- Stucco repair

Cracks are the most common stucco complaint. Hairline cracks are common as stucco cures and as a house settles and moves with temperature, and many are cosmetic. Wider cracks, cracks that keep coming back, and cracks with stains or soft stucco around them deserve a closer look, because water can get in behind the finish.
Crack and patch repair is part of ordinary stucco repair work, so this page lists the businesses that show stucco repair in their name, website address or Google search results. We do not have crack-specific data for a business, so ask each one how it treats cracks: whether it only fills and paints, or opens, reinforces and patches. Our guide to crack types and cost covers the general picture.
Fine cracks are common and often cosmetic, and many can be sealed with a flexible patching product or elastomeric coating. A crack that widens, reopens after repair, or sits next to a stain or soft area should be looked at by a professional.
Common reasons include normal curing and shrinkage, movement of the house, temperature swings, impact, and moisture getting in behind the stucco. The cause matters because filling a crack does not fix the cause.
Small cosmetic cracks can be a homeowner project with the right patching material. Larger or recurring cracks, cracks near windows and rooflines, and anything with signs of moisture are better handled by a contractor who can check what is behind the wall.
