Tip #7: Maintaining Structural Integrity ⚖️

Stucco is not only an aesthetic choice but also a protective layer for your home. Ensuring its structural integrity is crucial for both appearance and function. Here are some key practices to keep your stucco in great shape:

🔎Regular Inspections:

• Scheduled Checks: Inspect your stucco at least twice a year, ideally in spring and fall. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bulges, or areas where the stucco is pulling away from the underlying structure.
• Post-Storm Inspections: After severe weather events, check your stucco for any new damage. Heavy rain, wind, and hail can all impact the integrity of stucco.

✅Address Cracks Promptly:

• Seal Small Cracks: Small cracks can be sealed with caulk and elastomeric paint. This prevents water from entering and causing further damage.
• Professional Repairs for Larger Cracks: Larger cracks or areas where the stucco is detaching should be addressed by professionals. Our team is always ready to help with expert repairs.
