IDENTIFYING STUCCO ISSUES
There are a few distinct warning signs that can indicate when it is time for yout stucco to be remediated.
Signs of age & damage:
STUCCO CRACKS
Numerous cracks could be more than an aesthetic issue. If you have large cracks over a quarter inch wide, this can indicate a structural problem.
Stucco Stains
Stucco stains can require a simple cleaning, or they can indicate severe problems, including water damage and mold. Don't just paint over stains and mask the condition. You need to address the underlying problems first.
Stucco Crumbles
Crumbling stucco could be due to age, stress, pest infestations, settling, water damage, vibrations, impact accidents, and even improper stucco installation. The problem can worsen and water can seep inside.
STUCCO INDENTATIONS
Indentations or soft spots in your home’s stucco could indicitate water damage lurking beneath the plaster. Water damage can require extensive structural repairs.
Stucco Moss
It’s essential to address the moisture problem that creates such an inviting space for moss. Any steps that you can take to minimize the moisture at the walls and prevent water from soaking the area is beneficial.
Impact Damage
Impact damage can stem from lawnmowers, weed whackers, kids, and woodpeckers (and more). If your stucco has cracks, stains, moss, crumbles, indentations, soft spots, or doesn’t look right, it’s a good idea to have the stucco inspected before further damage occurs.

With remediation, the problems are solved at the source. If moisture penetrates the exterior, it will keep coming back if only "repaired".
protects the whole home
Stucco serves as a defense against moisture intrusion and professional remediation can properly protect the rest of your home from damage for a long period of time.

Stucco remediation can be done quickly and efficiently when skilled installers with their own specialized equipment and tools are on the job.
Our Evaluation Process

2. REMOVING ALL DAMAGED STUCCO PIECES
