Stucco Repair Colorado Springs

Green colored stucco with a crack running through it
With our extreme weather variations in Colorado, it's no wonder there is such a high demand for stucco repairs. Cracking or chipped stucco can sometimes be just the beginning of your problems. If you're seeing indications of problems with your stucco installation it's best not to wait too long before having a professional take a look. Sometimes the issue is a bad stucco installation or defective materials. Other times you may be dealing with water intrusion or damage caused by freezing and thawing.  

​Some other reasons for problems include:

  • Incorrect installation of lath
  • Incorrect mixing procedures
  • Settling, shifting, wind or stress
  • Shrinkage or expansion
  • Base coat did not properly cure
​
Crack types include:

  1. Defined Patterns - Usually seen as a defined pattern of vertical and horizontal cracks. This likely means that the lath was not stapled or nailed properly. This is a serious issue and should be addressed by a professional.
  2. Diagonal - These types of cracks generally result from settling, shifting or vibrations emanating from a particular area (e.g. a diagonal crack coming off of a doorframe).  Once larger than 1/8 “ wide you should probably have it looked at.
  3. Spiderweb - Base coat may have dried too quickly. Other reasons could include incorrect mixing procedures or it was too cold when applied.
  4. Cracks on foam trim - Often where two pieces of foam meet, usually from expansion and contraction. If mesh tape is used to cover the seam this will often not occur.
  5. Hairline - Often seen in new homes due to shifting or other stresses.
