Stucco Repair & Painting
Stucco cracks repaired so they don't come straight back.
Stucco is everywhere in San Antonio, and so are its hairline cracks. Clay soil that swells when it's wet and shrinks in drought moves foundations a little every year, and the stucco on top of them cracks.
How every job runs
The same four promises on every job, big or small.
- Pay when it's done No deposit and no money up front. You pay after the work is finished and you're happy with it.
- Itemized estimate first Prep, materials and labor, priced line by line before anything starts. No vague totals, no surprise fees.
- A lead on site every working hour A dedicated project lead is on your property whenever the crew is working, so there's always someone to ask.
- The owner checks in daily The owner comes by every day to inspect the work, drop off supplies and keep quality where it should be.
What's included
Painting over a crack hides it for a season. We open cracks up, fill them with a flexible patch, match the texture so the repair doesn't show, and use coatings that can stretch with the wall.
- Washing to clear dirt, chalk and mildew
- Hairline and larger cracks opened and filled
- Damaged or loose stucco cut out and patched
- Texture matched to the wall around each repair
- Patches primed before painting
- Elastomeric or acrylic coatings, chosen for the wall
- Trim, fascia and doors painted with the stucco
How the job runs
-
Walk-through
We map the cracks, tap for hollow spots and look for the cause, like a leaking gutter or a sprinkler hitting the wall.
-
Wash and repair
The wall is soft washed, cracks opened and filled, loose sections replaced and the texture matched.
-
Prime and coat
Repairs are primed and the wall gets two coats of a coating chosen for movement and sun.
-
Final walk-through
We check every repair with you in good light. You pay once you're satisfied.
Elastomeric or regular paint?
Elastomeric coatings go on thick and stretch, which bridges hairline cracks and keeps water out. They suit stucco that moves. They also trap moisture if the wall can't dry, so they're not right for every house.
Where the stucco is sound and the cracks are few, a quality acrylic exterior paint breathes better and holds its color. We'll recommend one or the other for your walls, and say why, in the estimate.

Questions about stucco repair & painting
Will the cracks come back?
Repairs done this way hold far longer than paint alone, but if the foundation keeps moving, new hairline cracks can appear. We'll tell you if the cracks look structural.
Will the patches show?
We match the texture to the wall around each repair, and the whole wall is painted afterward, so the color is even.
Is power washing safe on stucco?
High pressure can drive water behind stucco and damage it. We use low-pressure soft washing instead.
