those a crack that lets water reach the sheathing deserves a quicker look.
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 crew at Stucco HQ was a pleasure to work with. With such a big undertaking, Anthony and his stucco installers were always open to our questions and sympathetic to our concerns. Anthony was really accommodating of our schedule. He and his team come highly recommended by us. They did an excellent job installing stucco on the entire home and our home looks awesome!

Great stucco repair company to deal with. Finished much needed stucco repairs on time and within budget. Professional and friendly. Great job!
Most Windermere-address homes are young. The 2000s produced 6,627 of the homes outside the town and the 2010s another 3,978, in Summerport, Keene's Pointe, Lakes of Windermere, Belmere, Lake Sawyer South and Windermere Trails. Stucco that age most often shows cracks at window and door corners and along the tall walls of two-story homes, usually from the house settling and the wall moving with the heat.
The town is older. Of its 1,195 homes, 134 were built before 1960 and 218 more in the 1960s and 1970s, on the original town plat and around Lake Butler. Older stucco there has been painted and patched over the decades, and lakefront walls and shaded walls under the oaks stay damp longer after rain.
Larger homes bring their own work. Two-story walls, arches, columns and banding make a repair harder to blend, and a patch on a smooth or custom finish shows more than one on a standard texture. Matching the finish and the paint is a big part of the job here.
Whether your home is on one of the old town's lakeside streets or in a newer Horizon West village, the first step should be a call that someone answers. Stucco HQ makes sure it is. Your repair is handled by a licensed, insured stucco contractor serving Central Florida, and every estimate is free.

Homes in the Town of Windermere and in the county neighborhoods with a Windermere address are covered the same way.
Once your contractor has seen the wall, you get the work and its price on paper, with a note of anything that can wait.
NOAA's Orlando West station sits about a mile north of the town. Its 1991 to 2020 normals average 53.6 inches of rain a year, with June the wettest month at 8.1 inches, and July highs average 92.6°F. Freezing nights are rare, about two in an average winter.
Big walls take the full afternoon sun, expand, and cool again overnight, and over the years that movement opens fine cracks. Summer storms and the June 1 to November 30 hurricane season then drive rain into them, so sealed cracks and sound paint matter most before the wet season starts.
The Florida Department of Revenue recorded 58 qualified single-family sales in the town in 2025 and 564 in the Windermere-address areas outside it. Median prices across 2025 and 2026 sales were about $1,289,000 in the town and $798,000 outside it. Inspection reports on homes this size often list cracks at windows and corners, and older patches that no longer match.
Send the stucco items from the report, and your local Stucco HQ contractor will price them and fit the work to your closing date. Estimates are for stucco work you plan to have done.
Only about one Windermere-address home in twelve is inside the town. Town homes go through the Town of Windermere's Development Services, while Keene's Pointe, Isleworth, Lake Butler Sound, the Horizon West villages and the other county neighborhoods get their permits from Orange County. Your contractor checks which office applies before any work begins.
Most of the newer neighborhoods have homeowners associations, some with architectural review for exterior colors and finishes. Check yours before changing a color.
Stucco HQ serves homes in the Town of Windermere and in the Windermere-address neighborhoods of unincorporated Orange County, including the Windermere side of Horizon West.
