Stucco Crack REPAIR SUGAR LAND TX
Hairline cracks are always common in any stucco, concrete or masonry constructions. Quite simply concrete contracts and expands and often the relief will be found by the stucco itself in the form of a crack. On cracks that are bigger than a hairline, it is important to evaluate the situations that caused it. Many times it is due to insufficient joints. Other times, cracks are due to shifting of the structure due to age and soil movement.
Though installing a joint is a more involved repair, our team is equipped to handle it and make it look like the joint was originally installed. Installing additional joints is never a sunk cost, as ample joints give all the concrete portions room to move and will reduce likelihood of cracking. Often times, our technicians are able to tell where a joint is missing from the original install. This is because large spans of stucco with no joints are a tell-tale sign of an omission on the part of the original project, especially if the rest of the house has somewhat consistently spaced joints. Call us with any questions on this 713-903-2344. |

Sometimes there are no other signs of problems and customers will opt to only repair the crack on the surface. If we find the crack to have been due to uncontrollable factors, we may also recommend a surface repair without any further adjustments. This will stop any future moisture intrusion, as moisture intrusion may lead to worse problems down the road.
Crack repairs are fairly straightforward but will also require the usual scaffolding build-out and substantial noise and dust will be generated by the process. One may think to refill cracks with any simple compound that is advertised and sold in store or online. We have found the longest lasting and most visually appealing solution is always to do substantial crack chasing and grinding down work. Then we use a mesh as reinforcement for our cement compound that we will use to do our patch up work. Our technicians then use their skill to match the final texture and make any patches as invisible as possible once the final paint coat is done. We have found this method to be the best at reducing moisture intrusion.

Any repairs we carry out will receive two coats, a primer and a paint coat in order to make sure your new stucco plaster section is up to specification so that overall the texture matches. It is very obvious when someone paints over a new section and does not try to blend it with the existing finish. 99% of our repairs are almost invisible to the naked eye once finished and we always try to work in whole sections if necessary to achieve this.
So whether the repairs you need are to improve the visual aspect of your home or if they are needed to prevent problems, you can trust we will recommend the appropriate repairs in any situation. Give us a call 713-903-2344.
