Cracks in your stucco may seem minor—but they can be a sign of something much bigger beneath the surface. At Alasya Construction, we’ve helped homeowners across the Greater Toronto Area assess and fix stucco damage before it turns into costly repairs.
🔍 Common Causes of Stucco Cracks
Before you decide what to do, it helps to understand why stucco cracks in the first place:
- Normal settling of the home
- Improper installation or curing
- Moisture intrusion behind the walls
- Temperature changes (freeze-thaw cycles)
- Structural movement or foundation shifts
Not all cracks are dangerous—but ignoring the wrong ones can lead to serious water damage, mold, or even structural decay.
🛠️ When to Repair Stucco
Repairing is often enough when:
- The cracks are hairline thin (less than 1/16 inch)
- Cracking is localized (a single area)
- There’s no sign of moisture or staining
- The rest of the stucco is in good shape
In these cases, a patch or skim coat can restore both function and appearance.
💡 Pro Tip: Ask your contractor about color-matched stucco so your patch blends in seamlessly.
⚠️ When to Replace Stucco
You may need to replace stucco if:
- Cracks are wide, long, or spreading
- There’s bulging, crumbling, or flaking
- You see discoloration, mold, or moisture spots
- Your stucco is older than 20 years
- It was installed over wood framing without a proper moisture barrier
In these situations, full replacement protects your home’s structure and ensures long-term performance.
