Stucco Repair
Hairline cracks, settlement gaps, and impact damage are inevitable on Florida stucco — but they don't have to lead to water intrusion or another repaint. Launch Painting Co. repairs, textures, and finishes stucco as part of a single exterior project so the patch disappears under your new topcoat.
Is it time?
Common around windows, doors, and corners. Cosmetic but they let water and salt air in — seal them before the next storm season.
Usually shrinkage from the original install. We grind, fill, and texture-match before priming and painting.
Loose stucco, blown-off corners, or hurricane-driven punctures. We rebuild back to substrate, lath if needed, and finish to match.
Salts leaching through the stucco. Diagnose the moisture source first, then seal with a masonry primer rated for Florida conditions.
Tap-test reveals where stucco has separated from the lath. We cut out the failed section and rebuild — not just paint over it.
Bad patches always telegraph through the finish. We re-texture and re-prime so the repair is invisible.
Who this is for
We work best with homeowners who care about prep, premium products, and craftsmanship — not the lowest bid. If any of these sound like you, we're a fit:
Our process
We walk every elevation, tap-test for hollow areas, document cracks, and give you a written, itemized estimate.
Failed stucco removed back to sound substrate. Lath repaired or replaced where needed.
Fresh stucco applied and hand-textured to match the existing wall — sand, knockdown, or smooth.
Masonry primer, then two coats of elastomeric or 100% acrylic topcoat rated for Florida UV and humidity.

Frequently asked
Florida's heat-and-humidity cycles, hurricane-driven movement, and salt-air exposure all stress stucco. The most common cracks we see are hairline cosmetic cracks at corners and around windows, settlement cracks at foundation level, and impact damage from storms. Most are repairable without a full re-stucco — but they should be sealed before water gets behind the wall.
Both. We routinely combine stucco crack repair with full exterior repaints — patch, sand, prime, and topcoat in the same project so the repair disappears under the new finish. One crew, one warranty, no coordination headaches.
Not when it's done right. We feather and texture-match the patch to your existing stucco — Florida sand, knockdown, or smooth — then prime with a high-build masonry primer so the patch absorbs paint at the same rate as the surrounding wall.
New stucco needs 28–30 days to fully cure before topcoating with acrylic paint. Spot patches with fast-set materials can be painted in 3–7 days. We use the correct primer for the cure stage to prevent efflorescence and adhesion failure.
Yes. We work within HOA color palettes and submit patch-and-paint scopes that meet ARC requirements in Viera, Suntree, Heritage Isle, Baytree, and most Brevard County communities.
