How to Quickly Repair and Seal Stucco Cracks | Fix Stucco Before Painting

Stucco exteriors are common here in Florida. Unfortunately, even when properly maintained, they can split the paint and crack every few years! Luckily, it's incredible easy to fix. These hairline cracks can be repaired by a weekend DIY-er in a matter of minutes. Prevent moisture and insect intrusion and save money by completing this repair yourself. All it takes is a bucket of water, rag, caulking gun, and caulk.

Materials Used:

Maintaining your exterior stucco is important to prevent water and bug intrusion. Florida is home to termites, carpenter ants, roaches, and more that are eager to find a dark, dry place to live. Constant, heavy rainfalls are typical and without proper sealing, can lead to major damage.
