Stucco Repair
Services
Crack Assessment
We identify whether cracks are cosmetic or structural before any work begins.
Structural Repair
Cracks opened, cleaned, filled with flexible compound.
Custom Color Match
We mix stucco color to match your existing aged finish.
Las Vegas sits on caliche soil. a calcium-carbite layer that expands and contracts with temperature and moisture. Add 115-degree summers, cold winter nights, and monsoon season, and your stucco is under constant stress.
Most homeowners don't know whether a crack needs a minor repair or a full restoration. That's why we start every project with an honest assessment. We'll tell you what's cosmetic, what's structural, and what can wait. because not everything needs to be fixed right now.
We focus on small to mid-size repairs. For larger structural projects, we're happy to refer trusted stucco specialists who can handle the full scope. Because the right crew matters more than the sale.
Hairline Cracks (Under 1/8")
Cosmetic. Caused by thermal expansion. Seal with 100% acrylic coating to prevent moisture entry.
Settlement Cracks (1/4"+)
Structural movement from caliche soil. Requires flexible fill, proper bonding, and color-matched re-coat.
Moisture Intrusion
Water staining behind cracks. Must be dried, sealed at the source, and re-coated to prevent mold and further damage.
Common Questions
Stucco Repair FAQ
Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask most about stucco in the desert.
How do I know if a stucco crack is serious?
Hairline cracks less than 1/8 inch wide are almost always cosmetic. Caused by normal thermal expansion. Cracks wider than 1/4 inch, diagonal cracks from window or door corners, or cracks with visible moisture staining need closer attention. During your free inspection, we'll tell you exactly what we're seeing and what it means.
Can you match the color of my existing stucco?
Yes, though it takes skill and experience. Stucco fades over time, so new material rarely matches aged finish directly. We mix custom colors and test on small areas before committing. For larger repairs, we'll often recommend re-coating the entire wall or elevation for a consistent look.
What is 100% acrylic coating and do I need it?
100% acrylic is a premium coating built specifically to protect and last on stucco. Compared to a cheap "stucco paint" off the home center shelf, the difference shows up in two places: color retention (100% acrylic holds its color for years instead of fading and chalking after one or two summers) and substrate protection (it stays flexible and expands and contracts with the stucco instead of becoming brittle, peeling, or cracking with the surface). Cheap stucco paints save you money up front, but you'll have to repaint in 3-5 years. We recommend 100% acrylic on any stucco that's been repaired or is showing early signs of wear. It's the best long-term protection available for desert exteriors.
What causes stucco to crack in Las Vegas?
Desert soil expansion and contraction is the main cause. Las Vegas sits on caliche soil that shifts with temperature and moisture changes. Add the thermal stress of 115-degree summers and cold winter nights, and you get cracks. Especially at seams, corners, and around openings. It's normal, but it needs to be sealed before moisture gets behind the surface.
Do you work with HOAs on color approvals?
Yes. We're familiar with the HOA approval process in most major Las Vegas, Henderson, and St. George communities. We help you document color selections, submit for approval, and ensure the final result matches exactly what was approved.
Can you repair stucco and paint the exterior in the same project?
Absolutely. This is actually our preferred approach and where homeowners save the most. Our stucco repair and exterior painting crews work together. One estimate, one schedule, one point of contact. And 100% acrylic paint over repaired stucco adds an extra layer of protection that extends the life of the repair.
