Hardcoat Stucco RepairHardcoat stucco or traditional stucco is a popular version of stucco. Hardcoat stucco because of its cement base is ideal in humid areas as it is more resistant to water damage. With proper maintenance your hardcoat stucco should last for more than 50 years without giving you many headaches of stucco repair. It is porous and breathable and doesn’t trap moisture. But hardcoat stucco has its disadvantages also. It cracks easily and minor cracks if not fixed on time can undermine your building leading to major repairs. We have been the best in the industry to repair stucco cracks. Though hardcoat stucco is considered to be of low maintenance a lot depends on how you have installed it in the first place. Faulty installation can make your hardcoat stucco give you nightmares. And of course, as a best practice, regular maintenance of stucco is always recommended to avoid major stucco repair cracks from developing.

EIFS RepairEIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finishing System) is the synthetic version of stucco. It is widely used and at times more preferred than hard coat stucco. EIFS is a lighter material than hardcoat stucco and is easy to install. But compared to hardcoat stucco EIFS is non-porous and it also traps moisture. This increases the chances of water damage in EIFS. Stucco repair cracks are also quite common in EIFS. In spite of this, EIFS is a popular option and finds its way into many constructions. However, care is required while painting EIFS. It is recommended to use thicker paints which are less moist.
How do you know whether your stucco is a hardcoat or EIFS? Very simple. Just knock it and see. If it is EIFS it will sound hollow. Hardcoat stucco because of its heavy cement base will be hard to sound. EIFS is softer than a hardcoat. Any sharp blow or force can cause holes on the surface or cause unappealing dents on the walls, and you might need to repair stucco cracks that might have developed. If EIFS is used in exteriors, it can be more prone to damage because of these features. Hence, if you have used EIFS on the outside wall, a good stucco repair contractor will have to help you out in exterior stucco repair. Since EIFS requires more care and maintenance you should hire stucco repair companies like Apopka Stucco Repair Pros to help you out in stucco issues you face while using EIFS. |
Stucco Water Damage RepairWhether your stucco is hardcoat or EIFS, the sad part is that water damage can show up in both, though it is a little less in hardcoat stucco. Some of the signs of water damage you should look out for are molds growing on the surface, bubbles on the walls, your stucco losing its texture or a damp odor. If you encounter frequent signs of water damage in your stucco, it is time to call Apopka Stucco Repair Pros to find out what is causing the water damage in the first place.
Causes of water damage can be many. It could even be because of the faulty composition of stucco mixture, and hence one needs to be careful while preparing the stucco mix for installation. Faulty composition could be the primary reason for your stucco developing water damage. Not only this, improper installation too can lead to stucco water damage. Whatever it be, if you see a sign of water damage, do not ignore it, because the cause should be identified first. If there are cracks in your stucco, it will cause water to come inside the structure. The direction of water damage may be from inside or outside. So, take a stucco repair company’s help to know the cause of damage. Repairing water damage is not all that simple either. So, the best thing is to get the stucco installed right and follow a proper maintenance schedule. So, call Apopka Stucco Repair Pros, Florida office at first sight of a crack, to do a stucco crack repair. |
Stucco SealingDon’t confuse stucco sealing with normal painting. Stucco sealing is way different from painting. Sealing is not just the application of paint on the stucco. Here the pores and cracks are identified carefully and sealed. Since stucco is porous it absorbs moisture easily. So, stucco should be sealed properly to prevent moisture from damaging the walls. Sealing should be redone at proper intervals., say every 5 years. Hence, call a stucco repair contractor for a professional opinion on whether you need a sealing.

Stucco Patching and WaterproofingStucco patch repair is something, we at Apopka Stucco Repair Pros are experts at. Stucco cracks might show up here and there in your building, meaning you need to do a stucco hole repair. Minor cracks can be easily dealt with flexible sealants. However, this is not always sufficient. At times it requires an expert stucco repair service to diagnose the issue, and you may need to call a stucco crack repair company to know the extent of damage. A stucco repair is not always simple. A stucco hole repair might at times require that we chop off a little bit of the surrounding area so that it blends with the surrounding areas well and gives a good finish. This would not cause you unnecessary expense, and in the long run once we apply the stucco patch and finish off work, you will be left with lesser issues and a better finish on the stucco.
A major culprit causing damage to stucco is moisture. Any good stucco repair contractor would advise you to waterproof your stucco. Water can cause several damages to stucco-like molds, cracks and texture. Waterproofing is one of the best solutions to maintain your stucco. A good stucco contractor will tell you that though the main idea is to apply waterproof paint, it is something that should be done professionally by stucco repair contractors. With water damage issues increasing, waterproofing is becoming more popular nowadays. The process of applying waterproof paints should be repeated every few years by expert stucco repair professionals to avoid any further issue from developing. Apopka Stucco Repair Pros are among the expert stucco repair companies to provide best waterproofing services. |
