Stucco Cracks on a Richmond home need to be fixed right. Richmond Stucco & Plastering starts by finding out why the stucco cracks happened in the first place. Then, we clean and prepare the area that needs repair. Small hairline cracks in Richmond stucco are often filled with an elastomeric sealant. This sealant is flexible and helps the stucco move with changes in temperature. For larger stucco cracks, we cut out the damaged stucco section. We then apply new stucco in layers, making sure each layer bonds correctly. We match the texture and the color of the existing stucco finish. This makes sure the stucco repair blends in well with your Richmond home's exterior. Fixing these stucco cracks quickly is important.

The Finish Coat is the last layer, and it needs to dry and set, which can take a full day. Each Stucco coat needs one to three days to dry, and we will mist the Stucco siding lightly during this time to help prevent cracking. Stucco cures fully in one to two months after drying.
